Why Holistic

Simply put, holistic means all natural.

Holistic pet food is pet food that is made of high quality, all natural ingredients. Nothing artificial is added to the food...no preservatives, no chemicals, no artificial coloring and absolutely no by-products. Premium quality foods allow your pet's body to absorb more nutrition from the natural ingredients. This helps your pet achieve balanced health and wellness. By supplying your pet with holistic nutrition, your pet's body functions more efficiently, develops a stronger immune system and naturally prevents diseases and illnesses.

Your pet relies on your choices for diet and nutrition. We know how important that is to you as a responsible pet owner. We select only lines that deliver quality foods free of preservatives, chemicals, and by products. In the past few years a small number of premium commercial pet food companies have emerged due to the demands of discriminating pet owners like you. These companies have high quality standards and stand in contrast to the mainstream commercial pet food companies who are only interested in maximizing their profits.

All the foods we carry deliver high nutrition content, as well as essential vitamins and minerals for growth, health, and optimum energy. Additionally, the quality protein and nutrient-rich formulas assist in weight management and actually result in less waste. That means less clean up for you! It also means that although the food is more expensive, pound for pound, you are getting more for your money. You will find that your pet will need less food to feel satisfied, there is less waste to clean up, and you should see a reduction in trips to your vet.

 

Penny's Story

Why a holistic pet boutique? Al and I both love animals and have always been surrounded by pets. Sadly, in 2004, Al's beautiful 4 year old Chocolate Labrador Retriever named Penny, succumbed to Lymphoma - a form of cancer very common in dogs. By the time he received Penny's diagnosis, she was already at stage IV and was in a great deal of pain. It came on suddenly and advanced rapidly. From the time he noticed something was wrong with Penny until he got her diagnosis, only one week had passed. He made the difficult choice to end her suffering. Al was devastated. At the time, we did not know this was such a common occurrence in dogs, so we started researching cancer in pets. We discovered a mountain of information about the commercial pet food industry and how the food our pets are eating is literally killing them. This is the "event" that propelled us to embark on a business based on holistic pet nutrition.

 

Helping You Make Better Choices

Many pet parents are confused by all the mixed messages about pet food. Every day, we come across folks who are surprised to learn that the choices they make regarding their pet's food are based largely on "misinformation." So, how do you know what is healthy and safe for your pet to eat? Start with learning how to read nutrition labels. Read our article "How to Read Pet Food Labels*." Once you know what to look for and what to avoid, choosing a healthy pet food is easy.
