Plant a Dog Friendly Garden and Enjoy the Fruits of Your Labor With Fido by Your Side

Are you a gardener? I commend you if you are. Gardening can be extremely rewarding both as a pastime and in the nutritious vegetables, fruits and herbs you can grow. Growing your own garden of nutrition also saves you lots of money. It always taste better fresh from the garden!

Did you know you can plant and grow a doggie friendly garden? In this article I will give you a few tips to help you grow your dog friendly garden.

First of all you need to choose what to grow. Makes sense. Right? Growing a garden just for you requires this first step, but if you are going to make it dog friendly as well, it takes a bit more planning.

Plants high in antioxidants and safe for dogs to consume include:

• Green beans
• Berries  like cranberries, blueberries, raspberries and strawberries
• Barley grasses

Avoid growing onions and tomato plants in your back yard if Fido spends a lot of time there and if you are planning to grow a dog friendly garden.

You can also grow:

• Dandelion greens which are natural sources of Vitamins, A, C, K, D, and B.
• Rosemary is an iron-rich antioxidant
• Parsley often used to fresh breath in canine dental treats. Spring parsley can be toxic, so watch out for that. Curly-leafed parsley is okay. Life's Abundance Gourmet Dental Treats contain parsley to help freshen your dog's breath.
• Basil has antioxidant, antiviral and antimicrobial properties.

Planning your space for the garden:

• Put  a fence around the garden to keep Fido out at times he or she should be out. If you don't do this you run the risk of Fido overeating from the garden.
• No space to put a garden with a fence? Use hanging pots or containers placed on a stand where Fido cannot reach them.
• Check your type of fertilizer. Is it spray on or pelleted? Check that the active ingredients are non-toxic and follow instructions carefully.
• The mulch is something to consider the same as your fertilizer rules. Dogs can get into both mulch and fertilizer. Be sure it is all non-toxic to dogs. You really do not want your dog eating any mulch or fertilizer.

Plant, watch it grow and enjoy the fruits of your labor. You might have a conversation with your vet before adding any of the garden edibles to your dog's diet as all dogs differ.

Keep in mind the highest quality of dog food should be fed daily to  your dogs. I recommend Life's Abundance wholesome and nourishing dog foods, nutrition systems and healthy start packs.

So far as nutrition as a whole, pet owners are more than ever concerned about what their pets are really eating. This is why Life's Abundance cooks dog food in small batches with safety considerations second-to-none, which ensures pets stay happy and healthy.

If  you raise puppies, the type of food  you feed and send your puppies home on is a crucial decision. Be ahead of your competition and feed the highest quality of food you most possibly can.

And even better is to feed dog products that will give you a "return" in money to the point you end up feeding your crew for FREE. Become a Life's Abundance Rep and feed your own crew using your down line and customer's residual income.

You will end up with a customer base that will put money back into your pocket that translates into eventually getting your dog products for FREE.

Continue adding reps under you and build your residual income for a lifetime while you raise puppies. When you are no longer able to raise puppies, perform dog training sessions, groom dogs, etc., a Life's Abundance business keeps you in the dog community helping dogs to live longer and healthier lives and continues to give you a residual income to spend on vacations, unexpected expenses, help you make ends meet in retirement and more. 

If Charity work with animals is something you love to do, you also gain by using Life's Abundance products. Using the Life's Abundance products is an excellent way of "giving back" to the pet community. Charitable work is at the core of the Life's Abundance mission. Every order placed contributes to homeless animals. The work is done through the non-profit branch of Life's Abundance. 

There has never been a time in our history as it is today with technology at our fingertips to help us build 6 figure and higher incomes with a network marketing business.

Sweet Potato Dog Treats Are Healthy Treats

The delicious tasting sweet potato offers us more than good taste. Sweet potatoes are full of nutrition for humans and dogs. Finally, we find a vegetable that offers our dogs the same nutritional values as it offers us humans, I am happy to say.

Lisa's Doggie And Kitty Boutique

Sweet potatoes offer an excellent source of dietary fiber helping the digestive system function much more efficiently. Dogs and humans eating fiber on a regular basis lowers the risk of heart disease and certain types of cancers.

Sweet potatoes are low in fat and rich in Vitamins A, B6, C, calcium, potassium, and iron. Each of these benefits play a huge vital role in overall wellness.

For example:

• Vitamin A helps maintain healthy eyes, muscles, nerves and skin
• Vitamin C plays a vital role in a properly functioning immune system which helps dogs have greater resistance to disease and a better chance of recovery from injuries or illness.

