Halo Purely for Pets

I cook for my dog Bailey but before I realized I could actually cook for him, (without harming him), I was looking for a dog food that was made like human food with none of the nasty stuff or chemicals. I researched for months.

One of the dog food companies that topped my list was Halo Purely For Pets. At the time they only had canned varieties and I was still brainwashed to think that dogs need dried kibble. Anyway, I called the company to ask a few questions and was shocked that a real person answered the phone and she could actually answer my questions, I didn't have to be transferred or put on hold. Then I bought a few cans to sample. To my surprise, when I opened the can, the food looked unlike any canned dog food I have ever seen, more like the filling of a chicken pot pie than dog food. And it smelled different too, actually good.
The real test was would Bailey eat it. He loved it. I was impressed and while soon after my Halo dog food test I started cooking my own dog food, I keep a few cans of Halo on hand as back up for when I'm in a pinch. I have to admit that I've had to break into my back up stash of Halo on a few occassions. Initially I was concerned that Bailey would snubb the Halo food because he is used to my delicious home cooking. Not the case, he eats it right up and why wouldn't he, Halo is real food.

I still keep up with the Halo company news and saw that Ellen Degeneres purchased a stake in the the company and they expended their product offering to dry kibble in addition to new packaging. I also saw that QVC is now offering Halo's entire product range both on their TV shopping channel and their website. Most recently I saw this great video about the Halo ingredients:

I believe fresh food is the best thing you can do for your dog (or cat) however, I realize that everyone can't do it. So, if you are unwilling or unable to cook choose a food that contains the highest quality ingredients and is as close to home cooked as possible. I think the Halo Purely for Pets product range is a great way to go. Also check out their treats, nutritional supplements, eye and ear care as well as shampoos. (Their Liv-a-Littles freeze dried treats and Herbal Healing Salve continuously receive high marks from all the holistic/natural/organic in-the-know dog community.) This company does it right and I think you will immediately see a difference in your dogs coat, health and attitude.

I've seen Halo at Petco, Whole Foods, QVC and Sunset Foods.

P.S. Halo was NOT part of the 2007 nationwide dog food recall and is made in the USA of all USA ingredients!
