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".
Weruva - Kurobuta Hero - Organic Turkey & Kurobuta Ham - Canned Premium Dog Food
100% Meat exclusive of guar and vitamins/minerals - GRAIN FREE
We’ve put a little flare into this organic turkey formula by adding in Kurobuta Pork, a Japanese delicacy that is regarded as the highest quality pork in the world. Also known as Berkshire Pork, and often referred to as the Kobe Beef of pork, Kurobuta (translated as black hog) has superior marbling and is darker and richer than ordinary pork, giving it superior texture and flavor. Kurobuta also provides a safe and natural feeding alternative as it is fed organic foods and is raised in a hormone and antibiotic free environment.

I did not expect the product to be so liquid...the flavor variety is very good but the lack of texture...the consistency of water might work as an additive to dry dog food.
2. Catherine on 6/30/2009, said:
This is really "wet" and soupy. My dogs ate it (minus the buffalo and the salmon) but it was pretty messy. I am sure it is excellent food, but I give it a 3.
3. Mary on 5/26/2009, said:
I was very pleased with the quality of the food as well as the timeliness in which I received my order. Will be placing another order shortly as I was also given a 10% off coupon. Very impressive service!
4. Kimberly on 4/26/2009, said:
All were great with the exception of the Tripe. My dogs loved it, but the smell was overpowering. I threw out that can!
5. Christine on 3/17/2009, said:
Love the variety pack, makes it easy to rotate protein. All are wonderful although my girls have a preference for the tripe, of course.
Before Grain is a return to your dog’s ancestral diet while recognizing it’s modern day urban lifestyle. It contains meat protein sources, healthy fruits, and vegetables - no grains, fillers, by products, artificial colors, flavors, or preservatives. Complete with a 32% baseline that is a practical and balanced percentage for the everyday diet that is more optimally processed by sensitive internal organs such as the kidneys. Contains about 38% meat after cooking removes most of the water content.
How much food your dog eats each day is dependent upon size, level of activity, stage of reproduction, and environment. When feeding in measured amounts, feed according to the weight of your dog.
I put my 4 year old boxer on this food after she gained weight on another brand ( it was very high protein and high fat). This dog runs with me approximately 25 miles per week, so she needs quality nutrition. The Before Grain meets her nutritional needs while allowing her to maintain a more healthy weight. And best of all- she loves it!
3. Betsy on 7/27/2009, said:
My dog likes it. Packaging is excellent. So far I'm very pleased
4. Diane on 6/29/2009, said:
My dog wasn't eating her food and when I switched to this she has been very happy and good bowels.
5. Judie B. on 2/2/2009, said:
I am feeding three boxers and they do seem to enjoy this food. I wish though that it did not have Chicken in it....chicken is very high on the allergy scale. I am pleased though that there is no grain.
The packaging is great...a zipper!!! Kudos to the brain who pushed the idea through to management.
