Our pets are part of our family, too. We want the best for our pets and we know you feel the same way about yours.
Your pet depends on you to make the right choices when it comes to his or her health and happiness. Dogs are supposed to live to be 25 to 30 years old. Surprised? Yes, they have the genetic potential to live to 30. Yes, but you can make a difference to help prolong your pet's life. They can't do that with chemically processed foods.
Don't feel guilty...you just didn't know what you didn't know. That is why we are posting the research and helping folks to start on the right track with their pet's healthy foods to help them live longer and healthier lives. the newest and best information collected. One of our goals is to educate people about their pets, the best foods to feed and the best methods to train your puppy or dog. Although you may think all pet food manufacturers have your pet's best interests in mind, this is not always the case. Current pet food regulations allow manufacturers to use ingredients that you would never knowingly give to your pet. In fact, you may be shocked to learn what some brands of pet food really contain. For example: the use of by-products (feet, bones and intestines, etc.), the 5 D's, (dead, dying, diseased, decayed, drugged), chemical preservatives (BHA and BHT) and grains that are often difficult to digest (corn, wheat, gluten and soy), which are often used as a protein source instead of meat. These last grains are what causes most pets to have allergies; corn based allergens fed into your pet, that you did not know about. I was shocked and disgusted when I first learned about how most all commercially processed dog foods are made and their ingredients. I became an educated consumer wanting the best for my dogs. They say the most dangerous woman in the world is an educated mother. How true! Pedigree and Purina are made with dangerous ingredients and deadly additives that are literally bringing our dogs to an early and painful death. Please scroll down and take a few minutes to watch
 Feeding Facts: We use only the highest quality all natural dog foods available and you can too. It may cost the same, less or We use Life's Abundance and Exclusive along with Innova Evo. We use all natural human grade foods. No processed chemicals added that cause cancer for our babies. We start with slightly wet and reducing over three days until they are eating it dry. Make sure the first three or four listed ingredients on any bag, box or can dog food is not corn, but real meat, like beef, chicken or turkey. Not meat by-products which are scary: feet, hooves, intestines, tails, and other gross parts legally allowed, etc. I wouldn't feed my family or children anything other than the healthiest foods I could get, so my puppies are treated as equal family members for the healthiest food I can find. "FOOD IS THE FIRST MEDICINE." HIPPOCRATES
We had been feeding Eukanuba small breed puppy and lamb and rice small breed dog food. But they are still processing their dog foods commercially, which means chemical preservatives. They lowered the amount of ethoxoquin to ppb (parts per billion) a known cancer causing agent. By lowering the ppb it falls below the maximum allowed by law and doesn't even have to be listed on the label! We should be warned that these poisons are still in our pet's foods. We do not use it anymore, needless to say. Over the years we have tried several different kinds of dog foods and have switched to some of the new 'all natural' dog foods made with no preservatives now, and we feel switching to the all natural foods will work best for our goal of the healthiest, happiest puppies and adult dogs. They provide all the nutrients for a growing puppy, a pregnant mother and adult dogs in our house. So we are presently using Life's Abundance, a safe all natural, organic and fresh ingredients that are human grade quality. It is the same price as the pet stores, but is delivered to you by UPS. No more lugging it home from the store. We will occasionally use Innova Evo, they are both naturally processed, not chemically processed. Innova Evo is a basic raw diet in a dry kibble form with 42% protein and you only feed one cup per day to adults. this is for adult dogs, not puppies. Get the puppy version if your dog is under a year old, follow your vet's advice as this may be too high a protein for your puppy. The dog's body utilizes this food very efficiently and produces a significantly smaller stool, which tells us that their body is using all of the ingredients successfully. Many holistic vets are going this way to the new raw diets as dogs are originally carnivores and not corn eaters. If your dog is eating corn, and has skin allergies, and hot spots - that's where they are coming from and where the incontinence problems are coming from. Get them off corn, wheat, corn gluten and wheat gluten to regain their healthy status. Switch to a better food and your dog will be healthier for it and thank you for better health. Dogs have the genetic potential to live 25 to 35 years. It is only the commercially processed foods that shorten their lives. Just like we know all the processed foods we eat are giving us all the cancers, it follows suit with your dog. It is easier to control your dogs diet to keep him or her healthy. This will ensure a longer and healthier life.  Life's Abundance is an all natural, organic dog and cat foods that are made with real meat and fish and vegetables. No artifical ingredients, no chemical preservatives, no additives. No artificial flavors or colors. No corn or corn gluten. No wheat or wheat gluten. Just all natural ingredients all made here in the US.

You also get it at the wholesale cost vs. the retail cost. So you pay what I pay as a distributor. I have the small 8 lb. bags here for you to purchase when you come to pick up your puppy or dog.
 Make sure whatever food you choose for your pet make sure it has meat or fish proteins listed as the first two ingredients, no corn or wheat products. Make sure there's nothing in it that you would'nt eat yourself. Make sure it is human grade with no carcinogens. Dogs cannot digest grains, corn and wheat and glutens are the main causes of skin problems: allergies, lesions, etc.

