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…
Here's what they list for the dry food chicken:

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!

What is Dream Coat? Is it an oil you put on their food?
