Standard measuring cup holds approximately 4.2 oz of Holistic Select Grain Free Senior Health Chicken Meal & Lentils Recipe.
Combination Feeding: If feeding with wet food, reduce dry amount fed by 1/3 cup for every 6.5 oz of wet food.
Looking at the chart, divide the total per day by the total number of times you feed your dog per day to determine the portion size for each meal. Keep a clean bowl of fresh water available at all times. Holistic Select believes in feeding dry and wet food in combination whenever possible to help increase the level of water in your dog’s diet. Every dog is different so optimal feeding amounts may vary with age, size and activity level. Please use this information as an initial recommendation only and adjust as needed.
It is important to slowly transition your dog from his/her current diet as it takes a few days for the body to adapt to the new nutrient levels. To transition, gradually mix in the new food over a 5 - 7 day period, increasing the amount of Holistic Select each day, so that you are feeding 100% Holistic Select by day 7.

I’m sure this is a very high quality food but unfortunately neither of my senior dogs would eat it. I donated it to a friend that has trouble buying food for his dog.

Our 9 yo Boerboel had been on Nutro for years. However ever since Nutro changed its formulas we have been battling finding a Nutro dry dog food that settled well with Joules. He would flat out refuse to eat, have tummy aches, loose stools... After a fair amount of researching further brands I settled on the Holistic Select Senior Health Chicken Meal & Lentils Recipe Dry Dog Food. GREAT CHOICE !! Joules immediately bonded with this choice. Gaining some weight back...no more ribs showing. Lively and happy once again. Highly recommend researching their various formulas for your dog.

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.

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!

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’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.