It has been my experience that they have terrible quality control issues that are still not resolved 8 months later. We actually found preserved dead bodies of rats in the bags of puppy food. SELECTING YOUR DRY DOG FOOD - If you had any idea where meat-by-products came from, you would never feed them to your pets. Rendered animal parts, to be exact. Otherwise known in the industry as; "The fiveD's" - Dead, Dying, Decaying, Drugged or Diseased. I won't go into the details ...do your own research and see for yourself. Be prepared for some disgustingly true facts on how some commercial dog foods are prepared. For instance, the chicken and meat rejected for human consumption is next offered to cat and dog food companies. Do you want to be feeding known carcinogens or diseased rejected meats to your family member? I think not.

I can strongly recommend you start your research on dog nutrition and overall health for your dog or cat. Do not make the common mistake of believing the leading advertisers as to the content of their dog food quality. Check it out, read the small print. If they have chemical preservatives from processing then they still have ethoxyquin as an ingredient - which has been known to be a cancer causing agent for many years and is well known to cause cancer in dogs. We wonder why all adult and elderly dogs are getting cancer like humans? It's the chemicals used in processing their food. Read the ingredient listing: if corn is listed first, then it is a poor quality, junk food. Find one that has meat listed as the first ingredient. Do not believe the ads that show Purina or Pedigree or Ole Roy as a good quality dog food. Purina makes only two dog brands that have meat listed first, Purina One, which is still processed with chemicals. And Exclusive - the only one that is the all natural brand with no chemicals. Do your homework. Check the brands and read the small print. Look for foods that contain all natural human grade ingredients for the best dog foods for your family member. DHA is a key brain-building nutrient for pets and humans. Look for Omega 3, 6 and 9, fish or fish meat, etc.
A diet rich in DHA supports optimal brain development. At 6 weeks of age, puppies have acquired only 70 percent of their adult brain mass. Neural development continues well into the postweaning period. Feeding a puppy a diet rich in DHA supports development of neural tissues for optimal cognitive function DHA is the most abundant fatty acid in the brain, and has been shown to be critical for healthy growth and optimal neural development. Dogs experience their most rapid periods of growth during the first 6 to12 months, so during this period it?s critical to feed a puppy the right diet. Look for dog foods that contain the highest level of DHA for optimal brain development and a smart, trainable puppy. Learn from experts in puppy nutrition. Visit the all natural sites and make your decisions. Find a dog food that has the highest level of DHA, a key brain-building nutrient They provide important Antioxidants for a healthy immune system and targets six essential health functions for total body health every day
You are about to discover the terrifying-truth about commercial dog food that kills thousands of dogs across the Any dog that eats commercial dog food is almost certain to die prematurely and by the time symptoms are noticeable, it's too late to prevent an agonizing death except by lethal injection. On this page, I show you a simple solution proven to increase the lifespan of your dog by up to 100% and save you up to $10,000 in medical bills. To discover these amazing secrets just continue reading and your reward is a super-healthy, incredibly-happy dog that stays by-your-side for up to 8.3-years longer than statistically predicted. "Commercial Dog Food is Killing Your Dog, The widespread disease and death of dogs from nutritionally inadequate and poison-laden commercial dog food is no secret in the world of vets and dog experts....
"Dog Experts Prove, Balanced Home-Made Diet Increases Dog Lifespan By Up To 100%!" Wendy and Jack Volhard are well-known & respected, 30-year dog training veterans. Wendy writes about how her dogs live to amazing old age through proper diet:
I pray you have not seen the following symptoms in your own dog.. "The Death of Your Dog Looks Like This.." Slowly, I began to notice something unusual about Noble. He didn't have the same bounce to his step that he was famous for. At times he even seemed reluctant to go for our regular exercise, which was always the highlight of his day. I dismissed it as him feeling a bit off or maybe a touch of laziness... but it didn't pass, in fact it got worse and then worse still. I eventually took him to the local vet and was told his kidneys were failing and soon, he would be dead. "But, but... he's so young, so strong, so happy... I don't understand, how could this be?" Devastated, with tears welled in my eyes, I chocked back the urge to sob and listened for my vet's reply... "The Next Words From My Vet's Mouth Flooded Me With Rage! He Said, 'Andrew...."He said..
[I later discovered through my own research, preservatives are not the only reason dog food kills dogs, more on that soon... you'll be outraged!] Noble passed away in my arms from lethal injection at 3:46pm on July 23, 2003 - the saddest day of my life. An innocent victim of dog-food poisoning. PLEASE, don't let this tragic story become your own! I've spent the past 3 years researching the truth about commercial dog food and proper canine health and nutrition. This is the terrifying truth I discovered... "Commercial Dog Food is Killing Your Dog Because.." My own vet said commercial dog food killed my dog, Noble, because preservatives it contains caused his kidneys to fail. In fact, through my own research I discovered dog food contains at least 6 deadly chemicals that have been banned from human foods because they cause: · Kidney cancer · Bladder cancer · Skin cancer · Stomach cancer · Spleen cancer · Leukemia · Liver dysfunction · Major organ failure · Immune system collapse · Severe allergic reactions · Birth Defects · Blindness · Chronic Diarrhea · Hair Loss and · Behavior problems, including increased aggressiveness --> very dangerous if your dog is around children And if you think, like I did, that buying foods labeled as chemical and preservative free makes them safe, think again... it's just more lies!
