Pet foods which are formulated based on a holistic point of view endeavors to provide a complete food ration that will reflect a dog’s natural diet. This means that all the nutrients, whether macro- or micro-nutrients, should already be present in the raw materials and not incorporated as an additive. All ingredients must be of high quality including human grade muscle meat, with appropriate levels of balanced carbohydrates and herbage source. Natural ingredients ensure that the dogs have access to natural nutrients which can be properly metabolized and digested.

Aside from being a cornerstone of health and wellness, a holistic diet can also help control parasites.

Although one may find it hard to understand how a holistic food diet can help with parasite control, the answer lies in the stimulation and boosting of the dog’s immune system thereby preventing severe infestation and over-population of parasites.
