The company has received no reports of illness in either people or animals associated with this product. The recalled product is distributed nationwide to distributors, retail stores, internet retailers and directly to consumers, and can be identified by the batch ID code 6 14 12 located on the white hang tag attached to the bottom of the plastic film tube. Pet owners should return unopened frozen tubes of food to the store where purchased for a full refund. Pet owners should dispose of opened tubes of product in a safe manner (example, a securely covered trash receptacle) and return the washed plastic batch ID tag to the store where purchased for a full refund. Salmonella can affect animals eating the products and there is risk to humans from handling contaminated pet products, especially if they have not thoroughly washed their hands after having contact with the products or any surfaces exposed to these products. Healthy people infected with Salmonella should monitor themselves for some or all of the following symptoms: nausea, vomiting, diarrhea or bloody diarrhea, abdominal cramping and fever. Rarely, Salmonella can result in more serious ailments, including arterial infections, endocarditis, arthritis, muscle pain, eye irritation, and urinary tract symptoms. Consumers exhibiting these signs after having contact with this product should contact their healthcare providers. Pets with Salmonella infections may be lethargic and have diarrhea or bloody diarrhea, fever, and vomiting. Some pets will have only decreased appetite, fever and abdominal pain. Infected but otherwise healthy pets can be carriers and infect other animals or humans. If your pet has consumed the recalled product and has these symptoms, please contact your veterinarian.

Life's Abundance - Customer Testimonial

Hi Lori: Thank you for your quick response back to me, regarding my address change. I have been so happy with Life Abundance kitten and cat food for my Nilla, Nilla is a 9 year old Rag Doll who developed IBS (per her vet). Her Vet introduced her to a cat food of theirs and it was working but was very expensive. I found a link to Lifes Abundance via my puppys breeder and ordered a bag, when I received the bag it was bigger than I expected and half the price of a smaller bag that the Vet was selling me. It has been two weeks and I have noticed a huge difference in Nillas appearance, she is not vomiting as much any more and she has lost the rash on her body. She has become again healthy and happy again. Attached is my beautiful Nilla.

I sent Nilla's pic to you in another format, hopefully you receive it. I took this pic. yesterday, she used to have red spots on her temples and scabs on her skin. She now is the picture of health and getting better everyday. Thank you Sandy Suslavich

Who is Brian Smith? What is the Slow Pull Retractable Leash?

Brian Smith Slow Pull Retractable Dog Leashes | Orlando, Florida Growing up in Rockledge, Florida, Brian Smith knew at a very early age that he had a love for inventing. “When I was four, I wanted to invent a device that could be attached to our rocking chair so it could rock by itself,” Brian said. Graduating from the University of Central Florida with a B.A. in Legal Studies, Brian went on to launch a career in real estate sales, not knowing that an unexpected chain of events would hoist him back into the love of inventing he enjoyed as a child. Just a few days before his wedding, Brian was walking his dog while talking on his cell phone. Distracted by the phone call, he’d hardly noticed when his pet spotted another dog in the distance and took off running after it. With Brian hanging on to his pup’s retractable leash, the dog reached the end of the lead, sending a harsh tug through Brian’s already injured shoulder. While, fortunately, his shoulder was not dislocated, Brian continued to experience pain throughout his wedding and honeymoon. He quickly realized how dangerous retractable leashes could be and decided to seek out a solution. He began researching both online and in pet stores where he learned that not only had over 16,000 people been hospitalized the previous year from retractable leashes, but that there weren’t currently any solutions on the market; that’s when he decided to create one himself. Brian had seen Everyday Edisons in the past, so he jumped at the chance to audition, seeing it as an opportunity to get his product to market without the obstacles that come with trying to do it alone. Brian currently resides in Orlando, Fla. with his wife and the two dogs to whom he credits his invention. When he’s not inventing, he enjoys reading, traveling and watching educational TV programs. “Do your homework thoroughly before pursuing an idea you may have and be very patient.” Slow Pull Retractable Leashes will be sold thru Doggies Unlimited @ www.doggiesunlimited.com, Life's Healthy Pet Food @ www.lifeshealthypetfood.com and Slow Pull Retractable Leashes @ www.slowpullretractableleashes.com.

Life's Abundance Testimonials

What Are They Saying about Life's Abundance Healthy Pet Foods
Dear Dr. Jane Bicks and company, I just wanted to tell you of the transformation of my dog. We decided to switch after being convinced by my brother who had recently adopted a boxer and wanted the best food for his puppy. So, we decided to order a med size bag (of Life's Abundance Premium Health Food for Puppies & Adult Dogs) and see how it went. He definitely liked the food and even in the transition there wasn't any diarrhea or any potty problems. After about a week, you could see a difference in his coat. What was once dull and lack luster, had a sheen and a softness that just made you want to pet!! Then the pads of his feet began to change...softer, almost as if someone had put lotion on them! The shedding stopped! So did the itching!! Thank you all for all of your hard work and efforts to make a dog food that is healthy for peoples' animals. I joke that my dogs probably eat better than I do!! Maybe you could get into health foods for people too! Cindy S., Illinois Customer since July 2006
Hi Dr. Bicks, I wanted to let you know that since putting our 2... 12-yr-old labs on LA (Life's Abundance Premium Health Food for Puppies & Adult Dogs) 2 years ago, they are doing fabulous! I have never seem them look and feel so good! Their energy levels, coats, and overall health are great. They look and act younger now than they did years ago. The food and supplements are fantastic. Just wanted to let you know that! Sincerely, Nancy B., New York Customer since September 2007

