HOLI Plant-Based Superfood Kibble: What's the Deal?
When choosing a food for your dog, especially a picky dog, there is so much to consider, and so many opinions from all types of animal professionals. We’re not sure if we should listen to the vet, the trainer, the rescue or breeder, the groomer, or the manager at the pet store. Is someone getting commission from the dog food companies? What makes a good dog food?
We’re going to tell you today why our food is a great choice for picky pups and food gobblers alike!
A picky eater with food sensitivities named Bandit inspired us to create HOLI.
We learned a lot about food sensitivities and allergies. Some dogs don’t do great with chicken, and that can make for a hard time finding both treats and food. In fact, animal proteins are actually the main type of allergen a dog can have. Looking at ingredients, most foods have some kind of chicken byproduct, or chicken meal, even if they’re marketed as a salmon recipe!
We wanted to change that and make it easy for pet parents to choose a food that tastes delicious, gives variety, and offers help to those struggling with belly and skin issues.
HOLI kibble is meat-free, packed with superfoods, and not with any animal proteins.
The kibble was designed by a veterinary nutritionist, ensuring safety, health, and a complete and balanced diet.
The food is meant to be used with our freeze-dried protein toppers like beef, salmon, or rabbit. For protein sensitive dogs, HOLI Superfood base is a non-allergenic complete and balanced meal. Free of animal proteins that can cause a reaction. For picky pups, it offers the ability for taste variety, which helps them stay intrigued and looking forward to their meals, just change the topper and you have a whole new food! And without any tummy troubles.
