Is a premium dog food really worth the extra cost? Absolutely! But only if you get the right one. You see not all dog foods are alike. They don’t all have the same ingredients or the same quality of ingredients.
And most importantly, they're not all made with the same
care (we wouldn't have all the pet food recalls if they were).
Many
new dog owners think that any old dog food will do. In fact, some look
for the cheapest brand they can find. They don’t understand that there
are hidden costs associated with feeding such cheap food.
Here are a few of those hidden costs:
I'm
sure you've heard the old saying that "you are what you eat." Well
today, more and more researchers are realizing just how important good
nutrition is for maintaining our health. And, this is just as true for
our pets.
If
you want to give your dog the best chance for living a long and healthy
life, you'll make sure that he gets the best nutrition available.
Remember, you're responsible for providing all the nutrition that your
dog gets.
Great
nutrition starts with a good premium dog food. A few years ago, I went
on a search to find the best holistic dog food available. The videos on
this page are from the company that I found through my research. It's
the only pet food company that I'm comfortable recommending.
There are many factors that go into making a good premium dog food. One of the most important factors is the quality of the ingredients used to make the food. Many dog food companies use the cheapest ingredients they can buy.
These ingredients can include corn, wheat, artificial colors
and flavors, dangerous preservatives, and even the carcasses of other
euthanized pets (believe it or not).
This video discusses the kind of ingredients that should be in your holistic dog food:
Do
you know how old the dog food is that you buy from the local grocery
store or pet supply store? Because of the way dog food companies choose
to distribute their products, the dog food you buy in the store can be
as much as 12 to 18 months old.
This
is the main reason that pet food companies choose to use powerful but
dangerous preservatives. They keep their products from spoiling over the
many months they spend in the warehouse and on the shelf.
This
video shows the importance of freshness and how one company works to
provide the freshness that a premium dog food deserves:
In
2007 there was a major pet food recall in the United States. The
tainted food that caused the recalls was responsible for hundreds of pet
deaths. The list of recalled brands even in included many of the
so-called premium dog food brands.
This recall is what started me on my search for a better and safer dog food for my dogs.
This video talks about safety and how one company works to make sure that their products are safe for their customer's pets:
You may not realize that most pet foods are actually made by huge multinational companies. For these companies, making pet food is just a side business...one of the many ways that they have of making more money.
Making the very best pet food is NOT their passion.
Making
the most profit from their products, however, is their passion. How can
you trust such companies to make the best food for your pets?
This video shows how one pet food company earns the trust of its very loyal customers:
When
it comes to giving your dog the best nutrition possible, many new dog
owners (and even long-time dog owners) forget about the treats they give
their dogs. Most of the treats available today are simply junk food for
dogs. They don’t offer hardly any nutritional value at all.
Why
not use the treats you give your dog as another opportunity to give
them some great nutrition? This nutrition will help to keep them healthy
and happy for years to come.

By now, I hope you see how important it is to give your dogs the best holistic dog food that you can. As I said earlier, Life's Abundance produces are the only ones that I can recommend.
I don't know of any
other brands that can meet the quality and freshness available in these
products. But, what about the cost?
You
may be surprised to find that even with the shipping costs, the Life's
Abundance pet food costs about the same as most high-end pet foods that
you'll find in your local pet supply store.
But here are a few tips for
saving a bit of money on your purchases:
