Holistic Select isn’t a well-known brand around my parts, which is why I was surprised to learn of its apparent quality. The brand is available in chicken, duck, lamb and seafood. It contains a variety of nutrients, taurine for eye and heart health, antioxidants and vitamins. The cost of the food is very similar to the cost of other brands.

I would call it a good grocery store brand, if the price was about 75 percent of where it is now. I think anyone interested in this food would be better off spending their money on Nutro Ultra or Blue Buffalo, though I’m a little biased on that
