Tips On Choosing A Food
When choosing food, the price on the bag, while important, is
usually not the best indication for your dog.
Low prices may indicate inexpensive
ingredients, or ingredients
that change as market prices fluctuate. In addition, many
lower-priced products have Higher daily portions to provide
the same amount of nutrition found in a high-quality diet.
To get a better representation of cost, it is the cost per
day’s feeding, not the total cost, that counts.
Premium foods typically contain higher quality ingredients than
standard foods. Because higher quality ingredients are used (more
real meat, etc.) the foods are more nutrient-dense, which means they
contain higher percentages of protein and fat so your pet eats
less to obtain the same nutrition.
In addition, premium foods tend to contain natural additives
(natural preservatives like Vitamin E) and avoid the use of
artificial colors and flavors.
Many perceive premium foods to be healthier due to the use of
natural additives. Premium foods also feature high quality
carbohydrate sources like rice, one of the most digestible grains.
Due to the nutrient density and quality of ingredients, the
average premium food is More Digestable than the average standard
food. This results in less backyard clean up for you.
Since the ingredients are of higher quality, the cost of premium
foods tends to be higher on a per pound basis. However the fact
that they are of higher nutrient density and digestibility means the
amount of food fed is less, so while overall feeding costs are
higher it's not as much as you may think.
Actual feeding amounts for your dog will depend on age, activity,
size, environment and body metabolism and is best determined by the
owner observing the dog's body condition.

What Should You Feed Your Dog?
Tippy is one happy and healthy dog!
She didn't used to be. Tippy's owner used to feed her the
cheapest food he could find....Boo!!!.... Growl, Growl!!
Poor Tippy.....
Tippy got sick, real sick. And Tippy required some major
veterinary aid to get her well again...and it cost Tippy's owner
about $1400 to do it.
Tippy's owner then got smart.
He did some serious research and found out some astonishing
things. He found out what some of the big pet food companies
really put in their pet foods.
It was sick!
Really quickly he put Tippy on the Life's Abundance Daily
Nutritional System.
What a difference!!!
Tippy Became Like
A New Dog!
It was totally amazing.
Tippy is now 12 years young and has the energy levels of most
dogs half her age. She used to love to chase the cows, but
became so lethargic and didn't have much energy, the cows were
starting to make fun of her.
Not any more!
Now the cows respect her cause Tippy is one bundle of energy
and she keeps those cows off the fences and in the pasture
where they belong.
Tippy says.....Please get your precious canine friend on the
Life's Abundance Daily Nutritional System, she guarantees
you will see a major difference in your dog's health and energy.
