Holistic Select is transitioning to Wellness
Holistic Select, a natural pet food brand we've known and loved for many years in Australia, is being discontinued from sale at Pet Circle.
Why is Holistic Select being discontinued? The makers of Holistic Select (WellPet) are updating their portfolio distribution, such that this brand will no longer be available through Pet Circle. WellPet produce a sister brand to Holistic Select called Wellness. Both ranges are crafted in the same factory and carry the same ethos of being high quality natural food for cats and dogs. Plus, there is a great wet range to accompany the dry diets within the Wellness range, allowing you to mix up mealtimes for your pet.
Wellness CORE is on a similar tier in terms of quality and ingredients to Holistic Select. Therefore, if you currently feed Holistic Select dry recipes to your pet, we recommend transitioning to the corresponding Wellness CORE product.

Holistic Select and Wellnes CORE are on a similar tier in terms of quality and ingredients. In particular:
- Both are manufactured in exactly the same U.S.A. facility using the same high quality standards throughout the process
- Both use only high quality ingredients from approved suppliers
- Both are free from artificial colours, flavours and preservatives
- Both are free from meat by-products, soy, wheat, and corn
- Both contain guaranteed live probiotics along with fibre and prebiotics to support digestive health
- Both contain options for different life stages and breed sizes
- Both provide a number of protein source options including novel proteins such as fish, duck, turkey, and lamb.
Wellness CORE also offers a wet range to accompany the dry food, plus a cat range of wet and dry foods, too.

4. Transition your pet gradually. A gradual transition of 7 days is recommended for any change of diet.

For detailed instructions on how to transition your pet's food, please see How to Introduce a New Food to Your Pet.
5. Check the daily feeding guidelines. Please note that the recommended feeding rations for new formulas may have changed, so you will need to check the feeding guide on the pack and adjust your daily feeding amount accordingly.
