Halo's Spot's Stew for Dogs is an all natural wet dog food that does not have any rendered ("recycled") meat or meat meals, which are legally unfit for human consumption. See the differences between real meat and meat meal. Unlike most other dog foods, Spot's Stew is made under the same standards as human food. Spot's Stew is made with real meat (chicken, beef, salmon, or lamb), farm fresh vegetables and fruits, natural preservatives, and vitamins and minerals.

It also includes prebiotics which are special forms of fiber that stimulate growth and function of beneficial bacteria in the intestine. Prebiotics also block disease-causing bacteria from growing inside your pet.

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)

Excellent Product
I have a purebreed Australian Terrier who is extremely fussy about her food. Originally she would only eat fresh food I cooked for her. After trying just about every prepared food available, she finally will eat one, Halo! When I don't have time to cook for her, this is my go-to food. It's extremely healthy (use the food comparison on this site). You can see the diced up veggies in the food. If you can deal with the price, this is a superior food to feed your 4 legged family member.

Great Food!!
My 15 plus year old dog was refusing to eat anything but chicken. He has liver and kidney problems as well as digestion trouble. He was skin and bones. The vet told me it was his time. I bought this food on a whim to see if he would eat it. He gobbled it down. He has now gained weight, is much more alert and has no more digestive problems. He even loves to go for his walks. I never imagined a food could reverse such a grave situation.

AMAZING!
This is the best wet food I have ever fed my dog! It does not give her nasty gas, it is not stinky, and although it is a little pricey it is soooo worth it. She loves it and I am glad that she is eating something that is actually healthy for her instead of the junk I was feeding her before. Also, since she is white I used to have problems with the other food staining her coat and this does not! LOVE IT!
