Did you know it goes beyond the first 5 ingredients?

"The secret to superior pet food lies in the formula itself – not only in the ingredients, but also in the proportions of those ingredients to each other. While many cat foods may meet technical standards for dietary requirements, some pet food manufactures cut corners on their ingredients, which affects the quality of the overall formula. To help you choose the best food for your dear companion, we've identified eight crucial measures upon which all cat foods can be judged. Keep in mind that the food you choose should score well in every category, as does Life’s Abundance Premium Health Food for Kittens and Adult Cats. Remember, your cat deserves nothing less than the very best."

Don’t see your brand of pet food? Here’s how to compare your brand to Life’s Abundance Premium Cat Food.

1. Get your bag of food. Look for the Ingredient Label.

2. Read the first 5 ingredients. They play a significant role in the nutritional make-up of a food but the finished product is more important than the sum of its parts

While the top five ingredients of a given cat food provide the consumer with insight into the nutritional priorities of a pet food maker, they don’t tell the whole story. Every ingredient plays a critical part, which is why we provide a comparison based upon eight different quantitative measures. Furthermore, the secret to superior pet food lies in the formula itself – not only in the ingredients, but also in the proportions of those ingredients to one another.

The significance of the ratios cannot be understated. Our long-time pet food formulator, Dr. Jane Bicks, stresses the importance of synergism, or the interaction of ingredients, because the proper proportions help to maximize the nutritional impact of a formula. As with any recipe, if you use the wrong ratios, you will get very different results.

With quality ingredients working synergistically with one another, you can be certain that you’re providing the very best for your companion animal.

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 Natural Cat Food 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.

Lifes 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.

Lifes Abundance Quality Cat Food 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 Cat Food 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?