Here's another dirty trick they pull on us and our dogs, it is shameful and deadly.. read on.. "Is Your Dog a Cannibal? Think Again.." Prepare to be horrified.. (graphic photos were removed so children would not see them) Your dog's food contains dead pets, mostly cats and dogs! The city of Not only is this immoral and disgusting... it's deadly. The true horror is the drug used to kill these stray and abandoned animals, Sodium Pentobarbital, is not broken down by the manufacturing process and is still present in active form in your dog's food!! And dog food companies don't stop with pets, your dog is also eating euthanized animals from zoos, animal control and putrid, decaying road kill. All of these dead animals and other ghastly materials are processed until the portion left over for dog food production is a brown powder, which consists of ... 25% fecal matter - yes, 25% animal crap! [Author, Howard F. Lyman]
That's a lot so far to take in, so.. "Let's Step Back For a Moment & Summarize.." You've just discovered that these multi-billion companies, that bombard you night-and-day with advertising intended to get your trust and make you believe they care about you and your dog.... .... are in fact taking your hard-earned money with one hand and passing you with the other, a deadly, nutritionally inadequate, dog-killing cocktail which includes: · Preservatives, known to inflict on our innocent dogs, horrendous diseases like multiple cancers, kidney failure, liver failure, immune system collapse and many more heartless ways to die. · The processed faeces (crap) of other dead animals. · Putrid road kill. · The decaying carcasses of dead dogs, cats, zoo animals and animal control · The deadly poison, Sodium Pentobarbital, used the kill the animals mentioned above by lethal injection. · Pet collars, flea collars, ID tags and plastic bags No more!!! If you continue to feed your dog exclusively on commercial pet food, you are dooming them to a painful, traumatic death - an innocent death! And now that you know the truth, you too can be held responsible if you do nothing about it. Here's the solution.. "This Is What You Must Do, Starting Today, If You Want Your Dog To Live.." If you want to save your dog from the horrific death suffered by hundreds of other dogs in your local area, probably in the last year alone, then you MUST follow these 3 steps:
The results of the research are on this list of the best, most healthy, organic and preservative free dog foods to be found in 
Raw, meaty bones should be a part of their diet. The size of the meaty bone is determined by the size of your pet's mouth. Don't cut them up - let them do the processing. Meaty bones are the dog's toothbrush and are vital to help prevent gum disease and overall sickness. Start at an early age after 6 months when their baby teeth have fallen out and their permanent teeth are all in. Do not get confused and think we mean large knuckle bones or bones only. These can often cause tooth fractures and constipation as well as pose a threat as a choking hazard. As with anything, monitor your pup when he/she is eating. Use Greenies only for adult dogs, use Greenies Smart Biscuits for your puppy. *TIP* FREEZE meaty bones - then thaw just before use. This will help kill many bacteria that could be harmful. When feeding meats without bones, ALWAYS cook thoroughly. A healthy, balanced diet is the key to maintaining optimum health and prevention of disease. We believe that fresh natural food along with a premium kibble (listed above) and supplements makes a healthy dog. We have been feeding this way for healthy dogs and puppies.
Our dogs do not have skin problems, intestinal issues, runny eyes or gas. They are not overweight, they have shiny coats and excellent muscle tone. They have NEVER been to the vet with an illness. Our litters are robust & healthy and our puppy mortality rate non-existant. Even first time moms who usually have 2 - 3 pups are having 5 -6 pups and the older moms are having 7, 8 and twice we had a litter of 9.
When we were feeding Iams and Eukanuba we were getting many stillborn babies and it is heartbreaking to loose them before they are born. Our dogs also were getting colds and runny eyes in the winter. Since the summer of 2004 we have switched to all natural and organic dog foods - the stillborns stopped immediately. What does that tell you? Important advice when feeding bones: 1.) Do NOT under any circumstances, feed them cooked bones! Cooked bones splinter. Raw MEATY bones are fine and good for them. Supervise when eating bones or anything they may choke on. 2.) Easy on the fruits, a carrot, a small apple, pineapple chunks or banana once a week would be fine. Some dogs love fruit and some won't touch it. Do not feed citrus of any kind. Oranges are on the dangerous foods list also. 3.) For your dairy source, use cottage cheese, goat's milk or whole plain yogurt. 4.) RAISINS, GRAPES, ONIONS, and CHOCOLATE can be fatal. They cause kidney failure. PLEASE consider feeding your new pup as we do. A great book to have on hand is; NATURAL HEALTH for DOGS & CATS by Dr. Pitcairn. It is a realistic book combining conventional ideas with holistic/homeopathic remedies and suggestions. Also contains a lot of information and recipes for a natural raw diet. Make the right decision for your beloved family pet and what is convenient for you. Make good decisions based on your own research. We will always be here to help.
