At Goggins Lonestar Farms, we seek continuous improvement in every aspect of our program, including nutrition. We have shied away from big box commercial pet food brands, preferring homegrown and reliable businesses that care about the product they are putting out, and the beloved pets that are consuming it. Too often these commercial brands end up outsourcing and cheapening their ingredients (especially the types of protein–replacing them with legumes which are not species-appropriate for canines) to increase the bottom line. In such business, we are weary of non-digestible fillers, GMO’s, phytoestrogens and animal by-products, as well as the constant worry about new recalls and reports of contamination. We believe that what goes into your pet’s body, is at the core of their overall health.

Our ChoiceAs responsible breeders, we had to make a critical choice in foods, when considering the specific dietary needs of the breeds. Labrador Retrievers and Miniature American Shepherds are extremely sensitive to various food allergies; it has become increasingly important for us to educate our clients and save their pets from the devastating and heartbreak effects of a sub-par diet.

Puppy HealthWith veterinarian Dr. Jane Bicks as the pet product formulator, Life’s Abundance was founded almost 20 years ago. Life’s Abundance All Life Stage Dog Food also contains important pre and probiotics that aid in your dog’s overall gut health and digestion. These key ingredients, including several other needed vitamins, also support your dog’s overall immune system. This food is one of only two I know of that have never had a recall, nor stooped to using the latest cheap ingredients as so many other premium kibbles have in the past couple of years. The fact they are shipped fresh means they do not sit on store shelves, hot warehouses or on trucks–so the risk of rancid, toxic food is eliminated.

Balanced - All Life FoodSuper growth foods are not recommended for large breeds, as they can lend themselves to overgrowth and contribute to joint problems (specifically hips). Protein levels are suitable for either puppies or adult dogs. This food will not give your pup runny stool like many high protein puppy foods. Do not feed puppy chow, or super growth puppy foods, we feed a food that is an All-Life Stage formula and will be just fine for the growth of your pup.
