I'm surprised Halo isn't listed in my latest Whole Dog Journal's "Top Dog Foods For Total Wellness". I wonder why? The ingredients look great.

Not sure but dogfoodadvisor ranks it very highly. My dogs have been on it for years and I am a very happy customer. Their coats are silky and soft, they are very "regular" with no gas, and they LOVE it!

I suspect that it just isn't widely known. Another thing that has made me happy with them is that they have NEVER had a pet food recall and all ingredients are made in America.

Chris, the nutritional breakdown is on the label. I've never tried to find it on the internet though. I was introduced to this product by a friend who's dog has cancer. It has helped my old dogs very much!

Thank you for posting this. I didn't know that this was happening so I checked with the company. They did, indeed, confirm that they are switching to chicken byproduct meal, although they insist that they are using only "clean" byproducts. I do not wish my dogs to eat any byproducts at all so I will not be using this dog food any more. It's a shame that they feel they need to cheapen their great product to make more money.

I just posted the nutrition facts as one of the product images. If you have any further questions please let us know!

The bag does not list the source of the ingredients. There's an excellent premium dog food that list the source of their ingredients. Champion Pet Foods makes two separate brands of dry dog food (that I know of). One is Orijen (my dogs did not like it), and the other is Acana (this is the one that I bought for my dogs). However, I do not know if they make a low calorie food, which is what my dogs need (one of them is pleasantly plump :-). If your dogs do not have a weight problem, I would strongly suggest that you give Acana a try. It is very rich in protein, which is excellent for young dogs, but not for older ones, as they do not need as much protein and can gain weight as a result. Good luck!

Would be difficult to come up with a percentage. By I have the bag right in front of me, and from what I can read just about every "food" source is identified as organic. That is, organic chicken, soybean meal, canola oil as a binder, peas, carrots, brown rice, cranberries, parsley,...on and on. Beyond that there are numerous vitamins and mineral additives for good health, iron, zinc, V-B, V-A, rosemary extract, lecithin, calcium, thiamin, V-D3, taurine, dehydrated lactobacillus, etc. etc. It's no wonder this food costs a few dollars more compared to the crap I see when I read even most of the "Science Diet" bags. All I know is that my 14 year old Siamese loves it, and despite being fed just four hours ago she's now up hear on the desk, lured by the odor only she can detect from another room. We've gone from frequent vomiting of fur and food here and there, to rare occasions - less than one a month. Who knows what I'll save on carpet cleaning supplies! Does that help?

I have used several dog foods through the years, this dog food is great and the best so far. As mentioned you need to keep an eye on portion control because my dog eats half of what she use to and her weight is healthy. Her over all health is good, coat great no allergy reaction. My dog has sensitive skin.

I personally love it! It ranks very high on my list in terms of quality. I feed it to my German Shepherd (with s very sensitive stomach) and my Patterdale Terrier. Both love it and do great on it.

Halo will make the dogs coat shinny and you will not have to worry about the shedding. It is in a class of its own! The first ingredient is real meat and my dog loves it! Before using Halo my dog was shedding a lot, its been four years now and he will not eat anything else. I have tried other brands ( science diet) and he does not like it. I used the science diet in the garden and yard as organic fertilizer.

You are so correct. I realised it after I bought it. In fact, most of the ingredients in it are nothing but junk. You have no idea how pissed I was that deceptive labeling trying to push chemicals and preservation. I did some research and found a website www.onlynaturalpet.com. customer service 888-937-6677. They sell a product called Only Natural Super Daily Canine multi-vitamins item #999010. 270 tablets for $31.99.This is why in cases like these I'm very suspicious and cautious of anything that's made in the USA. One must really research...Its great to see that other people are becoming aware of deceptive labeling not just for our pets but for our food also. I hope this info helps. You are so correct.

I don't think that Wellness is related to Diamond Pet Foods. Here is the link to the Wellness web page. They have a link that allows you to contact them and ask questions. http://www.wellnesspetfood.com/index.aspx

I don't know why yours says that. My says "Natural food for dogs". It is Blue Wilderness Salmon Recipe.

I called pedigree and talked to them and they said, they stopped making them , because not enough got sold. That's why they discontinued them. It helped out my dog a lot and now I have to hunt down something else. This is how it always works, the good stuff gets discontinued and the not so good stuff sticks around forever.

I personally rotate proteins for my mutts. Not only for variety, but their health as well. My vet and local pet shops have suggested this to me in the past.

Thanks, Kathryn!It is hard to find those things without a lot of research. Thanks for taking the time. I usually don't order stuff that is not straight about its ingredients.Rick
