Blogger Gorgeous and Green’s dog could not find a food that would sit well with his stomach. Until, that is, she discovered Halo:

“…I thought I would give it a try,” she writes. “Once my dog started eating this food, I noticed a big difference right away. He was a healthy and happy dog. He no longer has fatigue, or Tummy troubles, or vomiting. He now has more energy to do his normal daily exercise, and he looks and feels Great!”

Here is the link to the entire blog post.

Halo began in 1986 by giving away wholesome, holistic pet food recipes to animal lovers desperate to help their four-legged family members. It’s part of our mission to make that information available, and we’ll never stop. So if you haven’t seen our recipes, be sure to visit our web site for free holistic pet food recipes!

You’ll even find the recipe for our flagship product, Halo Spot’s Stew, so you can make it at home.

We believe that ideally, pets should eat healthy, homemade foods every day. But if the thought of cooking them a huge meal seems like a chore . . . just open a can of Spot’s Stew! Let our gourmet chefs prepare the healthiest food in the world for your dog or cat. We won’t mind if you take the credit!

Davey the dog’s mom switched to Halo for an important reason:

“We regularly supplement Davey’s daily diet with things like carrots, berries, apples and other whole foods,” she writes on her blog.

“So having an actual whole food in Davey’s daily meal makes me feel great about what I feed him,” she writes. “The Halo dry food ingredient list reads like a healthy grocery list and not a chemistry experiment.”

Davey, we hope you are enjoying your wholesome, well-rounded meals!!

Actor Benjamin McKenzie, a star of the hit TV show The O.C., appeared on the Ellen Show April 2 and raved about how his sweet brown and white pit bull, Oscar, loved eating his Halo.

McKenzie, star of the new NBC cop drama Southland premiering April 9, received a year’s worth of Halo from Ellen last April when he appeared on her show.

Oscar was found by a friend, abandoned in a park. McKenzie said at the time he thought the dog was used as bait for dog fighting because he was so meek. Oscar was named for the character ‘Oscar’ from ‘The Odd Couple’ because he acts like an old man, McKenzie tells Ellen.

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!
