Meat is always the first ingredient in TLC, with emphasis on the protein-rich, low-carbohydrate ancestral diet of wild dogs. With its high meat content, TLC is an excellent substitute for RAW diets. TLC's meats are chicken, lamb and salmon. No by-products or fillers – no compromise!   

Protein is the building block of life, essential for muscle and tissue development. TLC’s top two ingredients Lamb and Chicken are among the highest digestible proteins available. Lamb Meal is an excellent source of protein, great for muscle development and overall body maintenance. Chicken provides a balanced and complete amino acid profile and the fresh meaty flavor that dogs love.

Salmon Meal is an excellent source of protein and Omega-3 Fatty Acids that supports heart, circulatory, skin and coat health.   The salmon meal and oil used in TLC Whole Life Natural comes from the Atlantic Ocean, USA and are naturally preserved with Vitamin E, and are 100% Ethoxyquin free!

Probiotics help regulate the intestinal microbial environment, stopping pathogens and harmful bacteria from colonizing in the digestive system. TLC Whole Life Natural Dog Food contains the four most important types of Probiotic beneficial bacteria:

1. Enterococcus Faecium promotes bowel and colon health by helping to counter other toxic bacteria, including E coli.
   
   
2. Lactobacillus Acidophilus inhabits the intestines to protect against unhealthy organisms. As this beneficial bacteria breaks down nutrients in the intestine, it produces lactic acid, and other compounds that make the environment hostile for toxic organisms.
   
   
3. Lactobacillus Casei inhabits the mouth and intestines to protect against unhealthy organisms. Lactobacillus Casei may assist in the elimination of the negative H. Pylori bacteria, which may be responsible for stomach ulcers and other gastrointestinal ailments.
   
   
4. Bifidobacterium Thermophilum is a genus of anaerobic bacteria and a form of probiotic (beneficial bacteria) that is thought to have health-promoting properties. Bifidobacteria are one of the major strains of bacteria that make up the gut flora.

Mannan-Oligosaccharides (MOS) are a type of sugar that feeds the beneficial bacteria found in the intestine, encouraging gastrointestinal health and performance.    Chicory root contains the soluble fiber inulin, which also feeds beneficial bacteria in the intestines.  

The prebiotics in TLC are non-digestible, allowing them to reach the intestine unaffected by the digestion process. When they reach the intestine, the prebiotics feed the beneficial bacteria, providing good digestive health. The reaching of prebiotics to the intestine in this unchanged form is referred to as the prebiotic effect.

TLC uses a mix of the very best low glycemic, slow to digest ingredients for its carbohydrates, including iron-rich Oatmeal, Whole Grain Barley, Brown Rice, Millet, Sweet Potato and Flaxseed.

The glycemic index refers to how quickly the sugars and carbohydrates from foods are absorbed into your blood stream. High glycemic foods are those that contain refined ingredients such as potato, white flour and corn syrup.  These ingredients can lead to high blood sugar, obesity, insulin resistance and diabetes.   This is due to high glycemic foods containing quickly digested sugars, resulting in the body generated insulin to convert the sugar to usable energy.  Insulin in turn triggers a hunger response in the brain, pressuring the animal to eat more food and more frequently while never feeling full, resulting in obesity.  Also, the insulin shock of high glycemic foods can wear and damage the organs, especially the pancreas, resulting in insulin resistance, or diabetes.    

According a joint study of the International Journal on Obesity (McMillan-Price J, Brand-Miller J. Low-glycaemic index diets and body weight regulation. Int J Obes 2006), “..a low glycemic index diet will successfully improve cardiovascular risk factors and reduce body weight.”

By feeding low glycemic foods, your dog may avoid obesity and diabetes, and may feel fuller longer.  TLC Whole Life Natural dog food contains only the low glycemic whole and natural ingredients your dog needs to protect against obesity and diabetes.

TLC Whole Life Natural uses only the very best ingredients in their most natural form, with no animal or plant by-products.  TLC only uses ingredients that support beneficial nutrition, with no fillers or artificial flavours or colors. Color does nothing for the dog, and is added to competitor pet foods purely to attract the pet owner, not the dog itself – TLC never uses artificial colors.

TLC has omitted all of the common allergens from Whole Life Natural Dog Food, including corn and wheat.   We also omit potato, a common pet food ingredient, due to its high glycemic rating contributing to insulin resistance, diabetes and obesity.
