Ingredient Review

Our review of Halo Holistic Healthy Weight Grain-Free Turkey begins with a detailed look at the food’s ingredients.

The first ingredient is Turkey. Turkey is an easily digested meat that’s relatively low in fat. In pet food, turkey might be the primary protein source or it may be part of a blend made with different proteins.

The second ingredient is Dried Peas. Dried peas are dried seeds from any edible pea plant species. The dried peas in pet food are typically ground to provide a source of plant-based protein, fiber, and other important nutrients.

The third ingredient is Dried Chickpeas. Dried chickpeas are dehydrated legumes. Also known as dehydrated garbanzo beans, the dried chickpeas in pet food serve as a source of protein and fiber, as well as some grain-free carbohydrates.

The fourth ingredient is Dried Egg Product. Dried egg product can refer to dried or dehydrated egg white, yolk, or shells, or a combination of all three. The dried egg product found in pet food is a good source of healthy, easily digested protein.

The fifth ingredient is Dried Lentils. Dried lentils are legumes. In pet food, dried lentils are a source of protein, fiber, and nutrients including a number of essential vitamins and minerals.

When we analyzed the ingredients in Halo Holistic Healthy Weight Grain-Free Turkey, we found that most of the protein is derived from meat based sources.

Nutritional Analysis

Your adult dog needs a balance of macro and micronutrients to thrive. A food formulated for adult maintenance or all life stages is made to meet these needs. While there can be a lot of variation in actual calorie density, adult dog foods are generally intended to provide for basic calorie needs of the average active dog. In addition to satisfying their energy needs, these foods provide the protein, fat, carbohydrates, fiber, and other nutrients your adult dog needs to survive. Again, not all adult foods are the same, so you may have to search around for the right fit for your dog.
