It is also important to consider the breed of your dog when choosing the food. Larger dog breeds will always require higher levels of nutrients that prevent bone issues and other health problems later in life. Discuss nutrition with your veterinarian if you aren’t sure about the levels of protein your puppy might need.I would recommend Nature's Variety, Wellness, Blue Buffalo, Natural Balance, and Solid Gold.
Anyone heard of Halo dog food?
-
So a friend of mine is getting a puppy next month (mini schnauzer)- and she's considering a dog food called Halo. I had never even heard of this let alone seen it anywhere. She said Petco sells it.
Has anyone had any experience with it? Thoughts?
Give me your thoughts…

They say meats and grains.
My b's don't do well on wheat or corn.
So, maybe this won't work for the b's.
But its hard to find out what exactly is in it.
Me, I read the can… -

Ingredients are not bad.. there is no corn, wheat or "by" products. But this is the first I have heard of it and don't know anyone that has used it….

I love the Halo company in general. I use their Dream Coat for Nik and Stormie in the winter time - it works brilliantly for dry, winter skin. I also use Halo's Spot's Stew canned food on occasion in addition to EVO, Evangers, Cal. Natural, Weruva, and Merricks cans. The pups love it!
Oh, and the ear cleaner is great, too! -