Some words of caution about feeding sweet potatoes to dogs:

• Diabetic, overweight or less active dogs should eat a minimal amount of sweet potatoes. In addition, introduce sweet potatoes slowly in diabetic dogs because of the potential to create a higher glycemic index.
• Make sure the sweet potatoes you feed Fido are well cooked and the skin is removed.
• Never feed your dog a raw sweet potato. They are difficult to chew and can upset your dog's stomach plus they are a potential risk for intestinal blockage.
• As with all kinds of human food, "moderation is the key."
• Portions given depends upon dog's size, activity level and overall health. Feeding too much sweet potatoes to Fido can cause bone and muscle weakness due to excessive Vitamin A.

Feeding sweet potatoes to your dog should not be anything more than an occasional snack. Although your dog is getting a nutritious treat, there are far better ways to ensure Fido gets all the vitamins, minerals and nutrients needed. Try supplementing the diet with a vitamin such as Life's Abundance Wellness Food Supplement.

Supplementing your dog’s diet can play a crucial role in maintaining overall health. We know that some dogs require additional nutritional intake to help them maintain a healthy body, due to age, breed, environment and other factors. Based on this premise, our holistic veterinarian has formulated the perfect complement to your dog’s daily diet. Life’s Abundance Wellness Food Supplement for Dogs is formulated with a broad array of naturally nutritious ingredients from real food to help maintain overall health. The nutrients contained in this superior supplement are sourced from foods, chicken liver, cranberries, carrots, eggs, pineapples and many others.

 This chewable tablet includes the following nutritious ingredients:

• Chicken liver, which is rich in vitamin A and D, protein and selenium.
• Natural vitamin E, which is an antioxidant.
• Taurine, which is an essential amino acid.
• Cranberries, a rich source of vitamin C, dietary fiber and manganese.
• Carrots, a rich source of beta-carotene (vitamin A), vitamins C, D, and E, riboflavin, niacin, calcium, potassium, phosphorus, sodium and iron.
• Dried egg, one of nature's most nutrient-dense foods, plays an important role in a balanced diet. Eggs are considered a complete protein source, providing essential amino acids, vitamins and minerals (vitamins A, B, E, biotin, and sulfur). Eggs also provide healthy fats, such as omega-6 for healthy skin and a glossy coat.
• Ground Flaxseed is a rich plant source of antioxidant lignans and omega-3 fatty. Flaxseed meal also has a very high level of protein and essential amino acids. In addition, flaxseed meal contains significant amounts of fiber, vitamin E, folic acid, riboflavin, niacin, vitamin B6 and is extremely rich in the minerals potassium, calcium and phosphorus.
• Direct-fed microbials, ingredients similar to those found in supermarket yogurts.
• Ester-C*, a unique and patented form of vitamin C (calcium ascorbate).
• Tomato pomace, a good source of lycopene and vitamin C.
• Alfalfa meal, which is a good source of protein, vitamin A, niacin and calcium, and a very good source of dietary fiber, vitamin C, thiamin, riboflavin, folate, pantothenic acid, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, zinc, copper and manganese.
• Pineapple, which is a good source of enzymes, vitamins, minerals and fiber.

Like all of our superior-quality canine supplements, these delicious compressed tablets are scored in-half for easy splitting. And with a tantalizing liver flavor, your dog will be doing the happy dance when it comes time for his or her supplement!

Olives Taste Great on Pizzas and in Salads, but Avoid Feeding them to Your Dog

Some people cannot eat a salad without adding on the olives. Olives live within the fruit family of foods. If you are wondering whether or not Fido can have an olive or two from your salad, the answer is olives are NOT toxic to dogs and can be safely fed to your dog in small amounts.

Olives are nutritious for humans as they contain many vitamins and minerals. Fido does not derive the same kind of health benefits from eating olives. For one thing they can only be fed in small amounts to a dog. Plain, unsalted olives can be a safe snack for your dog or pup, but if you are looking to gain nutritional value, there is none. Too many olives can add unnecessary calories to your dog's diet.

Olive pits may pose a choking or obstructions hazard for dogs. They can block airways and get lodged in the dog's digestive tract. Pits may also crack the dog's teeth as they try to chew them up.

An olive or two from your salad or pizza will not hurt your dog. Just don't give them olives on a regular basis. They are not the best snack or treat for a dog. There are far more nutritious snacks and treats you can give your dog without worry of harm.

