Holistic Select's equation for health is simple. Holistic Select start with premium proteins, wholesome grains and healthy fat sources to support a slowing metabolism. They then combine these with their unique Select Actives^™ to create a final recipe that delivers optimum natural nutrition for daily whole-body health.  Select Actives are Nature's Power Ingredients, like enzymes, live micro-organisms, botanicals and phytonutrients. When combined, these powerful ingredients activate a higher level of health — and this is the holistic philosophy that guides all their recipes.

Select Actives^® Nature's Power Ingredients:

Contains a source of live, naturally occurring micro-organisms (or DFM) that are found in healthy digestive

tracts as well as enzymes that help break down proteins, cellulose and starch at guaranteed levels.

Our sequestered mineral process encapsulates trace minerals to help diminish deterioration and therefore

make them more bioavailable to your pet's system.

These elements found in the skins of vegetables and fruits act as powerful antioxidants. Antioxidants help

neutralize free radicals to keep cells healthy.

A special blend of natural Omega 6 and Omega 3 fatty acids is blended in optimum amounts and ideal ratios to one another. These fatty acids play a vital role in supporting healthy skin and a glossy coat at guaranteed levels. 

Holistic Select Senior Care Formula is the result of the latest research known to improve the health and longevity of senior pets. It puts to rest several myths about protein levels in a senior's diet. Senior Care Formula has many superior benefits not available in other brands.Current research shows the diet must make it easier on the aging dog's digestive system, so Holistic Select use the 3 most digestible meat meal proteins from meat. They do not use by-products, as do some senior formulas.Current research also shows the aging dog needs higher levels of amino acids, which come from meat meal protein. Clearly then you do not want to reduce protein levels. (A protein level of approximately 26% is correct for the senior dog).To further enhance the digestibility and a healthy digestive system, Holistic Select are one of a very few brands that add yogurt-type probiotics, prebiotics (Inulin) and digestive enzymes. Their exclusive SQM Enhanced Vitamin/Mineral System, teamed with antioxidants, builds overall health and a healthy immune system.

The formula also features oatmeal, considered a star of the health food industry. It is also a quality fiber and a hypoallergenic ingredient.Menhaden Oil and Flaxseed enhance the Omega-health blend of Omega 6:3 fatty acids for an outstanding coat and healthy skin. Farm, orchard and herb garden ingredients include human grade peas, carrots, apples plus sun-cured alfalfa and garlic. Like all Holistic Select formulas, it includes eight or more of their "Wellness for Life" custom supplements, unique to Holistic Select.
