Holistic Select Senior Health Chicken Meal & Lentils Recipe Dry Dog Food

I didn't know how much of a difference this product would make. But, our girl is almost 14 years old. She has problems eating certain foods, so we were adding pumpkin puree to her food. It took a little more time, but I felt like she needed more nutrients. So, I started looking at what would work and be better for a dog her age. Since we purchased the first bag, our girl is back to eating on a more normal basis. I don't know if it's related. But, she seems to have more energy and I'm thankful that something is helping her in her older years.

My GSP has always had loose stools, I’m so glad I found this food online and dog food advisor gives it a high rating. My boy Bo, German Shorthaired Pointer is the best he’s been on this. He looks better, his bowel movements look fabulous, not soft and I’m looking forward to no more hot spots, impressed

My 14-year-old cockapoo has been diagnosed with the early stages of kidney failure, and my vet recommended putting her on a kidney diet. Luckily for me, they didn’t have a small bag of the Science Diet “Prescription” one in stock. After doing some research into the kidney-specific dry foods available, I discovered that those brands are all rated about 3 to 3.5 stars on dogfoodadvisor.com. Since I’m currently feeding all of my five dogs various varieties of 5-star grain-free foods, I certainly didn’t want to downgrade her food like that. It took a lot of research into the primary characteristics of what makes a “kidney diet” (low protein, low sodium, very low phosphates), I then scoured My 14-year-old cockapoo has been diagnosed with the early stages of kidney failure, and my vet recommended putting her on a kidney diet.

This is what I ended up with. It’s a 4.5 Star food that, at the early stages of the disease, seems to meet her requirements. I wish it was lower-calorie (she was on a fat-dog food before), but I’ve just cut her quantity and filled in with pumpkin (check sodium levels on various brands!). And I expect I may have to switch her to a home-cooked diet at some point, but in the meantime, this is a great alternative that I feel good about feeding her. She also eats it readily. (If you have a tiny dog, be aware that the kibble size may be too big for them. She’s 11 pounds and can manage it, but they’re definitely larger than the Kibble the others are getting.) Anyway, talk to your vet and do your research. Just be aware that just bc a food is “prescription” and/or obscenely expensive, that doesn’t mean it’s made with top-quality ingredients. … more

Our dogs have been on this food for about 2 1/2 months, and we have seen such a change. We have a 9 yo and a 3 yo. The vet ok’d us to switch to senior food, and it has been a benefit to both. The grain free + glucosamine has made an impact for sure. Our older dog, who used to sleep all day, is active and peppy. He used to limp after the dog park or a long walk for 2-3 days, but not anymore. And our younger dog (sorry for the TMI) is much more regular.

My four dogs love this food and I love that it's grain free. Kibble is about 1/4 inch in diameter. Easy for small dogs to eat.

We transitioned our dog to this senior holistic food because it is healthier for him plus the kibbles are smaller, I like that because he is missing some teeth. He put on some weight over the holidays with treats and after a weigh in he is down 1/2 pound. He loves the food and of course is always ready for more. He is 10 so he has to watch his waistline:)

We’ve only begun switching my chi over to this senior food in the last couple of days but she seems to be handling it very well. The food also seems very fresh and not dried out. I also like the smaller pieces since she has a very small mouth and it able to chew it without any problems.

Read reviews of some pets not taking to this dog food. Fortunately I tried it. My nine year old Boxer likes it better than old food. Mixed with old food for about a week. I saw a big difference in her energy within days. I would recommend trying it.

When I saw that Holistic Select had changed their Senior formula, I was able to get it in time to transition my dog from the old formula to the new one with ease. And she LOVES it! Excellent product, highly recommended.

Good quality food. Good quality ingredients. Right balance of protein and fat for my senior dog, plus extra joint and digestive support. Most importantly, my senior loves it! I would recommend this brand and formula!
