Holistic Nutrition

A truly balanced blend of essential nutrients from quality ingredients exquisitely proportioned to the energy content of the food allows the body to balance naturally, often producing amazing results for all, including sufferers of allergies, intolerances, sensitivities or ill-thrift.

Sympathetic ingredients

For a food to be truly healthy and nutritious, it must be made from ingredients that are sympathetic to the animal.

The selection of high quality, sympathetic ingredients is essential in maintaining and enhancing your pet’s microbiota. Achieving a balanced microbiome has been shown to produce incredible improvements to the health and wellbeing of the animal.

Hippocrates belief that “all disease begins in the gut” still remains true today, over 2000 years later!

Ethical recipes

The combination of high quality, sympathetic ingredients in the correct proportions to create a specific nutrient profile is both an ethical and an effective method of feeding your pet.

All too often we see pet foods containing ingredients that may contain the correct nutrients, but these nutrients are often present in the food in an indigestible form.

This leads to a distortion of the microbiome which in turn creates imbalances in blood nutrient levels, an increase in stool production, and a general lowering of health and wellbeing.

Scientifically designed

True holistic nutrition is strongly supported by scientific research. Total wellbeing of both body and mind is dependent on the balanced supply of essential nutrients in specific ratio to one another.

When the nutrient ratios are combined proportionally to the energy content of the food even greater benefits result. This is the science of Nutrient Ramping.

LifeWise is 100% Australian; Australian original science, Australian pure and clean raw ingredients processed in Australia by Australians for dogs the world over.

LifeWise is the only Australian specialty nutrition company manufacturing companion animal diets. The ever-increasing army of enthusiastic pet owners who use the food and laud it for the benefits bestowed are testament to the quality and value for money the food delivers. But then again, it could just be that you are receiving food that is made to a standard that we know it to be, and that you expect it to be!

Superior bioavailability

By combining the ingredients in a manner that delivers precise essential nutrients in the correct ratios for use in the body means more of the food value is actually used in the body and less is passed as waste.

Improved bioavailability also improves digestive efficiency and reduces the volume of stools produced.

So less food, less waste and improved digestive efficiency all adds up to a saving in food bills whilst improving general levels of health.

Healthier outcomes

Delivering a truly balanced array of essential nutrients drawn from quality ingredients allow the body to balance itself naturally.

This results in an initial reduction in the amount of food the animal eats to achieve the same body weight and energy levels.

But over the ensuing 3 months, a further, more gradual reduction in appetite generally occurs as blood nutrient levels stabilise at their natural, healthy levels, just as nature intended.

Reduced stress

Probably the greatest benefit of the LifeWise science and quality is the reduction of stress in the animal.

Stress reduction has many benefits for health and wellbeing. Natural disease resistance is enhanced when stress is reduced, as is quality of life.

LifeWise dogs also tend to be happier dogs, who are more content and possess a healthy glow. After all, good health always shines from the inside out.

The old adage tells us that cheap can’t be good, but it doesn’t necessarily follow that expensive is better. However, with LifeWise the food is priced fairly.

The science, the quality ingredients, the rigorous testing and the high quality packaging are all serious cost impositions as is the integrity of the supply. But that is all that is included in the price; LifeWise food does not carry a premium to cover the cost of glitzy advertising or hollow promises. It simply gives you what you pay for.
