What You Won’t Find in the Bowl
In line with their commitment to purity, Life’s Abundance intentionally excludes certain ingredients from this recipe:
- No artificial flavors or colors
- No corn or corn gluten
- No wheat or wheat gluten
This meticulous attention to ingredient selection underscores the brand’s serious approach to pet nutrition and product safety, ensuring that pet owners receive the premium products they expect.
High-Quality Proteins for Essential Bodily Functions
Protein is fundamental to all bodily functions, including those of the brain, heart, muscles, and skeleton. This healthy dog food recipe is enriched with high-quality, multi-source proteins.
- Chicken Meal: As the first ingredient, chicken meal is a concentrated source of protein. Unlike whole chicken or chicken parts, which contain a significant amount of water, chicken meal has had most of the water removed, making it a more potent protein source per pound.
- Eggs: Recognized as a complete protein source, eggs provide essential amino acids, vitamins, and minerals. They also contribute healthy fats, such as omega-6, which are beneficial for skin health and coat gloss.
The Firmtastic Fiber System for Gut Health
- Prebiotic Fiber: This type of fiber nourishes beneficial bacteria in the dog’s stomach, and research indicates that optimal health begins in the gut. Life’s Abundance’s proprietary blend strengthens, diversifies, and enhances the effectiveness of these good bacteria. This custom formula is specifically tailored to work synergistically with the probiotic strains found in their dog foods, maximizing benefits for digestion and overall well-being. The positive effects are often visible in a dog’s healthy coat, bright eyes, and, notably, their stool quality. Read more about Firmtastic.
- Guaranteed Probiotics: Probiotics play a crucial role in a dog’s digestion, aiding in the production and absorption of vitamins and minerals, as well as the development and maintenance of a robust immune system. Three of the four probiotic strains in this food are specifically formulated for dogs, targeting optimal canine health. The quantity of these health-promoting probiotics is guaranteed in every formula, ensuring your dog receives tangible benefits with every satisfying bite.
The Antioxidant System for Cellular Protection
While canines naturally produce antioxidants, the amount is limited. This emphasizes the critical importance of dietary antioxidants. Life’s Abundance healthy dog food includes a comprehensive antioxidant system, featuring guaranteed levels of vitamins C and E. Additionally, the inclusion of blueberries, renowned for their potent antioxidant properties, further enhances this protective system.
Healthy Fats for Skin, Coat, and Overall Wellness
- Chicken Fat: Animal-based fat sources are significant for canine nutrition, providing nutrients not readily available from vegetable sources. It’s important to ensure these fats are species-specific, like “chicken fat” rather than generic “animal fat.”
- Omega-3 Fatty Acids: The benefits of essential fatty acids, particularly omega-3s, are extensively researched. The guaranteed amount of omega-3s in Life’s Abundance premium kibble actively supports healthy skin, promotes a shiny coat, and contributes to overall wellness.
- Other Healthy Fats: The inclusion of flaxseed meal and eggs further enriches the food with beneficial healthy fats.
The Nutritional Power of Grains
Whole grains are a valuable source of protein, fiber, B vitamins, iron, zinc, and other essential minerals. They also provide the complex carbohydrates necessary for sustained energy release in dogs.
- Ground Brown Rice: This whole grain, with only the inedible outer husk removed, retains its rich profile of seven minerals and five B vitamins.
- Oat Groats: Processed through cleaning, toasting, and hulling, oat groats retain nearly all their original nutrients. They also offer a good source of seven minerals and five B vitamins.
