The benefits of natural pet food and supplements have been all over the news lately! Just this morning, the CBS Early Show featured a report on the importance of knowing what ingredients make up your pet’s food.

One woman in the Prairie Wolf Dog Exercise Area in Lake Forest, Illinois told The Early Show’s resident veterinarian, Dr. Debbye Turner Bell, she had “no idea” what’s in her dog’s food. When told the third ingredient was beef byproducts, the woman admitted she didn’t know what that meant and said, “I wouldn’t want to know, I don’t think.” Legally, Bell explains, byproducts can include part of the lungs, brain, blood, stomach and intestines.

The report encourages pet owners to read the ingredients of any food they choose to buy for their pet. To check out Halo’s Spot’s Stew ingredients, which include chicken, carrots, celery, and yellow squash, please read the ingredients list at HaloPets.com.

Furthermore, The Natural Food Merchandiser recently interviewed Halo’s own resident vet Dr. Donna Spector about the positive impact of natural pet supplements on cats and dogs.

Said Spector, “There are literally hundreds of remedies available, for a range of health issues including allergies, arthritis, digestive problems, skin and hair problems, anxiety, liver problems and even protection from inflammatory diseases and cancer through the use of antioxidants.”

You can check out the Early Show report on the CBS website, as well as Dr. Donna’s interview on The Natural Food Merchandiser.
