ASK-THE-VET: A FINICKY CAT

July 19th, 2010 by Dr. Donna Spector

how-to-solve-cat-behavior-problems-5Question: I have a finicky cat that doesn’t want to eat any nutritional canned food, other than the meat byproduct stuff. Can you recommend one you think she might eat?

Answer: I am assuming you have tried the Halo Spot’s Stew for cats….some cats find it a bit too brothy and chunky. I have had success with those picky kitties by putting it briefly in a blender to reduce the chunk size. You can also try heating up the food a bit…some cats really love the aroma that the fresh wholesome ingredients give off.

You can also sprinkle Halo’s protein powder (called Dinner Party) on top to make it more appetizing! Another diet you might try is the Evo 95% canned cat food line. Many of my pickier cat friends like that one.

Hope that helps. Take care.

TRACIE HOTCHNER – LOVELY NOTE FROM LITTLE DOLL

June 24th, 2010 by Tracie Hotchner

catster1I have Daily Tips that pop up on Catster.com… So I commented back to the commenters and got a lovely note from one who calls herself “Little Doll” when she posts.

Little Doll you are doing a great service to be taking care of so many kitties and I salute you. Here are some thoughts on how to make it easier and more affordable…

If you have to use dry (for a variety of reasons) you’ve picked a quality brand so the higher the protein and a named protein source as the #1 ingredient, the less worrisome it is to feed dry food. But it must be without corn, wheat, soy, powdered cellulose (which is SAWDUST!!) etc. I like HALO because they use actual real meat, muscle meat, in their kibble which no other company does.

TRACIE HOTCHNER – A GOOD DRY FOOD FOR CATS

May 27th, 2010 by Tracie Hotchner

catkibbleJane in Lakewood, New York wrote me this simple note that was like a thunder clap for me – I can no longer reject dry cat food for each and every situation. Jane listens to CAT CHAT® and understands everything I have said about the harm of kitty crack.

So the clear winner of any kibble out there is Spot’s Stew. Every bag is sealed with a company’s code of ethics; to do the best they can to nourish the pets of America. Honestly I am kicking myself that I didn’t learn this earlier, because I have three huge dogs who have been eating kibble as a portion of their meals without my knowing the difference between Spot’s Stew and other high-end brands.

PETMD: HALO… AN OFFER YOU CANNOT REFUSE (WEEK 6)

January 5th, 2010 by David Yaskulka

biopic_corsa2Gordi, the real-life Labrador of Haute or Not columnist Rick Tamargo, continues on her fanciful journey. In week six of her transition to Halo, she’s become a Halo evangelist! From Rick’s column:

Then, upon closer inspection, his eyes widened. “Why, Gordi, you do look fabulous! Between the Halo and the exercise routines you’ve transformed. You’re absolutely brilliant.”

I smiled inwardly. Was I making headway? “Well,” I said coyly, “I’ve started a new way of living and it’s changed my life completely — just by changing my diet, Corsa … not that you need to change anything about your appearance—” Corsa waved his paw at me, “Oh, pshaw,” he said, “you know that I know that I need to lose at least a thousand pounds.”

I smiled again, this time outwardly. “Then, Corsa,” I said, “Halo and I have a plan for you too.”

I filled him in on the details of the meal and exercise plan I have been on the last several weeks…

LIMITED TIME HALO SPECIALS – 50% OFF!

October 7th, 2009 by Halo

Short-dated products are on the Halo web site at half price. Of course, these usually sell out extremely quickly, so grab what you can use. Currently available: Liv-a-Littles protein treats, grooming and supplements items, and even some cans of Halo Spot’s Stew. Take a look, and check back often!

Please remember, while these products are wonderful, they are not the same as what you can buy at the store. You’ll find earlier formulas, old labels, or short-dating. Short-dating means that the product will reach its “Best if Used By” date within 1-2 months of purchase.
