holistic pet food is free wheat gluten’s and fillers it is usually made with a meat(lamb chicken beef etc.) that are free of growth hormones or antibiotics and have variety of veggies that are grown w/o pesticides are all organic. i hope this was the answer you were looking for.
It usually means it is all natural and free of preservatives.
However, you should not judge a food just because it says “holistic”. Read the ingredients! The word “holistic” is not approved by the FDA and, therefore, almost anyone can throw on the word “holistic” just to make you pay a few dollars more for shabby pet food. The same is true with “human grade”.
“Organic” and “natural” are words approved by the FDA.
holistic is human grade food. has nothing to do with being “natural”. it means the ingredients address the “whole” animal’s wellbeing – not just its hunger
