Description

Holistic Select food for pets was introduced in 2000, and has resonated with pet parents dedicated to health and nutrition that understand the power of a holistic approach to nutrition. Holistic is a philosophy that guides life choices, including nutrition, to elevate the health of everyone, including pets.

Holistic is defined as emphasizing the importance of the whole and the interdependence of its parts. Whole body health begins by feeding and nourishing the body with functional foods and ingredients that can be found within nature's vast bounty. Holistic Select goes "beyond natural" by building a foundation of premium proteins, fats and carbohydrates and then adding Select Actives. Select Actives are Nature's Power Ingredients, like enzymes, live micro-organisms, botanicals and phytonutrients. When combined, these powerful ingredients activate a higher level of health — and this is the holistic philosophy that guides the Holistic Select recipes. It is both proven and believed that prevention is the best medicine. It's true for pets too and Holistic Select pet foods are a proactive way to prevent health problems in pets before they start.

Beef is the clean flesh derived from cattle and is limited to that part of the striated muscle which is skeletal or that which is found in the tongue or heart, with or without the accompanying and overlying fat and the portions of the skin, sinew, nerve and blood vessels which normally accompany the flesh. An excellent source of high quality protein.

Chicken Liver is liver specifically from chicken. It is an excellent source of high quality protein and a rich source of Vitamins A, D and virtually all of the B vitamins.

Carrots are an excellent source of fiber and minerals, and a good natural source of beta–carotene, an antioxidant essential for neutralizing free radicals.

Duck is the clean combination of skin and flesh without bone derived from the parts or whole carcasses of ducks. It is an excellent source of high quality protein and essential fatty acids.

Oat Fiber is a purified form of fiber extracted from oat hulls. It is an excellent source of both soluble and insoluble fiber.

Oatmeal is a quality fiber and highly digestible carbohydrate source. The veterinary dermatology group recommends using oatmeal on dogs with skin allergies, both as a shampoo and in the diet.

Ground Brown & White Rice are highly digestible grains. Brown rice still contains the hull which is high in fiber and minerals such as magnesium while white rice has had the fiber removed. Using a combination of the two helps achieve overall nutritional balance, as the white rice balances the nutrient density of brown rice to avoid over–delivering or offering an unhealthy excess of certain nutrients. White rice is a great choice of grain for dogs and cats with sensitive stomachs.

Peas are an excellent source of protein and fiber. They are a great representative of the "Green" vegetable group.

Potatoes are good sources of important nutrients (including - protector - antioxidants). Potatoes provide B vitamins, carbohydrates, zinc, vitamin C, copper, iron, magnesium, niacin and potassium.

Flaxseed, also known as linseed, is rich in Omega 3 fatty acids and high in fiber. The Omega 3 fats in flaxseed have wide ranging health benefits, including cardiovascular, endocrine and immune system support, as well as improving coat shine and assisting the movement of food through the digestive system.

Dried Egg Product is dried, whole, cooked eggs (minus shells). It is often added to pet foods to increase the protein biological value. Raw egg whites contain avidin, which binds to biotin (B Vitamin) to make it unavailable to the pet. Therefore, it is not recommended to feed pets raw eggs.

Guar Gum is the extract of Cyamopsis tetragonolobus, a legume grown primarily in India and Texas. It is usually used in canned pet foods to bind water to improve the appearance of the product. It can be used in foods for diabetic pets since it also slows the absorption of glucose.

Brewers Dried Yeast is the dried non–fermentative, non–extracted yeast. It must contain not less than 35% crude protein. Brewer's yeast is usually added to foods to enhance palatability.

Potassium Chloride is a potassium supplement which contains 40% potassium and 60% chloride. This combination helps the pet maintain proper acid–base balance.

Salt/Sodium Chloride is a sodium and chloride supplement typically found in pet food. It contains 39% sodium and 61% chloride. It is important in helping the pet maintain proper fluid balance.

