This is the best dog food I've found for both of my dogs. It was recommend by my vet as she had a long bout of pancreatitis and requires a low-fat diet with easy digestibility. This dog food is the lowest percentage of fat that I have found at less than 2%(most are at around 8-16%) . As well as nutritious and protein-packed for my 6-month old puppy.
Spot's Stew has no fillers and all-natural human-grade food. The chicken Halo Spot's Stew actually smells like a campbell's soup that I've bought and eaten for myself. My dogs both love it and are always excited to eat their food. It's expensive, but their health is worth it. Highly recommended.

Our puppy is on Halo Spot's Stew and they are a world class company. Just check out their web site and their story. Their food is bar none - the most healthy, nutritious available for your canine.

I have been cooking for my dogs after the dog food scare. When I saw Halo dog food and treats advertised I liked the ingredients. I got a few cans of Spot's Stew chicken and a few cans of Spot's Stew beef. I also got Halo Liv-a-Littles beef and chicken treats. For 2 days I gave them 1 can of chicken and 1 can of beef and they refused to eat it. They also refused to eat the treats. I'm not saying not to try it because it looks healthy. I am just saying this because maybe you should buy a can to see if your dog/dogs like it before you commit to a case of food.

I've been using this product along with the dry food since mid-May 2008 for my mini-schnauzer puppy. She loved it. Then, about 1 month later, she became very ill with something we attributed to toxicity or a bug bite and she miraculously improved, literally overnight, with IV fluids, fasting, and not other treatment. She hadn't been quite right since then.
She started eating her food with less vigor; she used to clean her plate but not any more. She had alternating vomiting and diarrhea episodes, where she became really depressed and, after 2 weeks, she lost the desire to eat or drink and ended up back at the emergency hospital with the same symptoms as the first incident. Her blood work was a disaster: lethal levels of sodium and chloride, high cholesterol, bad kidney function and extremely low glucose levels from the vomiting. She stayed at the hospital for 2 nights (IV fluids the first day only). She was better the next day---the same as the first time. My vet had no clue what it was. He checked for Addison's disease, liver shunts, diabetes insipidus.... nothing. We consulted two other vets, my breeder, my breeder's vet... no one new what was wrong.
The day she left the hospital, her blood work showed vast improvement: sodium down from 200 to 167, glucose up, cholesterol down at least 200 pts (it was about 569 when she came in). I brought her home, fed her Halo food (she love it), fed her again in the morning and, 3 hours later, she crashed again---diarrhea, vomit, depression, drooling.... the same. Took her to the vet again, he gave her fluids and put her on the prescription dog food W/D. I brought her home, fed her, fed her again in the morning, fed her again at night and here I am, the next day, with the energetic puppy I hadn't seen in weeks (she's only 4 1/2 months old). Her blood work is back to normal.
I honestly don't know if it's the Halo dog food that made my dog so sick she nearly died three times in as many weeks (it's hard for me to believe any pet food could cause such a violent reaction) but I needed to put this here in case anyone has had this happen or can offer any insight. These are relatively new formulas so I would just advise anyone with ANY pet food to watch your dog closely for any changes in their behavior---even a month or two after trying a new food--- especially in light of the previous problems with pet food contamination. You really never know so it's better to be safe than sorry, for your pet's sake.

my dogs are raw fed, but on the very rare occasion that I have to board them (most boarding facilities will not feed raw food) this is what we use. it's all natural, human grade foods processed in a USDA kitchen; this absolutely the best canned food you can feed. my dogs love it, and I've never had any problems with them going from raw food to this, and back again.
