Dr. Donna Spector, Halo’s veterinarian, recently shared some tips on how we can all learn to live the good life from our pets– relax, enjoy the sun, and eat with gusto, among other things.

Forbes just published an article, “Doting On Animals In Hard Times – Why pet owners don’t feed their beloved creatures generic brands.”

The author, Rutgers sociologist Lionel Tiger, wonders, “Why are these human beings–evidently fretfully concerned about their own welfare and resources–wasting time and money on other animals … Why do they shop the aisles of pet foods with discernment and commitment …?”

He wonders how we can possibly spend so much “resources, time and energy…on a completely wasteful economic category: pets.”

I’m guessing you have the same reaction I do.

Check out Halo’s News page to see what he has to say about Halo, and for a link to the whole story.

Where do you go for information to help you choose food and care products for your four-legged family member(s)?

I’ll share one of mine: Buzzillions.com.

Buzzillions collects reviews from 2,300 different web sites including Amazon, Petco, Drugstore.com and many more that carry pet care products. For example, check out Buzzillions’ review of Halo Dream Coat. It’s ranked the #1 of 302 Pet Vitamins and Nutrition products by long-time pet owners, and #2 of 302 among all pet owners. Here are the three most recent reviews (as of 1/11/09):

“I started using Halo’s Dream Coat 3 months ago. One of my 3 dogs was recovering from Deodactic Mange when I adopted her.The skin and coat were in bad shape. I use it daily for all 3 dogs and one cat and the improvement is stunning! Annie is getting a beautiful coat where there was none for over a year.The others coats are lush. The dogs like the taste and one of them licks it off the spoon before I can mix it in her food! “  -Dorothy

“I have a VERY large sheddy Rotty. I tried Dream Coat and saw a difference within the 1st week. He gets so many compliments for his lush shiny coat and he has not been shedding as much as before. Harley’s vet even complimented his coat and asked what i was using. Now they carry Dream COat at his Vet;s office!”  -Harley’s Mom

“Dream Coat is a dream come true. It slowed down the excessive shedding I incurred daily with my 3 year old German Shepherd, Shepp. Shepp is extremely picky and turns her nose up at most supplement. However, I mixed Dream Coat in her food and didn’t noticed the product was added to her meals. Her coat is beautiful, shiny and looks extremely healthy.”   -Proud Patty
