We value the recipes we developed for Holistic Select® cat food, but unfortunately consumer demand has not met expectations. As a result, the Holistic Select® cat food line is being discontinued. If your cat currently eats Holistic Select dry or wet formulas, we recommend switching to Wellness® cat foods—specifically the Wellness Complete Health® line, or Wellness CORE® for grain-free, protein-focused options.
Wellness Complete Health® and Wellness CORE® are created by the same team behind Holistic Select® and follow a similar holistic approach to support digestion and whole-body wellbeing. Both brands emphasize high-quality proteins, essential fatty acids, and functional ingredients such as prebiotics, probiotics and dietary fiber to support digestive health, immune function, skin and coat, and overall vitality.
- Wellness Complete Health for Cats: balanced recipes that combine premium proteins and targeted nutrients to support cats at different life stages and meet varying nutritional needs. Formulas include pre- & probiotics and fiber for digestion, antioxidants for immune health, balanced nutrients for energy, and controlled mineral levels for urinary tract support.
- Wellness CORE for Cats: a grain-free, protein-rich selection packed with meaty flavor and nutrient-dense ingredients. CORE formulas are fortified with antioxidants, omega fatty acids, and probiotics to help maintain a healthy immune system, skin and coat, and gastrointestinal function for active cats.
All Wellness cat recipes provide high-quality protein and essential fatty acids and are made without wheat, corn, soy, meat by-products, artificial flavors, colors, or preservatives. Many recipes deliver guaranteed levels of prebiotics and probiotics and include chicory root extract alongside soluble and insoluble fibers to promote comfortable digestion.
Below are specific Wellness Complete Health recommendations that correspond to common Holistic Select products. These suggestions are intended to help you find comparable nutrition and flavors as you transition your cat to Wellness.
If you have questions about these recommendations or need additional information, please contact our Consumer Affairs team by email at [email protected] or by phone at 800.225.0904, Monday–Friday, 8am–5pm ET.
Dry Recipe Recommendations
If your cat currently eats Holistic Select dry recipes, we recommend transitioning to Wellness Complete Health dry formulas. To reduce the risk of digestive upset, gradually mix the new food with the current diet over 5–7 days, increasing the Wellness portion until your cat is fully on the new formula by Day 7.
