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.

She eats it
By Toki on Mar 17, 2021
Puppy was reluctant at first but now eats it normally throughout the day. She always has a little bit of a fishy smelling breath but her tan coat is gorgeous and shiny! She also doesn't itch all the time after switching from the pedigree puppy food that the breeder had her on. To anyone unable to get their dog to eat this I recommend to wait it out. They'll eat eventually.

Yorkie Pup Adjusting
By Melanie on Jul 1, 2020
I had my miniature dachshunds on Holistic Select when they were alive. It is a healthy dog food and good for pets with health issues. I switched my yorkie pup to this when I got him and initially he was not liking it. I added one pellet of the Instinct Raw Boost Mixer Skin & Coat Health to it and he has come around. He now will eat it right up. My cat loves the Instinct Raw Boost too!

Helped my sensitive Boston Terriers tummy issues
By DogZilla on May 4, 2020
I did tireless research when we adopted our Boston Terrier pup, he had a really sensitive tummy and digestive issues, after a prescription diet and some rx probiotics got him somewhat better I found this and it worked beautifully. He never snubbed the food, I followed the directions of adding warm water until I realized it was no longer necessary. I am now considering switching him to the Holistic Select puppy food not specific to breed size because my 7 month old pup is 20.7 pounds which is outside the feeding chart weight. Would love some advice on this!

My pups didn’t like this.
By terry on Jun 26, 2020
This product does have good ingredients. My pups just wouldn’t eat it. They are both 8 months. They are going through a finicky stage that is why I am trying small bags of different brands and flavors.

Unsure about the grain-free though
By Mario 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.
