Our Food is Thoroughly Cooked
We understand your concerns, and we want to assure you that our food is safe for your pets. As part of our commitment to quality and safety, we closely monitor conditions that could impact our ingredients, including drought, market competition, and disease outbreaks like avian flu. Our products are cooked, not raw—an important distinction since, according to the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA), poultry products are only risky if they come from infected birds and are eaten raw.

How We Ensure Safety
Just like the safety measures you take at home, we heat our foods to at least 165° Fahrenheit, which aligns with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidelines for destroying potential pathogens. This thorough cooking process helps ensure that our products are safe for your pets to enjoy.

Your Pets Are in Good Hands
We hope this information reinforces your confidence in our food. By continuing to feed Life’s Abundance, you can rest assured that your furry family members are receiving meals that are both nutritious and safe. If you have any additional questions, we’re always here to help!
