Holistic Select

[BLowry]

anyone here every hear of this kibble? It is made by the same company that makes Wellness Brand dog foods. My Mom feeds it to her little girl. The kibble for small breeds is VERY small. I believe my little man is at his full size. He will be 1 yr old in 3 days and he is only 4 lbs. I am feeding merricks grammies pot pie right now which all 3 of them love but, the kibble seems to big for him...was thinking of switching over to Holistic Select...I tried to find the ratings on it and couldn't ...could use some yt help with this one!


Thank you peeps!

This is a review I found. Not sure how accurate the information is but I know some others use the site. Holistic Select Dog Food | Review and Rating

I have heard of it but not used it. Is it possible for you to contact the company and request samples? Good luck!

The breeder I got my Yoshi from gave him Holistic Select. I bought a bag when I first brought him home. Honestly, it smelled so bad that I switched his food the very next day. I think that one of the first few ingredients is anchovy. Not to say that it's not a good food...I just couldn't take the smell. Holistic Select recently changed their name. It used to be called Eagle Pack.

I forgot...yes, the kibble is tiny. Another tiny kibble is Solid Gold's Just a Wee Bit. That's what I switched to. Holistic Select is just a teeny bit smaller than Solid Gold.

Halo has food for small dogs the kibbles are small, solid gold wee bits, fromm surf and turf is small also.. wellness gave Sonic the ruins.. I would have to save they really like the halo best, then fromm or solid good all are good food.

I don't think its Eagle Pack bc my feed store still carries Eagle Pack. Same original packaging.

ETA, we feed Uni this exact one, the anchovy, salmon one. She needs omegas and can't take lamb, and we try to stay away from chicken. She loves this, and I can't say it smells any worse than any other kibble. Plus the fish is ethoxiquin free. It's a good food and a good price.

Oh also forgot since Uni has pancreatitis, this food had the lowest fat content I found other than Honest Kitchen Preference.

FROMM's kibble is small for all formula's and mine all love it

I noticed that some stores still have Eagle Pack on the shelves too. I could be wrong...maybe EP and HS are the same company? I'm sure it's a great food. Yoshi was so healthy when we got him

The grain-frees are about the size of a pencil eraser and I know that the salmon a la veg is around the same size but flatter. Toki loves Fromm and accepts it as a treat!

the furbutts just got off meds for giardia and bacteria in their bellies. I think I am going to wait a while, till they are 100% back to normal (poop) then get some from my Mom and try it out. I'm SURE it's going to effect their bowels until they get used to it...even if I mix it...They do like it...when Mom doggy sits they try to eat Callies food....Just hoping it doesn't upset their bellies

Could be! I did notice that EP and HS were placed next to each other in my feed store. And that HS is fairly new, and I don't really know many other places that sell it. I chose it bc I liked the ingredient list and the lower fat content. I didn't notice if Uni got healthier or not on it. Her eyes are still watery like always, and she was still really itchy until we got her on some meds. So I think her itchies are from the environment and not food.

I actually tried the apple cider vinegar thing for Yoshi's eyes. It works! I put about a tablespoon of vinegar per gallon in his water & his eyes cleared up in a few weeks. Well, they're still slightly goopy, but nowhere near what they used to be like. I also tried Angel Eyes but that didn't work for us.

Oh yeah? I've never tried it before. I guess I should try it, nothing to lose right? Scraps' eyes are really goopy too. I also tried Angel Eyes and nothing.
