Did you know 70% of a dog’s immune system lies in the digestive tract? A healthy digestive tract does more than just process food.
The 3 primary functions of your dog’s digestive system are:
1. Digestion of Food
2. Absorption and distribution of nutrients
3. Prevention of disease and infection
An unhealthy digestive tract could contribute to health issues for your dog, such as:
1. Causing waste to build up in the colon, resulting in poor nutrient absorption
2. Weakening the immune system resulting in poor health
3. Causing a range of health problems from common digestive issues to more serious illnesses
Holistic Select pet food is based on the holistic philosophy that all parts of the body are interconnected. Digestive health lies at the core of whole-body health and is a foundational principle of holistic nutrition.
When the digestive system isn’t working properly, toxins that should be excreted instead travel into the blood stream and throughout the body. That is why Hippocrates, the father of modern medicine, said “all disease begins in the gut.”
Holistic Select is the only brand of holistic pet food that delivers a complete digestive health balance system, with guaranteed enzymes in addition to probiotics, prebiotics, digestive botanicals and natural fiber. This proprietary blend of select, active ingredients works together to promote whole-body health, immunity and vitality through optimal nutrient absorption and digestive regularity.
