Don’t see your brand of pet food? Here’s how to compare your brand to Life’s Abundance.
1. Get your bag of food. Look for the Ingredient Statement on the label.
2. Read the first 5 ingredients. They play a significant role in the nutritional make-up of a food.
- What are the protein sources? We
believe the primary source should come from quality animal protein, not
vegetable protein or grain. Foods that list 2 or more grains in the first 5
ingredients may have more vegetable protein than animal protein.
Life’s Abundance primary protein is chicken meal. Why? Because chicken
meat contains a certain amount of moisture; however, chicken meal is a
concentrated source of chicken protein because most of the water has been
removed. Therefore, it stands to reason that you get a greater “protein
content” in 1 pound of chicken meal versus 1 pound of chicken.
- What about grains? Two or more grains
listed in the first 5 ingredients means your food may have more vegetable
protein than animal protein. Grains such as soy, corn, corn gluten and wheat
gluten can be difficult to digest, which means less nutrition and more clean
up.
Life’s Abundance lists only 1 grain in the first five ingredients, ground
brown rice.
- Are there by-products? Some manufacturers consider by-products inferior sources of protein and, depending on the source, they can be difficult to digest.
Life’s Abundance does NOT contain by-products ingredients.
- What are the fat sources? Some fats
are better than others. We believe the primary fat source in cat food should
be animal based because animal fats contain a profile of fatty acids that
are easily metabolized and thus are generally more available to the body.
Life’s Abundance contains chicken fat.
3. Does your food contain other health-promoting ingredients, such as:
Vegetables, Beet fiber, Antioxidants, Proteinated Minerals, Bacteria cultures.
Your cat deserves the very best food. How does your food measure up?
