Holism (from ὅλοςholos, a Greek word meaning all, entire, total) is the idea that all the properties of a given system (biological, chemical, social, economic, mental, linguistic, etc.) cannot be determined or explained by the sum of its component parts alone. Instead, the system as a whole determines in an important way how the parts behave.
The general principle of holism was concisely summarized by Aristotle in the Metaphysics: "The whole is more than the sum of its parts".

My three dogs did very well on this food and seem to enjoy it.

Both of my dogs and my cat like this food. It is very thick and the ingredients are mixed up evenly, unlike some foods that have whole pieces of veggies in them that my pets don't like. I bought this because it is such an eco-friendly product and I will buy it again because it is an excellent qualty and palatable to my pets.

My Aussie absolutely loves this food and does really well on it. I alternate between this and Honest Kitchen (also from K9Cuisine) to help manage the costs. I recommend this as the main food for my friends with small dogs. Awesome food!

I switched Abigail from Timberwolf Organics to Addiction foods. She has had no tummy problems at all during the transition. Since she is a big girl, the dehydrated formula is her "treat" mixed with her dry food in the evening.
4. Frances on 9/7/2009, said:
This is a real palate pleaser. Jeni licks her plate over and over. She loves the venison and fig food. I love how she loves it and how she is enjoying her food.
I plan on ordering more.....

I have been experimenting with making my own homemade raw meals for my Bernese Mountain Dog, but nothing seems to give her so much energy and lift as Addiction dog food. Right now the biggest winners seem to be the ones with brushtail like New Zealand Forest Delicacies and Perfect Summer Brushtail.

again, my shiba loved this food - she would start salivating when she saw me dish out and mix up this food. she seemed to like this flavor best above all the others i ordered. i also like how it is hypoallergenic, as she tends to have some food allergies (thankfully, not severe). between the dehydrated food and her kibble, i hope to see a significant change in her weight. her poop is always smaller and much less smelly being on this than her old food.
