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 SHIPOO DIDN'T LIKE THIS FOOD THAT MUCH. WHEN I PUT THE WELLNESS FISH WET FOOD ON TOP WOULDN'T HARDLY TOUCH IT. BUT THE CAT LOVED IT. I THINK HE JUST DOESN'T LIKE FISH. BUT WHEN I PUT DUCK,CHICKEN OR ANY OTHER WET FOOD BY WELLNESS OTHER THAN FISH HE EATS IT. HE WILL EAT IT BY ITSELF OK BUT KINDA PICKS AT UNTIL HE KNOWS HE NOT GETTING SOMETHING ELSE. SO MAKE SURE YOU DOG LIKES FISH BEFORE YOU BUY THIS. IT PROBABLY IS A GOOD DOG FOOD FOR DOGS WHO LIKE FISH AND IS NOT PICKY.HE PREFERS THE SMALL BREED FORMULA BY WELLNESS ALOT MORE THAN THIS -WHICH IS A LOT CHEAPER THAN THIS.

3. Nycolle on 9/29/2009, said:
I have been feeding my 14 month old Pyrenees a blend of Fromm Surf & Turf supplemented with fresh organic ground beef or chicken since they were 3 months old. I was very concerned about maintaining a slow steady growth rate in my pups and these feeds have worked beautifully. I have recently added Viva La Venison to their diet in conjunction with the Surf & Turf and organic fresh meats. They love this and are adapting well. Great coats, no allergies, no bloat or stomach problems and they are healthy, satisfied and continuing on their controlled steady growth.

I switched Abigail from Timberwolf Organics to the Addiction venison formula and the transition was seamless. No tummy problems at all. She is doing very well and I plan to continue with Addiction foods.

I mix this with Embark and Force so I don't really know how much the dogs like it by itself. I like the ingredients.

I try to be very well informed regarding dog food ingredients, i'm a pet groomer and boarding kennel owner and often discuss pet foods with clients.
This is the best product i've found for our 2 dachshunds and small poodle, no one has itchy skin anymore. Not even the Chinese Crested.
Very convenient to use, it smells wonderful.

5. Alissa on 6/16/2009, said:
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.

This was perfect in every way!! They loved it and easy to mix and feed to them. My dogs had very bad skin problems, and they are doing so much better. Their fur feels silky. NO more scratching!! Yeah!! They only problem is that K9 is allways out of stock on this product.

4. Deborah on 8/14/2009, said:
Pricey, but worth it if you have dogs suffering severe food allergies. Our yellow lab/golden retriever mix siblings were on this for about a month and the improvement was dramatic. We mix it now with a completely raw diet as they grew to dislike the consistency (it's a powder basically) and served wet or dry, they lost their desire for it; however mixed with the raw food daily they eat it just fine. And the licking/itching is now gone - as well as the female's frequent ear infections. Great stuff!

Less veggies than I would have thought (mostly beef), but my dog LOVES it. I was a bit afraid, as her stomach is ridiculously sensitive, but no problems at all! My next order is for a whole case! I stir half a can into a cup of the Wenaewe dry food for her dinner, and she's a huge fan.
