Frequently Asked Questions about Life's Abundance
1) Why did you choose Life's Abundance for your miniature schnauzers? When we first had miniature schnauzers, we fed them a blend of Purina Complete and food from a local feed mill. We never experienced any problems on the food. However, as we met more families and breeders with mini schnauzers, we heard several times that mini schnauzers are prone to being overweight and developing diabetes. We began to be concerned about the long-term effects of the food we were feeding due to the high corn content.
At the suggestion of two reputable breeders with years of experience with mini schnauzers, we tried food from Life's Abundance. We noticed immediately that are dogs LOVED the food - never a crumb left in their bowls. We also realized we had to feed a lot less than our former food because it is packed with nutrition. We also noticed their was less waste in our yard. Most importantly, we felt good about the nutrition our dogs were getting for their long-term health. We appreciate how Life's Abundance creates their food in small batches in the USA, ships it to climate-controlled warehouses, and then right to our door! The food is only about 4-6 weeks old when we receive it!
2) Is their dog food grain free? Life's Abundance offers grain-free dog food and several other dog food made with healthy grains only, such as ground brown rice and oat groats. Their foods do not include fillers such as corn or wheat glutens.
3) What food do you feed your miniature schnauzers? We feed the "All Stage Dog Food" to all our adult dogs. We start our puppies on "Small/Medium Breed Puppy Food." You can switch your puppy at any time to the All Stage Food.
4) Where can I buy Life's Abundance? Life's Abundance products cannot be purchased in stores. It can be purchased online and will be delivered to your door. Batches of Life’s Abundance dry foods are produced in limited runs on a weekly basis, minimizing periods of storage and helping them to deliver the freshest-possible product to your front door generally within four to six weeks of being made.
5) What Life's Abundances products do you use on your dogs? See our recommended products here. These are products we use & love. There are many more great products available from Life's Abundance, but these are our personal favorites.
6) What should I have on hand when I bring my puppy home? We recommend purchasing their Small & Medium breed healthy start pack. This allows you to try out their food, shampoo, mist, ear care, treats, and chewing sticks for a package deal.
7) How long have they been in business? They have been in business since 1998. Read their history here.
8) I have an adult dog in addition to my new puppy. Can I feed them the same food? With Life's Abundance food, yes! We start our puppies on the Small & Medium breed puppy food, but you can switch at any time to the All Stages food, which means both your little puppy and your adult dog can eat the same food! We think about it this way - when you are introducing a baby to solid foods, he or she can eat what the rest of the family eats, if the family is eating healthy foods. (For a human baby, the food needs to be purred to be safe, but it can be the same food.) We feel the All Stages food is nutritious enough for a puppy and an adult, as well as our expectant and nursing girls here at Russell Homestead.
9) Their dog food is more expensive than what I feed now. Should I switch? At first glance, their price may appear higher than what you pay now. However, you need to check out the serving sizes on your dog food compared to Life's Abundance. For example, we were feeding Jolly about 1 and 1/3 cups a day of Purina Complete. When we switched to Life's Abundance, we only had to feed her a 2/3 cup of food a day! So, yes, we paid more for the bag, but we now feed half as much! Life's Abundance does a nice price comparison to other popular brands here.
