What are the Pros and Cons of Precise Holistic Formula?
Learning the Pros and Cons of cat food will help you with more information to decide if this formula is what you want for your feline:
PROS
- All life stage formula
- No by-products
- Real Meat proteins
- Wholesome carbohidrates
- Balanced fatty acids (Omegas)
- Probiotics and Prebiotics
- Cell protectors for the immune system
- Herbals and botanicals
- Supplements and antioxidants
- GMO-free ingredients
CONS
- It informs some of the 11 essential aminoacids cats need in food nutritional analysis.
- It contains brown rice which does not add many proteins.
- Availability to find it in stores.
CONCLUSION
Precise Holistic Chicken Adult Formula is a good dry cat food that balances high concentrated sources of proteins with not very high proteins ingredients, such as brown rice.
The largest proportional content of cat food is within the first 5 ingredients, however, I consider the first 3 to rate a cat food. This is because the first 3 ingredients show best the quality of the proteins. Considering its 3 main ingredients, the average rate of this cat food it’s 3. Taking down 1/2 of a star because it has carbohydrate in the first ingredients, the final rate it’s 2.5 which is not excellent.
Very Important Point: Dry cat foods don’t provide enough water to cats and they must be complemented with canned wet food and giving cats plenty of water at all times. The cat’s water intake must come from food and water.
BOTTOM LINE
Precise Holistic Complete is good cat food for a cat maintenance diet, but it does not inform the 11 essential amino acids in the food’s nutritional analysis and it contains grains (though they are gluten-free grains). With that said;
√ I recommend Precise Holistic formula
- In a mixed diet with dry and wet cat food high in proteins.
- Feeding your cat Precise Holistic Complete Formula “Wild at Heart River Line”, because it’s recommended for cats with candida/yeast problems.
- For a very active cat that needs energy from food.
X I don’t recommend Precise Holistic Dry formula:
- If you don’t want any carbs in your cat’s diet.
- For overweight cats
- For non-active indoor cats
- If you want a cat food containing all the essential amino acids.

Brijane Hills says
please tell me which food to feed my cat. needs away time from chicken and turkey and duck. many make her sneeze and itchy eared. I am burned out and close to break down.
Lorena Ávila says
Hello Brijane, the dry cat food “Wild Calling Rabbit & Sweet Potato” doesn’t contain chicken turkey or duck. However, this formula contains “turkey fat” as the 5th ingredient. Hopefully, turkey fat won’t affect your cat. Hope that helps!
Anne Katona says
I am trying to locate a store or somewhere to purchase the Pricise Holistic complete dry cat food in or around the Reno, NV area. Would you please email me a list of places that carry this product? I have tried Chewy.com and they never seem to have the product in stock – maybe they do not carry the product any longer?
Thank you for your help and thanks from my four footed friends too!
Lorena Ávila says
Hello Anne, it seems like the product is discontinued. I did a good research too and I couldn’t find it. I am sorry I couldn’t help you more.

I bought cases and on my last case of the Precise holistic complete flaked beef formula in gravy canned cat food. Emailed a district manager to find out if any more was going to be made. He said they are working on a “distribution issue” (early in 2019) and was not sure when it would be back on the shelf. My cats do not like the chicken and I won’t feed them anything with fish since it would be a daily consumption. What other brand of canned cat food comes close to the Precise holistic complete beef can food?
Lorena Ávila says
Hello Janet, I noticed the formula you mentioned contains Carrageenan which is a bad ingredient, it causes inflammation and chronic inflammation leads to cancer. I would not feed your cats that food again on a daily basis. There is a chicken-free wet food beef based cat food that I suggest you to try, the Wild Calling Pet Foods Cowabunga 96% Beef Cat Food. One thing is that its consistency is like a paste. I don’t know if your cats will like this consistency, if they do, it would be excellent because this is a good cat food with no artificial ingredients and made in the USA with products from the USA. Hope that helps!

Hello,

Thank you, Sherrie
