Holistic Pet Food would consist of quality ingredients fit for human consumption.
There would be no toxic chemicals added such as MSG to name only one of the potential toxins to look for in commercial pet foods.
Also, gluten seems to be a big problem not only for humans, but for their pets as well. Actually any grain has the potential to irritate your pet's digestive system.
Grains can become contaminated with aflatoxins that can grow on your pet food under the wrong storage conditions.
Pet Food should be Free of these Ingredients:
Gluten
Wheat
Corn
Soy
Flour
Meat by-products
Meat meal
Artificial colors
Artificial flavors
Corn syrup & sugar
Chemical preservatives
MSG
Fillers
I know it's a hassle to check labels, but it is so important to the well being of your pet's health to know what lurks in their pet food!
Look for these Ingredients:
Real Meat
Hormone free Meats
Antibiotic free Meats
Free range eggs & poultry
Wild caught fish
Dehydrated or Raw meats, vegetables, etc.
Quinoa
Brown Rice
Organic fruits
Organic vegetables
Organic herbs
Essential fatty acids
The pet food industry is highly unregulated and I would thoroughly investigate any pet food company before purchasing their food.
Educate yourself about the nutritional needs of your pets and dig deep to find the answers.
I would think that smaller pet food producers would come up with the best pet food or just make your own.
There is even such a thing as dehydrated dog food that may offer more nutrition for your pets than regular dry food.
Shop around and ask a lot of questions about the ingredients used in a pet food that you may be purchasing for your pets.
I think a lot of needless suffering can be avoided by feeding our pets a much more wholesome and whole food diet.
