 Dr.
Jane Bicks, DVM
HealthyPetNet Veterinarian Formulator
For years I’ve been working to persuade countless people to
recognize one simple notion – that nutrition is the foundation of
life. In my years at HealthyPetNet, I’ve done my utmost to formulate
foods and treats that help to establish and maintain this important
foundation. Our companion animals depend on us to provide
much-needed proteins, fats, vitamins, minerals and other crucial
nutrients – to help them grow when they are young and to maintain
health through their hopefully long adult years.
Many pet foods are made based upon formulas that, at least on paper,
fulfill the generally accepted nutritional requirements, which are
then labeled “complete” or “balanced diets”. As a veterinarian, my
nutritional philosophy differs from that of most pet food
manufacturers.
Over the years I’ve seen hundreds of undernourished puppies and
kittens, whose ears, skin and intestinal tracts are in various
stages of decline. I’ve also witnessed them respond positively to
increased consumption of nutrients and whole foods, having the
effect of improving their health and shoring up their immune
systems. I’ve also seen far too many middle-aged cats and dogs on
these diets pass general examinations but lack energy, have dull
eyes, are disagreeable, experience urinary tract issues, suffer with
skin and coat conditions. I know from these professional experiences
that for a food to be truly nutritional, it must be formulated based
upon different standards. These higher standards must take into
account the actual physiology of dogs and cats in addition to
accepted nutritional requirements.
Dogs and cats are complex organisms. At
HealthyPetNet, we believe that a pet’s food must address all the
many aspects of their bodies and chemistries. That’s why we’ve
included such a broad spectrum of nutrients – every ingredient in
Life’s Abundance is selected to enhance specific parts of the body.
The resulting balance of ingredients is combined in a very
particular way, which becomes our holistic formula -- each
ingredient working with the others to fulfill the needs of every dog
and cat.
And believe me, there are many needs to fill! For example, some dogs
have skin problems and others do not. It is heartbreaking to see a
dog, or cat, scratch excessively and bite, further damaging their
skin.
When formulating
Life’s
Abundance, I selected ingredients to support all of the
important bodily structures and functions. However, I would like to
touch on skin and coat health since biting and scratching are among
the top reasons pet parents take their companion animals to the vet.
Protein is crucial – especially for puppies and seniors – so I
selected highly-digestible, superior-quality proteins, putting in
exactly the amounts that both young and old require for optimal skin
and coat health. We also added flaxseed meal because it includes
proteins that meats don’t have and antioxidants which the skin needs
for optimal health. Not only that, but flaxseed meal contains a nice
mixture of B vitamins and oil. We added Omega-3 fatty acids (from
fish oil), as numerous studies have shown it’s essential to skin
health. As well as addressing the direct requirements of skin and
coat, we included ingredients to help enhance the immune system, a
must for the healthiest possible skin. Life’s Abundance has numerous
vegetables because they contain a wide array of antioxidants.
Special easily-absorbed minerals were also added because minerals
work to improve the effectiveness of antioxidants (skin just loves
zinc). And since one of the largest immune organs is located in the
gut (GALT), several ingredients were selected to provide nourishment
for this important immune organ.
I hope that you can see the importance of building a food based on
the physiology of our precious companions. I truly believe that
Life’s
Abundance represents the ultimate holistic pet food, with all
the ingredients necessary to help companion animals live long,
healthy and happy lives.
For all of you already feeding
Life’s
Abundance, I thank you for being responsible pet parents, and
for being agents of positive change in the lives of your companion
animals.
Warmest wishes,
Dr. Jane Bicks
