Does anyone have any experience with Life's Abundance or heard any feedback?
I was choosing between that and Natural Balance when I got my dog a couple weeks ago and went with Natural Balance for the ease of purchase at PetCo. (I'd have to order Life's Abundance online.) Given the melamine issue with NB and that his stools aren't all that firm, I'm looking to switch.

I looked around on their website and can't seem to find an ingredient list other than a general on. A specific ingredient list for the specific food you want would be great to see please.

Is there really no one that's fed their dog this or heard anything about it?

Life's Abundance is sold via multi-level-marketing (kind of like Amway) - so it is only obtained from private distributors. That's all I know.

I've never used it but the ingredients look good. What is the guaranteed analysis Protein, fat, etc.? want to be sure to have enough protein for a growing pup and fat as well. Assuming this is a puppy you are talking about?

I have been feeding George Life's Abundance for about 3 months now, and so far he's doing great on it! He used to eat Blue Buffalo, but I transitioned over b/c it was too rich and gave him soft stools. Also, I find that ordering online is much more convenient than going to the store, especially since you can set up auto-shipments (i.e. 10 lb. bag every 6 weeks). The auto-shipments also provide a pretty nice discount - I think around 10% off your total order. Hope this helps.

The pooch ain't exactly a puppy - estimated at two years old - but he does need to put on some pounds as we got him really underweight.
Not less than...
crude protein 28%
crude fat 16%
Not more than...
crude fiber 4%
moisture 10%