I recommend keeping on hand dog treats full of nutrition such as the Life's Abundance Antioxidant Health Bars:

Millions of Americans eat health bars every day. They are a convenient and tasty way to supplement the diet with good nutrition. And the perfect health snack for your furry friend. 

Packed with premium ingredients, Antioxidant Health Bars are a nutritious way to reward your sweet pup and boost his or her health. Featuring the great taste of apples, peanut butter and honey, dogs just can’t resist these delicious bars, which also include oatmeal, brown rice, ground flaxseed, dates, rolled oats, flaxseed oil, eggs, cranberries and carrots. Since antioxidants are so important to maintaining a healthy immune system, we’ve added a hefty helping of vitamin E, vitamin C and beta-carotene. 

And the amounts of these important nutrients are guaranteed on the label, so you know exactly how much nutrition your dog is receiving on a daily basis. 

In a market overwhelmed by nutritionally inadequate dog treats, Antioxidant Health Bars are the healthy alternative for canines.

If  you raise puppies, the type of food  you feed and send your puppies home on is a crucial decision. Be ahead of your competition and develop a reputation of feeding the highest quality of food you most possibly can. We no longer have to rely on commercial dog foods prepared in large quantities and stockpiled. We can feed our pets fresh food everyday.

Marshmallow Treats For Fido: Very Bad and Here is Why

I bet you reading this article "likes" marshmallows. Marshmallows are one of those versatile sweets that ends up in a variety of recipes from drinks to desert to main dishes. If you are one who likes eating marshmallows straight from the bag while sitting watching T.V. or playing games, Fido is probably somewhere nearby wanting to share your marshmallows. Is it safe to let your dogs eat marshmallow treats?

The answer is NO. Some marshmallows may even be toxic. They are surely not good for Fido as they are full of sugar, corn syrup, and made from gelatin and vanilla extract, then coated with either cornstarch or confectioner's sugar. Don't feed Fido marshmallow treats. Very bad! They have absolutely no nutritional value for your dog.  

In the case that your dog eats marshmallows by mistake or accident, call your vet immediately. He will most likely advise you induce vomiting if the accident happened within the last couple of hours.

Feeding your dog any kind of treat high is sugar is never a good idea. Even treats made especially for dogs can be in high in sugar. Read the labels before purchasing.

Ideally everything you feed your dog should be of high nutritional value. If your dog has a weight problem try feeding Life's Abundance Wholesome Hearts Low-Fat Treats.

Wholesome Hearts are delicious, low-fat dog treats. They are perfect for dogs that could stand to shed a few pounds and the rich flavor and delicate aromatic spices make them simply irresistible.

• Proudly made in the USA with high-quality American ingredients.
• No corn, wheat or soy and their glutens.
• No artificial colors and no artificial flavors.
• Fortified with L-Carnitine to help the body utilize fat.
• Contains multi-grains, fruits and vegetables.
• With chicken meal, eggs and other wholesome ingredients.
• Gently baked, heart-shaped treats with a “just from the oven” flavor.

If  you raise puppies, the type of food  you feed and send your puppies home on is a crucial decision. Be ahead of your competition and develop a reputation of feeding the highest quality of food you most possibly can. We no longer have to rely on commercial dog foods prepared in large quantities and stockpiled. We can feed our pets fresh food everyday.

And even better is to feed dog products that will give you a "return" in money to the point you end up feeding your crew for FREE. Become a Life's Abundance Rep and feed your own crew using your down line and customer's residual income.

Humans Used to Feed Dogs Some of the Most Gross Kinds of Stuff

It is no wonder people today still think feeding human food to their dogs is just as nutritious as it is for human consumption. Animal Science and dedicated people to animals has brought us a long way from the days in which there really was nothing else to feed our dogs except staples from our own kitchen. In this article, read about some of the odd things people probably had no other choice but to feed their dogs in our past.

It really is no surprise that we turn to our pets for more nutritious diets as we humans are becoming more and more educated about healthy diets. We want the same thing for our pets - a healthy daily diet - so our pets can live longer, happier, and healthier lives.

Life's Abundance is one of those companies who realize "fresh food" is always higher in nutritional value. This is why they have a solid reputation for cooking their dog foods in small batches with safety considerations second-to-none ensuring your pet's food arrives on your doorstep as fresh as possible. Once you place an order with Life's Abundance, you can count on that order being on your doorstep within 3 business days.

