Whether it’s pet food or human food, many of us are confused over the differences in these definitions. Organic is a farming method in which crops are grown on land that is free of chemicals, fertilizers and pesticides. According to the USDA, these can be "100% Organic," "Organic" (contains 95 percent organic ingredients) and "Made With Organic Ingredients" (contains at least 70 percent organic ingredients). Natural means the ingredient was grown without additives or preservatives. The soil in which these plants are grown isn't considered. Natural products are not federally regulated, so they may contain synthetic ingredients. Holistic is an integrated approach to the whole body and mind together. It’s not a definition as to how ingredients are sourced. I found that my dogs like Life's Abundance www.holisticpetcompany.com and they have really good products.
