Halo Dry Dog Food Best Value

Halo Dry Dog Food

Halo Dry Dog Food

"Spot's Stew" was the first food this company made 20 years ago, when it was unheard of to have a simple recipe that sounded like a human "chicken in the pot" – chicken and a bunch of vegetables. The whole idea of a dog food with recognizable ingredients was revolutionary at the time, but this company stayed the course and now finally the rest of the pet food world has caught up with them. Halo now has several other versions of Spot's Stew with different main protein ingredients. Their devoted following will undoubtedly now enlarge with Ellen Degeneres as part owner of the company.

It wasn’t that long ago that people thought it was ridiculous and wasteful to put organic chicken in a “dog food,” of all things. Many people weren’t willing to pay that little bit more for the vegetables and other high quality ingredients - even if they knew that the company’s profits were all given to animal shelters and charities. Isn’t it amazing that this little organic branch of the philanthropic empire that is Newman’s Own wound up being a trendsetter and setting the bar high for all copycats and competitors? I have to believe that if it weren’t for their example that dries dog food would still be years away from the level of healthy quality food that Newman’s Own Organics pioneered.

This family owned, Texas-based Company makes all its own food with ingredients often from its own ranches and slaughterhouses. The bags have fun names like “Grammy’s Pot Pie” or “Cowboy Cookout” and in addition to the topnotch protein sources; you can see pieces of dried apple, carrots and peas. They now use organic chicken in one flavor and rainbow trout in another. This brand seems to be available in most premium pet food stores and is so popular because the food looks good to people, who also seem to be unanimous about how much their dogs like it.

From what I can tell this is a really delicious kibble because my own dogs devour it when I feed this food (in rotation with others.) It is a family-owned company, which has its own plant in Wisconsin, so you can rest assured about the quality of ingredients, which include duck, chicken and fish meal. This food may be less well known than some of those on the list, but I hope this helps get it the accolades it deserves.

This company also uses protein sources in the form of “meal,” which may sound less appealing than just the word “chicken” or “beef” but actually results in a really high protein level. Another company in Sherburne New York makes this food for By Nature, which is based in New Hampshire.

Another Texas-based dog food, this one is family owned but the food is made for them in a larger pet food manufacturing plant. Nonetheless, the company claims to keep a close eye on production and has high standards for the other ingredients.

This super-premium version of well-known Nutro has whole grains and three different protein sources. They own two production facilities, one on either coast of the United States, presumably for fast and cost-effective shipping, and it does not seem to have affected quality or consistency.

This very popular family-owned dog food used to be sold only in premium pet stores but has just gone into the big box stores like Petco and Petsmart (not really endearing itself to the small stores on which it built its reputation). The food has always been made of quality ingredients produced by three different plants – with the need to produce a much greater volume as they go into the big box stores, one hope they will be able to maintain their standards.

I saw Dick Van Patten open up a can of his food, pull out a fork and eat a big scoop of it on national TV - If its good enough for him, its good enough for my dog. And yes, my dog likes it!