The poor, poor street dogs of yesterday in port cities often hung out by the docks to eat the moldy hardtack thrown away by sailors. Isn't that just awful to think about?

The hardtack biscuit was made from flour, water, and sometimes salt might not sound like much to you right now, but fact is this biscuit became an inspiration for commercial dog food. 

James Spratt, an entrepreneur (and it took an entrepreneur to realize this) from Ohio saw the London dogs devouring these biscuits on a pier. He immediately saw an untapped market place and rapidly developed a dog food product relying on grains and carbohydrates acting as fillers, which made the product more affordable to produce in large quantities plus made it easier for busy dog owners to feed their dogs and pups. As we well know today, this product hardly provided a balanced diet and of course it was never "fresh food" as it was prepared in large batches.

Many people and cultures all around the world fed their dogs and pups leftover bread. Some people in the Victorian era were afraid to feed their dogs meat for fear it would revert dogs back to their wild state of being and undesirable wolf-like instincts.

Many dog food companies today still rely on cheap ingredients instead of nutritious ingredients like corn, wheat, barley, oats, rice (most common grains used in dog foods) along with potatoes and sweet potatoes. It is true that carbohydrates are an important part of a balanced canine diet. A lot of dog food companies rely on these inexpensive carbohydrates as fillers instead of a blend of "more expensive" fresh ingredients like vegetables, fruits and meat to provide optimum nutrition for your dogs. 

Once again, I have to stress here why some dog food is more expensive than other dog foods and that is because of the more careful ways it is prepared and the most nutritious and expensive ingredients use. Life's Abundance is one of the companies who has realized preparation and ingredients are main components of developing more nutritious dog food for our pets. After all, pets live way too short of a lifespan with us. It is heartbreaking to lose one even when we have five others on board with us. When you feed a high quality diet, you can expect a longer life span, that is, if there is no underlying genetic problems.

More than this, Life's Abundance provides a way for every pet owner to feed more expensive food to their pets and that is through their network marketing opportunity offer. Once you start adding customers and reps to your down line, you have the luxury of feeding a very high quality food to your own crew of pets and using your down line income to pay for it all.

In medieval times, royal kennel owners prepared their dog's nutritious stews full of vegetables, fruits, grains and meats. The dogs owned by more common folks of the land were not so lucky. Peasant dogs ate peasant food in Europe and this consisted largely of potatoes and boiled cabbage. 

Just look at the stews Life's Abundance offers us today for our beloved pets. They will feel as though they are "royal pets" when you feed them treats or even as their main meal one of the soft canned foods prepared by Life's Abundance. Feast your eyes upon this dish, Chicken and Crab Meat Stew. This is a meal fit for a king's pet!

Horse meat was also added to early commercial dog food. Today, chicken and beef are the most common meats used in kibble, though venison, fish, lamb, pork, rabbit, and turkey options are also available.

Life's Abundance makes a delicious Pork and Venison Meal for dogs:

Even the most hard-to-please dog will savor the robust flavors that this grain free recipe offers. And you’ll feel good knowing that this limited ingredient meal is easy on sensitive stomachs and features exceptionally delicious protein from pork and venison, plus healthy carbohydrates and dietary fiber from nutritious lentils and peas. 

With wholesome ingredients, an irresistible texture and more protein than our other canned dog foods, this nutritionally complete recipe can be served as your pup’s sole diet or as an appetite-inspiring topper for our premium kibble. It’s also a tasty topper for pregnant moms over the course of gestation and new moms during lactation. Plus, the blended loaf is easy to consume for weaning puppies and dogs with dental issues. Every serving of this premium canned food contains optimal amounts of added vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and omega fatty acids, all to help maintain a healthy, happy pup! 

If you’re ready to take a fresh approach to your dog’s diet, Pork & Venison Grain Free Recipe is sure to fit the bill and fulfill your dog’s cravings. 

Stop chasing your tail for a better diet. Provide your dog with a meal that will be relished with gusto!

If  you raise puppies, the type of food  you feed and send your puppies home on is a crucial decision. Be ahead of your competition and develop a reputation of feeding the highest quality of food you most possibly can. We no longer have to rely on commercial dog foods prepared in large quantities and stockpiled. We can feed our pets fresh food everyday.

And even better is to feed dog products that will give you a "return" in money to the point you end up feeding your crew for FREE. Become a Life's Abundance Rep and feed your own crew using your down line and customer's residual income.
