BENTONVILLE, Ark., April 26, 2006 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- Natural Life pet food, available now at 1,500 Wal-Mart Stores (WMT) , gives pet owners the chance to feed their pets as nutritiously as they do their own families. Made in certified organic facilities that meet all local, state and federal regulations, Natural Life's ingredients are unadulterated, healthy and naturally nutritious.

Nutritious food for healthier pets
Just like many pet foods found at specialty shops and national pet supplies chain stores, Natural Life is made with no artificial preservatives, colors or flavors. It includes only wholesome meats like chicken, lamb and venison -- never by-products -- and is preserved naturally with vitamins C and E, never chemicals.
Natural Life recipes contain "chelated minerals," which means that minerals -- crucial to a pet's good health but difficult for pets to absorb -- will be absorbed directly into the bloodstream. Natural Life is also fortified with Ester-C, the highest form of vitamin C, which helps animals with arthritis or other degenerative joint disorders, such as hip dysplasia.

Nutritious food for dogs and cats
    Wal-Mart will offer dog and cat owners four Natural Life pet foods.

    For dogs
     *  Adult formula, containing pesticide-free wheat and natural
        antioxidants; fortified with glucosamine to keep dogs healthy and
        vital
     *  Lamaderm formula, contains no wheat, corn or dairy, perfect for the
        one in 10 adult dogs with sensitive tummies or skin or coat problems
     *  Lamaderm puppy formula, especially created to provide the protein
        puppies need to grow into strong, energetic dogs

    For cats
     *  Adult cat formula, complete and balanced for maintaining the vitality
        of adult cats