Hello, I just wanted to comment on your dog food (Life's Abundance Premium Health Food for Puppies & Adult Dogs)! Years ago, my sister was a distributor of this food, well she had to quit. I had forgotten about your products until I was researching for a better and safer product for my little "girls" (Boston Terrier's) because of the awful poisoning of the dog foods...so I came across your website, once again. I have to say, I am sooo excited from seeing and being a witness to what ever ingredients you have in there, it has made my oldest BT act like a pup again. She has always been "lathargic, lazy, kick-back, passive" until I started feeding her your dog food! We could see the difference in as little as 2 days! I was totally impressed! I was sooo impressed with the results, I turned one of my friends on to it, so now she is buying it for her BT...her terrier absolutely loves it too! So anyways, THANK YOU for sacrificing many long hours into making this a HEALTHY food for our little girls! I pray that God continues to bless your business with success! Warmly, Becky S., Missouri Customer since May 2007

Thank you, thank you, thank you. I just ordered my second bag of Life's Abundance (Premium Health Food for Puppies & Adult Dogs) and feel such a great relief from worrying about what food is the best for my beautiful labs. The recall scared me to death and because of it I researched all dog food to find the best. Life's Abundance is the best, my dogs look better and feel better. My five year old is running around like he is two again. And his eyes are not running anymore and he isn't rubbing his face and the rug anymore. He would itch so much he rubbed his face till it bled. But not anymore. I have great confidence in the food I feed them now, and they are so much happier and healthier. Thank you so very much for your great product and for caring about our pets and my peace of mind. Sincerely, Cheryl P., New York Customer since March 2007

Just wanted to let you know that even though I've only purchased Life's Abundance (Premium Health Food for Puppies & Adult Dogs) a few weeks ago, my dogs have shown a remarkable improvement! No more allergies! I guess this is one good thing that came about from the recent pet food recall! Thank you so much for helping to improve the lifespan of my pets! Shelley B., Nevada Customer since April 2007

Thank you for being the best pet food on the market... John S., Florida Customer since January 2002

It’s true! Clean Pets Really are Healthier

Time To Focus on Pet Health! By age two, most dogs have already reached adulthood. By the time they reach four, they’re middle-aged. By age seven, many dogs have already entered their senior years. Yes, a dog’s life is short. That’s why we should do whatever we can to make the most of the time we have with our faithful friend. Now is the perfect time to remind yourself that keeping your pet clean can protect him from a variety of nasty things that could pose a health risk and quite possibly even shorten his already limited life. 5 Reason's to Keep Your Pet Clean 1. Bathing is good preventive medicine Bath time is a perfect opportunity to get a close overall look at your pet to see if there is anything unusual going on. Fleas, ticks, irritated skin, scratches or wounds, areas of hair loss and toe nails in need of trimming are just some of the things that might be uncovered during a bath. When the hair is wet, it parts easily and lays flat on the skin bringing things to light that may have been hiding in your pet’s hair. This is a good time to run your hands over your pet’s entire body to check for any lumps, bumps or sensitive areas. 2. A clean coat is less allergenic A pet's coat can act like a dust mop, picking up the pollen and dust from the air and ground. If your pet is allergic to pollen and dust, frequent shampooing can help minimize their symptoms and improve their comfort by removing the offenders that cause itchy, reddened skin, irritated noses and watering eyes. If you suffer from airborne allergies, keeping your pet’s coat clean can help to control your symptoms too! 3. It makes your pet huggably fresh We spend a lot of time with our furry friend. A sweet-smelling, freshly bathed pet is simply more huggable. We've all had times when we would like to be close or hold our pet and obnoxious odors got in the way. A common source of pet odor is the buildup of pungent waxes and oils secreted by glands at the base of each hair. Also, naturally occurring yeast and bacteria living on the skin, and odors picked up by contact during play can contribute to their foul scent. Regular shampooing and cleaning can keep these odors at bay. 4. Clean pets are more beautiful A nice, clean, fluffy coat looks good on any pet. Shampooing, followed by combing, brushing and blow drying will give your pet a full, lively looking coat while preventing uncomfortable tangles from forming. Pets know when they look good, too! Just watch how alert and lively they become when you tell them how pretty and handsome they are! 5. A good bath makes your pet feel good Just as we often feel fresh and revived after a nice shower or bath, pets do too. Clean skin can lift your pet’s spirits and give them some added energy. Shampoo needs contact time to dissolve oils and neutralize odors on the skin, so giving your pet a gentle massage during the bath is a great way to work the shampoo through the coat while relaxing your pet. Massaging can help improve skin circulation and health, relax tense muscles and positively enhance your pet’s mood. Closing Thoughts Make a commitment to regularly shampoo your pet. Bathing and shampooing has benefits beyond cleaning a soiled coat. It can be a relaxing yet invigorating experience. You are helping to keep skin troubles at bay while promoting your pet's health and strengthening your bond!
