| It's long but when you have time, it is worth watching. There were a few surprises in it for me. I'm off to re-read my dog food labels.

| Pet Food Most of us don't think about the fact that our pet's food is manufactured in huge batches and it sits in warehouses or trailers that are not climate controlled sometimes for months. My Yorkie (Monty) aka the "Yorkshire Terrorist" was always energetic until about a year ago when he became very lathargic. We spent $$$$ running all the tests our vet could think of and there wasn't anything he could find to cause his health to deterierate. He recommended we change foods. I came across Life's Abundance and decided to give it a try. Reading the ingredients I could tell it was a better food than the Nutro we were feeding and the fact that they cook frequently in small batches so that it is always fresh when you receive it sold me. We started noticing a difference in Monty after about 2-1/2 to 3 weeks. His head is up, his tail is wagging and he stands on his hind legs at my chair when it's time for "Specials" (healthy treats). We can't use the "T" word anymore, they know that one now. I have my buddy back. We have also noticed a big difference in his coat. |

| OMG!!! Who knew??? i have been sitting here with a 20 pound bag of dog food in my lap for the last twenty minutes comparing labels and i am relieved that my dog food measures up. i am feeding whiskey chicken soup for the puppy lover's soul dog food mixed with missing link so so far so good!!! i might try the sample pack of that food but it seems like it has the same ingredients in it as my dog food.

I Love My Lil' Punkin's Donating Member | Life's Abundance Pet Food WOW - Life's Abundance is priced really good IMO. Only about $2 more for the smallest bag like I buy, and actually the Life's Abundance smallest bag is 2lbs BIGGER! Of course there is the shipping, which is $7 to where I am, but it sure does sound like a great quality food Thanks SO MUCH for posting this!

| I didn't even have to watch the video to know that I'm probably feeding Ferdinand something bad even though it's a "good" brand. I did the food comparison and made my order of food of Life's Abundance. That's really cool that you can set it up to automatically re-ship every ___ weeks. I set mine at every 8 weeks. Thanks so much for sharing this with us. I've been looking for a better food for my pup for a few weeks... now I don't even have to leave my house to get it!

| pet food I have always feed my pet Pro-Plan dry pet food with zero problems. I have gotten a lot of compliments about how good my animals look. My golden is eight years old and does not have a single white or gray hair on his body. My vet. like Pro-plan, too. My little yorkie pup, Cozy, stopped eating the puppy food the breeder had her on the day after I brought her home and started eating the Golden's kibble and has not looked back since. The vet. said it was fine for her not to eat "puppy" food as long as she was eating the right amount of her size. I also do give my dogs some people food like eggs, chicken, and beef. No junk food. |
