Daily Greens is a terrific daily supplement for dogs and cats. It helps to maintain your pet’s nutritional balance, digestion, urinary tract strength, and stamina!

You have to read the ingredients to compare this vitamin with other, far-less-natural supplements.

Daily Greens includes:

Concentrated Juice of Young Barley Grass, Romano cheese, Buttermilk, Brewers Dried Yeast, Primary Dried (nutritional) Yeast, Sour Cream, and more!

Top veterinarian Dr. Donna Spector says, “I use this product for my own pets and recommend it to clients/pet owners.” Then she gave us the reasons why:

“Daily Greens:

• • is a complete multi-vitamin and mineral supplement
• • is filled with green healthy foods, herbs, plants and berries!
• • has over 30 different ingredients and include rich anti-oxidants, live enzymes, barley juice, alfalfa juice and even some Romano cheese! Pets love them!!
• • is a tablet that can be given as a treat or crumbled and mixed with the food
• • is a great supplement if you have a plant-eater! Pets tend to eat potted plants and grass to get greens and chlorophyll which are usually missing from their diet. Plants and grasses, as well as the pesticides and fertilizers they are treated with, can be toxic to pets and are best avoided. Use Daily Greens instead to satisfy your pet’s natural instinct!
• • is a healthy and safe supplement to use in all life stages.”

Ashley from Texas wrote in about her dog with a sensitive stomach, and that he vomits frequently. She asks which of Halo’s food would be good for him.

Halo does not make any specific “sensitive stomach” dog food formulas, however, we feel our foods are appropriate for all dogs (even those with touchy tummies!) given the high quality ingredients.

Recent research suggests that it may actually be the size or quality of the protein in most commercial pet foods that causes adverse digestive reactions. Many pets are also sensitive to fillers (like corn and rice) and many adverse reactions (such as gas, bloating and diarrhea) have been linked to these sub-standard pet food contents. Halo foods contain no such fillers!

As always, if you have a pet with a sensitive stomach, transition them to Halo slowly–over 1-2 weeks.
day 1, 2, 3 and 4: 75% old food, 25% Halo
day 5, 6, 7 and 8: 50% old food, 50% Halo
day 9, 10, 11 and 12: 25% old food, 75% Halo
day 13 +: 100% Halo

If at any time during this transition your pet has any digestive upset, return to the previous amount being fed and stay there for a few more days before starting the transition again. Good Luck and keep us posted!

In the network of Adopt A Boxer Rescue foster homes scattered around the Northeast live about 70 homeless dogs eating like kings, thanks to Halo’s recent donation of 5,808 cans of Spot’s Stew.

“The Halo food is invaluable, its high quality helps us to nurture our many sick and neglected dogs back to health,” says Kim Barnett of Madison, Ct., a dog behavior consultant currently fostering two dogs (see photos) for the rescue. “And the food absolutely enables you to open your home to more dogs. Everyone considers their financial condition when they consider fostering a dog.”

The donation couldn’t have come at a better time for the all-volunteer group, says Barnett.

Adopt A Boxer Rescue had been receiving several tons of top quality all-natural food every month from a wholesaling company that could not sell its torn or out-of-date bags, Barnett says. Just before Christmas, the company decided to sell the food to Amish farmers who have puppy mills — inhumane breeding facilities that keep dogs caged their entire lives for the sole purpose of producing puppies.

Ironically, Adopt A Boxer Rescue saves many boxers from the mills, dogs who are ill or who can no longer produce puppies. “They (the farmer) will call us and say, ‘Do you want to come and get this dog in the next half hour before I shoot it?’” Barnett says, noting that many of the dogs saved from the mills are unable to walk well because they have spent their entire lives enclosed in a wire-floored cage. For the company to begin selling the food to the Amish puppy millers “was an emotional slap in the face,” Barnett says.

However, the dogs are more than content with their new menu. There is Eve, the rescue’s white boxer who has a genetic defect preventing her from swallowing properly; when Eve was rescued she looked like a tiny, hairless rabbit. “It’s been a long haul to get her to get weight on,” says Barnett, noting that Eve would oftentimes throw up due to her ailment.

Eve now dines on three large cans of Spot’s Stew a day. “It’s doing wonders for her,” says Barnett. “You want to feed a dog like Eve the least amount of food possible, so the higher the quality the less she needs to eat, and because of the consistency it is easier for Eve to swallow the food. She is getting maximum nutrition in an easy-to-swallow formula.”

Each year, Adopt A Boxer Rescue finds permanent homes for some 400 dogs, and have helped thousands of pups get a new life. The group has dogs up for adoption in Connecticut, Delaware, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, and Vermont.

One of Ellen’s cats was just about bald until she started the kitty on Spots Stew, a transformation that led Ellen to become a partner in Halo, the talk show host says in an interview for TV Guide.

“(She) didn’t have any hair at all on each side when we got her,” Ellen says. “When we started feeding her Spot’s Stew, she just changed, she got a full coat and soft fur.”

Ellen’s huge heart for animals began as a child. Her first rescue was a mockingbird she found at camp. “It was a baby bird that had fallen out of a nest,” says Ellen, who brought the bird back home, nursed it to health, and brought it back to the tree at camp before setting it free. She is now the mom of two dogs and three cats, all rescues.

The results are in and they are impressive (particularly for those of us with fat cats who never lose an ounce). After two weeks of dieting, Jack is once again the biggest loser, with 1.56 pounds — or 9.4 percent — of his original body weight gone; in second is Minky, who has lost 7.6 percent of her body weight (1.13 pounds). All the eight cats have either continued to lose weight or remain the same.

What is the secret for those of us with fat cats?

Most cats should weigh between 9 and 12 pounds, says Dr. Donna Spector, Halo’s veterinary advisor who is conducting the fat cat weight loss challenge at Bideawee. Even if they are starting at 20 to 25 pounds, their ideal weight is likely monumentally lower. There are a few naturally larger and smaller breeds so ask your veterinarian if you need advice on determining your cats ideal weight.

To achieve weight loss to this range, cats need to be given two meals daily and the total calories need to be about 25% less than what a normal, non-obese 9 to 12 pound cat would need to eat to maintain a healthy weight in this range, says Dr. Spector.

Here is a quick guide:

If your cat should weigh 9 or 10 pounds, give her:
Morning: 3.5 ounces of canned chicken Spot’s Stew and 1 tablespoon Spot’s Stew dry Evening: 3.5 ounces of canned chicken Spot’s Stew

If your cat should weigh 12 pounds, give her:
Morning: 3.5 ounces of canned chicken Spot’s Stew and 1 tablespoon Spot’s Stew dry
Evening: 3.5 ounces of canned chicken Spot’s Stew and 1 tablespoon Spot’s Stew dry

If your cat should weigh 15 pounds, give her:
Morning: 3.5 ounces of canned chicken Spot’s Stew and 2 tablespoons Spot’s Stew dry
Evening: 3.5 ounces of canned chicken Spot’s Stew and 1 tablespoon Spot’s Stew dry

The dry foods can be used interchangeably as the calories are similar. Dr. Spector recommends the canned chicken Spot’s Stew because it has the lowest calories of our canned foods and is best for weight loss.

Monitor your cat’s progress with weekly weights. They should lose 1-2% of their original body weight every week. If they are losing slower than this, you will have to restrict calories further. If they are losing quicker than this, you will have to add a few calories back in.
