Holistic dog food

Holistic dog food

Holistic dog food is a premium type of food created based on a “holistic approach” to animal health. Unlike conventional foods, holistic foods are formulated so that each kibble not only satisfies hunger but also supports the dog's entire body — from digestion and immunity to the condition of the coat, joints, and nervous system.

They contain only natural ingredients: high-quality meat or fish, fresh vegetables, fruits, herbs, healthy oils, as well as vitamins and minerals of natural origin. At the same time, holistic foods do not contain artificial flavors, colors, preservatives, wheat, or soy — anything that could cause allergies or strain the organs.

The term “holistic” appeared in 1926 as a definition of a philosophical approach, according to which looking at an object as a whole is more informative than evaluating its individual parts. When it comes to animal nutrition, a holistic approach means:

• a balanced composition;
• compliance with the natural needs of canines;
• the presence of the necessary amount of micro- and macroelements, amino acids, fats, and carbohydrates, taking into account breed, size, and age.

The main idea behind holistic food is that a dog's health begins with proper nutrition. Such a diet helps maintain optimal weight, improves the functioning of internal organs, makes the coat shiny, and keeps the animal active and energetic.

5 reasons to buy holistic dog food

The main reasons why holistic dog food is in consistently high demand are:

1. It corresponds to the natural diet of canines. In nature, predators consume only meat and fish, and only raw (without heat treatment). Predators do not eat grains (wheat, soy, rice, etc.) at all. The exceptions are herbs, vegetables, and fruits, which are necessary for improving digestion.
2. High quality and natural ingredients. Holistic dog food is made from raw materials that are strictly controlled for quality. The certification requirements are so high that people can safely use the raw materials to prepare meals. Synthetic flavorings, flavor enhancers, and artificial preservatives are prohibited. Rosemary oil and products containing vitamins C, E, etc. are used as preservatives.
3. A variety of products in terms of composition and nutritional value. The Holistic class includes granules made from natural chicken, turkey, duck, lamb, and other meats, and fish (salmon, trout) is widely used. Holistic foods contain up to 30% beneficial protein, and the fish/meat content is 70% or higher.
4. Hypoallergenic. Thanks to the use of exclusively natural ingredients, holistic dry food for dogs does not cause allergic reactions, so it can be given to pets with metabolic, liver, and kidney problems, as well as those with grain and gluten intolerance.
5. High digestibility. Holistic kibble is almost completely digestible, which leads to a reduction in stool volume. A prerequisite for complete digestion is that there must always be clean water in the bowl.

When you buy holistic dog food, you can be sure that your pet will be in good health (provided you choose the right type of kibble) and that its coat, skin, eyes, heart, and intestines will be healthy.

How does holistic food differ from regular dog food?

The main differences between holistic foods are:

• An impressive content of pure meat, fish, etc. By-products are practically not used.
• No heavy carbohydrates, artificial preservatives, or flavor enhancers.

High-quality holistic dry dog food will be a reliable source of energy for pets.

What does holistic dog food consist of?

Holistic dry dog food consists, as in the natural diet of predators, mainly of fresh meat or fish, as well as chicken liver and dried fish (herring, flounder). Fish or chicken fat, tocopherol (vitamin E) are used as preservatives and to increase nutritional value. The necessary fiber is provided by gluten-free grains and beans, beets and pumpkin, apples and berries. Natural herbs, loved by dogs, are added in the form of extracts. The composition of the granules varies depending on the purpose of the product.

How to choose high-quality holistic dog food?

To make the right choice, you need to consider the following factors:

• the age, size, and breed of the animal;
• individual characteristics;
• health status;
• the dog's personal preferences.

It is important to remember that products of this type are not cheap.