Carrageenan Gum is the extract from the red seaweed found in the North Atlantic coastal regions. It is usually used in canned pet foods to bind water to improve the appearance of the product.

Canola Oil is obtained by extracting the oil from canola seeds. It cannot contain more than 3% impurities. The oil provides the animal with calories needed for energy and the essential fatty acid alpha–linoleic acid (an Omega-3 fatty acid) necessary for a healthy coat.

Cranberry Powder is the dehydrated form of the cranberry plant and is an excellent source of Vitamin C. Dried or dehydrated fruits are nutrient dense and allow us to use more of those nutrients than whole fruits do, since they have significantly lower water content than whole/fresh fruits. Cranberries are also well known to support urinary tract health.

Blueberries are rich in Vitamins A & C, potassium, fiber and various caratenoids, which are valuable antioxidants.

Kelp (dried) is a natural source of 60 sequestered nutrients. Our kelp is harvested from ocean waters. It is an ideal natural source of many essential nutrients such as naturally chelated (sequestered) trace minerals including iron, iodine, magnesium and sulfur. There are essential Omega 3 fatty acids and several vitamins including Vitamins A, D, B12 and folic acid that are naturally found in kelp. Some species of kelp can contain as many as 20 amino acids, the building blocks for cell replacement and development. In addition, kelp contains antioxidants such as beta-carotenes.

Vitamin E Supplement is added to almost all pet foods as a vitamin source. It is a fat soluble vitamin, which is required in your pet's diet.

Vitamin A (Acetate) & Vitamin D-3 are two supplements added to almost all pet foods as a vitamin source. Vitamin A is sometimes labeled as vitamin A–acetate and Vitamin D as cholecalciferol. Both of these fat soluble vitamins are required in the diet, although diets containing liver are often not supplemented with Vitamin A, because liver is an excellent source of vitamin A.

Vitamin B12 Supplement is only found in animal based ingredients, and most animals obtain enough vitamin B12 from the microbes in their gut. Animals on antibiotics may require supplemental vitamin B12.

Thiamin Mononitrate is a form of thiamin (thiamine) or Vitamin B1. Thiamin is easily destroyed by high heat, so most dry foods and all canned foods should be supplemented with additional thiamin.

Biotin is a B–vitamin included in most diets for pets. It is found in the intestinal tract and helps prevent dermatitis. It is essential for normal metabolism of fat and protein.

Riboflavin Supplement is used to supply the diet with a B–complex vitamin. It helps promote growth and helps assimilation of carbohydrates and amino acids.

Ferrous Sulfate is a source of iron. It provides oxygen to blood and helps with the digestion of fatty acids.

Copper Proteinate/Copper Sulfate two compounds which are used as a source of copper. The copper from copper proteinate is highly available while the copper from copper sulfate is less so. A trace mineral found in all body tissues, it works in respiration, synthesis of hemoglobin and production of collagen. It is also an antioxidant and helps prevent oxidation of fatty acids.

Manganese Proteinate/Manganese Sulfate are two compounds which are used as a source of manganese. The manganese from manganese proteinate is a chelated source of manganese and is an antioxidant. It activates many enzymes and helps utilize fatty acids. The manganese from manganese sulfate is less available.

Sodium Selenite is a source of the trace mineral selenium. Since animals require only about 0.1 parts per million of selenium, sodium selenite does not contribute any significant amounts of sodium. This helps to regulate the body's water balance.

Choline Chloride is a source of the nutrient Choline, which is necessary for a number of important functions including energy metabolism and proper nervous tissue function.

Inulin (also known as Chicory Root Extract) is a natural fiber and serves as a food source for the probiotics. Research shows it stimulates the growth of favorable bacteria (DFM's/Direct Fed Microbials) such as Lactobacillus. Combined with our high protein diets, it also aids in the reduction of gas.

Yucca Schidigera Extract is a natural source of digestive aid and is known to reduce urine and fecal odor. It is rich in minerals due to its anti-inflammatory properties.
