What is holistic dog food, you might be wondering? Webster's defines holistic as relating to or concerned with wholes or with complete systems rather than with the analysis of, treatment of, or dissection into parts; meaning that it covers all the bases or the whole body. Holistic is also a synonym for alternative methods. By this definition, "going holistic" means turning away from any conventional options and using alternative methods. Holistic dog food is based on these very definitions. It is intended to not just treat hunger in your pet but to also address various circumstances that might arise in the health and well being of your pet such as skin ailments, fleas and ticks, joint problems and intestinal diseases. Holistic dog foods are all natural, they are made up of human grade ingredients which means that instead of a by product of meal it contains actual hormone free meat. Included in holistic foods are whole grain Rice, balanced omega 6 and 3 fatty acids, probiotics, digestive enzymes, antioxidant vitamins, chelated minerals, and natural skin and coat conditioners.
