Since this thread was supposed to be from those that ACTUALLY feed the LA food, please rest assured that there are only human grade ingredients in the LA food and treats.
I had the same concerns about the kibble but after doing tons of research, we found that the LA has the highest quality of ingredients. All of the chicken meal is only made from the chicken breast...not the whole chicken like some kibbles. There are 90 ingredients in each kibble so it is very concentrated. The vet that formulates this food is a holistic vet and is very hands on when it comes to her products. I am in weekly conversation with her. Unlike mose commercial foods, how many can say that they actually talk to the one that formulated it?? I can call Dr. Jane or email her and she will respond to every question without hesitation.
Here is a little bit about Dr. Jane:
First and foremost, Dr. Jane is the ultimate pet person. She shares her life with a dog, a goat, two horses, a monkey, and two cats. Her pets are her family and she is dedicated to their health and happiness. Dr. Jane knows you feel the same way about your pets and she has devoted her life to the health and wellness of our precious companions.
Dr. Jane is a highly respected and nationally recognized holistic veterinarian. She is the author of three national books on pet care and nutrition and has served on professional boards including the Cornell Feline Health Center. Dr. Jane served as the President of the Veterinary Medical Association in NYC and was appointed by former Mayor Rudolph Giuliani to help start one of the largest animal shelters in the United States. She has also appeared on many network television and cable programs and numerous radio stations as a veterinary expert.
Dr. Jane is responsible for TrilogyOnline's product formulation and development, and she consults regularly with pet industry experts to ensure our cutting-edge formulas meet the highest standards for quality and effectiveness.
Dr. Jane takes personal responsibility for every product and stands by them 1000%. Many of the other brands are manufactured by corporations and bottom line is their guide. The LA food may be a little more expensive but we feel that it is worth every penny to make sure that my babies only get the very best ingredients. The manufacturing plant only makes the food for their customers so the food is super fresh and delivered straight to your door. It doesn't sit on a store shelf or manufacting warehouse for who knows how long. With the gas prices, it is a small price to pay to have everything delivered to us personally. This way, anyone in the USA can get this food delivered to their babies.
Also, all the ingredients come from trusted American sources. Many of the commercial brands continue to get their ingredients from China even though they claim to be made here. LA is an open book and will share any information about what is in their products and where they get them. I trust my babies with all of their products without hesitation. We were customers long before i became a rep.
I would also like to share an audio from Dr. Jane with anyone that would care to listen. Here is the link:
There is also an excellent video to watch..just click on this link and then click on the littl puppy and kitten

I am fully confident that these products are completely safe. This company employs numerous safety and quality controls to ensure the highest quality products. The ingredients and foods undergo multiple tests, throughout the course of the manufacturing process.
All of the more than 5,300 recalled pet food products included contaminated ingredients imported from China. Again, none of the LA products include these contaminated ingredients. In fact, they have never used these ingredients, and they never will. The LA foods, treats and supplements include only human-quality ingredients sourced from trusted U.S. suppliers.
For a comprehensive list of recalled pet food products, we encourage you to visit the FDA’s web site at

Please know that they remain absolutely dedicated to providing products to ensure the long-term health and happiness of your furbabies.
To those that homecook or feed raw, that is wonderful if that is what you want to do. I personally wouldn't do either one since i wouldn't know if my babies were getting everything they needed nutritionally. This LA food is the best kibble we have found and we tried them all!! My girls were the pickiest eaters in the world and this kibble was their favorite of all. I feel confident that they are getting everything they need nutritionally and it is very convenient. The kibbles are small too which is perfect for our little baby's mouths. Many of the other brands were ruled out because their kibbles were too large.
I know that my girls will have the best opportunity for a long and healthy life with this food cuz i want them to live forever!!
Sorry this was so long but i wanted to make sure that everyone had the information if they wanted it. if you need more information, i'll be happy to provide anything that you need.
HUGS!!
XOXO
Love,
