Since receiving a donation of 100 cases of Spot’s Stew for cats and 15 cases for dogs, St. Francis Society Animal Rescue was judicious in deciding which volunteer foster moms and dads got the Halo food.

“We distributed it to people who might have animals in their care who had health issues,” says the Tampa, Florida-based rescue’s president Sharon Espinola, “because we believe the product is much higher quality than what we are able to buy.”

Many of the dogs and cats who enter the rescue are in bad shape and need the proper nutrition found in Spot’s Stew. “It’s a good, pure food, it boosts their immune systems,” says Avril Stern, treasurer of St. Francis and a former Halo sales manager. “They need to get nutrition right away. I know the Halo product and I recommend it constantly.”

Currently, St. Francis has 140 cats and kittens and 10 dogs in foster homes. Two of the dogs who lapped up their Spot’s Stew are brother who were “horribly neglected,” says Espinola. “They were put in a garage to starve,” she says. Now, Chance, the seven-year-old Chocolate lab, and Deke, a pit-bull mix (they had different moms) are thriving.

Most of the rescued dogs and cats come in with some sort of a skin condition. To help, St. Francis buys at wholesale Halo’s Dream Coat for the dogs and Herbal Earwash for the cats. For animals in really bad shape, the rescue’s volunteers use Halo’s X-tra C.

Stern feeds her two house cats Spot’s Stew, which solved a nasty issue. “One of my cats had continuous diarrhea and she doesn’t have diarrhea as long as she eats Spot’s Stew. I believe in the product.”

Halo is initiating a new even-greater-discount program for animal shelters (in addition to our donation program). Please contact ckeller@halopets.com for details or call us at 1-800-426-4256.
