Combination Feeding: If feeding with wet food, reduce dry amount fed by 1/8 cup for every 2 tbsp of wet food.
As puppies grow up, they need to learn when, where and how to eat. Depending on age, puppies should be fed at the same time and in the same place, 2 - 4 times per day. Food should be removed after 20 minutes, if not eaten. In the beginning, puppy’s food can be moistened with a little warm water. Looking at the chart, divide the total per day by the total number of times you feed your puppy 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 puppy’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.
The best way to transition onto a new food is to gradually introduce the food by mixing it with the old diet. Mixing the food will allow the dog to acclimate to the new taste and not overindulge on the new food. 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.
When food transition is not an option, there are a few ways to ensure a good transition:
- Feed multiple, smaller volume meals. This will decrease the likelihood of over-consumption and provide for a more consistent, firm stool. This is an especially good option for puppies and senior dogs.
- Add clean warm water to the food to help soften it.
- Add a digestive aid such a boiled brown rice or sugar-free canned pumpkin.

Unsure about the grain-free though
By Maia on Aug 27, 2019
My puppy loves this stuff! He eats it up right away, I had him on Science Diet at the start but I didn’t like how it had so much corn in it. I’ve heard bad things about grain-free diets though, so when he is an adult I will switch him over to grain-inclusive Holistic Select.

Great for mini puppies or dogs
By Yorkiemommy47 on Apr 13, 2018
I ordered this food for a three pound rescued puppy mill yorkie. Because he eats small amounts of food, it is imperative that he have a well balanced, quality food. This food has 35%crude protein, plus many essential ingredients.

Excellant product
By Juan1 on Oct 16, 2017
My two chihuahuas are 5 months old. When I brought them home from the breeder I added this product to the cereal they were on at the breeder. I liked the components and that it helped digestion. They like it and it has helped their digestive issues. Perfect size and hardness for small puppies with baby teeth.

She's finally eating dry food!
By PenelopesMommy on Oct 7, 2017
I have a picky little girl who hasn't been a fan of dry foods but she's actually eating this one from her bowl! I've coaxed her into eating other kibble by putting it in a treat ball but when I'd put it in her food bowl she'd snub it. We've been through a few brands but looks like this is the one for us

One Sniff and Walked Away
By psconnie on Nov 6, 2017
I think that this is very good dog food just my new puppy took one sniff and walked away. I emailed WellPet and suggested they make another flavor for puppies...

Great food
By Joelle on Jul 23, 2017
My chihuahua puppy has been super picky about any food I get for her, but she LOVES this food. The kibbles are really small and perfect for her little mouth. I've also noticed improvement in her stool. She's had some constipation issues, but this food has really made a difference in the appearance of her stool. I am definitely a fan.
