My Mom and I have this conversation several times a year, every single year. I cook a holiday dinner, such as the one I made for Thanksgiving a couple of days ago. She asks for anything I don’t want such as the bag of nasty that you remove before cooking, as well as the bones and any meat that I don’t want. I ask her what it’s for, even though I know. She tells me that some of it, like the bones, is for making homemade soup. The rest of it is a treat for her dogs. I have explained to her countless times that it isn’t safe to feed household pets just anything. She doesn’t listen.
As a Holistic Select Ambassador, Jules and I (well, just me) have been learning more about what foods are good for your pet, as well as the impact they can have on their health. I totally get wanting your pet to know they’re special, and the desire to want to give them a special meal. The problem is, pets really aren’t made to eat most of the meals people prepare. I would never give my Jules some turkey that had been basted with butter and jam packed full of full of flavorful stuffing. Instead, for Thanksgiving I gave Jules a can of Holistic Select Turkey pate cat food which is made for cats in all stages of life.
It was very interesting to watch Jules enjoy his Thanksgiving dinner. As always, he licked at his food for a bit. It’s easy to see how damp and wet the food is, he loves the flavor and it’s actually a good way to add water into a cat’s diet. Holistic Select uses a unique grain-free recipe for its food that is rich in protein and provides prebiotic support from chicory root extract in order to promote healthy digestion. The food also contains herbs & botanicals such as pumpkin, papaya, pomegranate and peppermint, which help ensure that your pet receives natural nutrition for overall whole-body health. Besides appreciating the fact that Jules enjoys the wet food, I enjoy knowing that the food contains no grains, wheat, soy, corn, artificial colors, flavors or preservatives.
The same can be said for Holistic Select dog foods. As with the canned cat food, the canned dog food can be used to feed alone or as a topper or mixer with dry food. The new Deboned Turkey & Lentils Recipe from Holistic Select would be a great solution for folks like my Mom who want to give their pet a good meal without potentially causing problems with their digestive system. The natural canned dog food features chickpeas and lentils. Mom wouldn’t serve her dogs cranberry sauce, or at least I don’t think she would. But she’d totally want to give her dogs a Thanksgiving dinner! Well, she still can, in a safe way. Holistic Select turkey canned food has cranberry powder in it. Mix the canned food with the Holistic Select Grain Free Adult Health Deboned Turkey & Lentils Dry Dog Food and you’ve got a feast for a Prince! One of Mom’s dogs names is Prince. The poultry-based dry dog food is grain-Free and potato-Free, and also features peas, lentils & chickpeas, all of which are low glycemic index carbohydrates.

I need to get this for my dog, Milo. He definitely needs a food that he can digest better.
Oh this sounds interesting. I wonder if I can get it anywhere around here. I have a house full of pets that could use it!
I don’t have pets, so I’m missing out on all these fun Thanksgiving options for them. I need to see what my daughter did for her cat!
I did give my pups some leftover turkey on Thanksgiving. My cats didn’t get anything but I think they would love this food! I’ll have to check it out for them.
We don’t have any pets. This pet food is very interesting..
This sounds like amazing food. Heck, it sounds healthier than most of the food I eat.
I need to try this for my dogs. All three of them have sensitive stomachs. This could be an answer to that.
I’ve often wondered if there was a pet version of health food. I guess I’ve got my answer. This stuff sounds amazing.
We considering getting a cat soon. It’s amazing how much there is to learn about different kinds of pet food.
My oldest cat could use some of this to get more water into her diet. I will have to check it out.
I need this for my pug! She has been doing some really bad gas lately, and I bet this would help!
My pets ate pet food for Thanksgiving. I don’t feed them human food. They are much healthier when they eat their own food made for them.
I try natural as often as possible for my pets. this sounds great.
Kingers had Framm’s for Thanksgiving. I did buy him some special natural treats for the day.
Choice dog or cat kibble topped off with a turkey broth leftover from the casserole I prepared from scratch for hubby intended for lunch the next day.
Honestly I gave both our cat and dog a plate full of turkey and gravy! Probably not the best for them but they sure loved it!
We don’t feed our golden retriever anything but his dog food. Even at holidays, he gets treats but only those made for pooches!
I’m not familiar with this brand, but it sounds like something I’d definitely want for our Shih Tzu. I know that Shih Tzu can have stomach/digestive disorders. :/
That is a great gift for your pet. A tasty one too!
My older dog is a boxer and she has sensitive stomach issues so we always have to be careful about what we feed her. Shes pretty much been on the same food for her 9 years of life.
My cats do not eat people food. I did give them some turkey cat treats.
Mmm, this looks like a great meal for your pet! We don’t have a pet but if we did, I’d want to do my best to make sure they are healthy and happy. This looks like it does just that!
I bet my cats would love that! Your cat is gorgeous. 🙂
AWWW your kitty is beautiful. We have our own homemade food but I would so try this holistic select brand for our kitties, too!
No pets here! Wonderful that you’re educating yourself about safe pet foods!
We need to try this! We love our sweet pets.
It sounds like they put a lot of thought into the food. The idea of the wet food adding water to the diet is smart to think of, and I’m sure you’re right!
Our dogs had some plain turkey breast mixed in with their regular dry food. I also gave them some pumpkin puree as a treat.
I switched my doggie to organic foods. They cost a bit more but he loves them
My cat eats wet food, but I’ve never seen this brand. I’ll keep an eye out for it!
I will share this with my aunt! She has lots of kitties 🙂
This sounds like a great product for your pets. Thanks so much for sharing about this brand. I hadn’t heard of it before.
