Holistic Select Grain Free
This review is for the Holistic Select Turkey & Lentil recipe, which is grain free as well as being potato free – this makes for an interesting recipe which might be a good choice for dogs needing a limited diet.
Deboned Turkey and Turkey Meal make up the main ingredients which is great to see. Turkey is a decent lean meat, and the protein level is high in this food at 32%.
Next we find peas, lentils, and chick peas which will bulk up the protein levels in the food and also the amount of fibre, which can help both diarrhea and constipation, as well as promoting weight loss and reducing the risk of colon cancer. They’re good ingredients, but it’s worth considering the protein and fibre is right for your dog.
Other Holistic Select recipes seem to contain decent oils, such as Menhaden Fish Oil, but this seems to be lacking here. I also wonder why they’ve included the waste product brewers dried yeast amongst a range of really nice fruits, veggies, vitamins, and minerals. It feels a bit careless in an otherwise good food.
I don’t think it’s a bad food, far from it, but it doesn’t feel polished to me. It’s certainly a solid 4 star food.
Where to buy?
What’s good about this food….
Balanced ingredients, meat meal as top ingredient.
….and what’s not so good.
Brewers yeast, lack of a decent oil source.
