Today, the choice of feed in specialized stores is huge. Understand this diversity is not easy, especially if the package contains the word "holistic", which is unknown to many, and it is unclear what advantages or disadvantages this or that composition has. In this article we will present you cat food-holistic. The rating of this product is made up of many publications devoted to the subject of keeping pets. We want to supplement the list with the description of the composition, the availability of useful substances and disadvantages, if any.

Features of feeds

The term "holistic" originated from the word "holism" (in translation from Greek - "whole", "full"). Holism, in turn, is a worldly philosophy, implying the idyll and unity of the world around, the human soul and body. The principle of this philosophy was formed by Aristotle, and it sounds like this: "The whole is more than the sum of its parts."

Feeds-holistics for cats, the rating of which we present to you today, are products that occupy leading positions in sales, reviews of specialists and owners of animals. They are as close to cat food as possible in natural, natural conditions.

Holistiches contain only fish or meat. Much less often, the composition includes quality offal. But cereals, due to which the producers of less quality fodders cheapen their products, they do not.

Benefit Holstics

Most of the food-holistics contain about 70% of the selected meat or fish, there are products in which this figure reaches 95%. Such products are manufactured using a special technology based on minimal heat treatment. Thanks to this, many useful substances are stored in ready-made formulations.

Korma holistics are considered to be professional nutrition. They are ideal for feeding thoroughbred, exhibition and pedigree animals, although many fans have transferred their pets to these feeds. Holistic does not contain flavorings, preservatives, flavor enhancers. The product is preserved due to its natural preservatives - rosemary, vitamins E and C.

Features of the composition of feed

We have already said that the basis of any holistic is natural meat or fish. These products are a priority for cats in the wild. However, for a harmonious development of one meat is not enough for them. When a wild cat, the ancestor of our pets, caught game, in the first place he ate the contents of the intestines and stomach. It always contained at least a small amount of plant food, which was also necessary for the animal. Therefore, forage-holistic consist of such important components as fruits, vegetables, useful herbs, berries. Lentils, peas or brown rice are added to some formulations. But their quantity is strictly dosed and does not exceed 10%.

Cost of Holistic

Considering all the above, it can be concluded that the arguments in favor of these feeds are really impressive. Therefore, it is quite natural that they are more expensive than many advertised products. Their price ranges from 600 rubles per 400 grams to 7500 rubles for a large package of 7 kilograms.

But if you consider the high level of digestibility of these feeds, which ensures saturation of the animal with less quantity of the product, and calculate its consumption, it will not be too expensive. A high-quality holistic feed allows you to pay money for quality and natural ingredients. Therefore, when purchasing such compounds, do not be lazy to read the composition indicated on the package. Responsible feed manufacturers indicate all their ingredients on their products.
