    Our dog Lexi, just turned 11 years old. She is a Australian Labradoodle (medium size).
    Before we switched to Halo she had become very finicky over brand X which she just stop eating. The vet, said make sure you are feeding her grain free, and we were. Switching to Halo has given her a new spark and she only gets fed twice a day. We are so glad she loves the Adult Grain-free Halo Elevate Red Meat Sweet-
    Potato. The best example of Lexi is; I take her on all my visits to the main (Big Box stores where she is allowed) while on her leash people will stop too want to pet her
    and ask can I pet your puppy, I just tell them she loves to be petted. Thank goodness we switched.
