Switching Dog Food to Halo?

I want to change my puppy’s kibble to Halo, and I went to the dog food analysis website and it’s not listed there. So I found the ingredients and would love to know if it’s really a high quality food.

Ingredients:
Chicken, pea protein, whole dry egg, oats, vegetable broth, pearled barley, chicken fat (preserved with mixed tocopherols and citric acid), pea flour, chicken liver, salmon, flaxseed, salmon oil (preserved with mixed tocopherols), pea fiber, sweet potatoes, apples, blueberries, green beans, carrots, cranberries, zucchini, alfalfa, inulin, calcium sulfate, potassium chloride, taurine, salt, folic acid, zinc proteinate, iron proteinate, cobalt proteinate, copper proteinate, manganese proteinate, vitamin A supplement, vitamin D3 supplement, vitamin E supplement, choline bitartrate, niacin, pantothenic acid, ascorbic acid, riboflavin supplement, thiamine mononitrate, pyridoxine hydrochloride, lactobacillus acidophilus, bifidobacterium longum, enterococcus faecium, lactobacillus
I’m also really fond of it since it is made here in the US.

Should I really be feeding my dog this?

My vet has me feeding my 8 month old Cockapoo/Bichon mix dry Purina E/N. When I started going there, I had him on all natural food. I can’t help but feel guilty about what I am feeding him now (see ingredients below). Should I stick to the Purina and obey by vet’s orders or not?

Ingredients (Dry)
Brewers rice, corn gluten meal, ground yellow corn, beef and bone meal, coconut oil, animal digest, beef tallow preserved with mixed-tocopherols (source of Vitamin E), dicalcium phosphate, glyceryl monostearate, calcium carbonate, L-Lysine monohydrochloride, potassium chloride, sodium bicarbonate, soybean oil, fish oil, salt, choline chloride, vitamin supplements (E, A, B-12, D-3), zinc sulfate, ferrous sulfate, ascorbic acid, riboflavin supplement, manganese sulfate, niacin, calcium pantothenate, biotin, copper sulfate, thiamine mononitrate, folic acid, pyridoxine hydrochloride, garlic oil, menadione sodium bisulfite complex (source of Vitamin K activity), calcium iodate, sodium selenite.

Would this be possible?

This is just a question so please don’t start yelling and having a fit over it because i’m not going to do it. Anyway I have just acquired a intact male Wolf,Australian Cattle Dog,Coyote mix. The father was a Wolf and the mother was a Coyote/Aussie Cattle Dog mix. If I were to teach him the necessary hunting/survival skills he will need to live in the wild could he be released? Forgot to mention he is 3 1/2 years old.

Where can I find the latest info on Canine liver disease on the web?

I’m specifically looking for the lastest info on diet and supplement treatments and recipes for home-made dog food and treats.
