Most pets require 7 to 10 days to adjust to new pet food. Below is a general guideline on how to transition your dog from the old food to Halo.
•
Days 1-3 75% old food, 25% Halo (if feeding a combo: 50% canned and 50% dry)
•
Days 4-5 50% old food, 50% Halo (if feeding a combo: 50% canned and 50% dry)
•
Days 6-7 25% old food, 75% Halo (if feeding a combo: 25-50% canned and 50-75% dry)
•
Days 8+ 100% Halo (25-50% canned and 50-75% dry Halo)
Tip: If you have a puppy with a sensitive stomach, transition even more slowly (over 2 to 3 weeks) to avoid digestive upset.

Delivered to my door
I just wanted to write a quick review to say how pleased I am with the food and the method of delivery. I can't find this food locally and having it delivered to my doorstep is the easiest thing ever. My new "pound puppy" eats anything I put in front of him, but you can tell this food is great when it comes out, much better than the junk I was unknowingly feeding before. Same price as the Halopets.com website, and free shipping, I wish had thought of this sooner.

I'm very sorry, we do not have pet food samples. However, we do have an unconditional product guarantee, so if it turns out your furry buddy does not like the food, simply contact us for a refund.
The ash in pet food is a measurement of the minerals in the pet food - it is the minerals left over after any food is completely incinerated (after the protein, fat and carbohydrates are burned away). This is part of the nutritional analysis of the dog food.
