Yes, we’re happy to give away our most famous recipe because it helps keep animals well! Loyal web site visitors knew they could always find the recipe for Halo Spot’s Stew on our free recipes page. But we’re thankful Animal Wellness magazine is helping spread the word. Here’s what their editor had to say:

“If you’re like us here at the magazine, you enjoy celebrating special occasions with your dog or cat. Halo, Purely for Pets sent us this healthy Thanksgiving recipe to try. It was originally formulated when company founder Andi Brown was struggling with healthy issues and looking for something she could make in her own kitchen using grocery store ingredients (yes, people can eat it too). Happy Thanksgiving!”

It warms our hearts when, like Andi for her cat Spot, people cook wholesome, nutritious meals for their four-legged loved ones. Of course, many of us rely on the chefs at Halo to do the cooking for them!

See the Halo News page for a link to the recipe in Animal Wellness.

“Ellen became part owner with Halo in hopes of animals ‘becoming the healthiest they can be.’ You would not want to fill your own body with toxins, so why would you do it to your animals? Halo is one of the healthiest pet foods on the market right now,” according to Dogasaur.com. They also ask – and answer – the question asked by all of us who feed Halo: “Wouldn’t you feel better about feeding your pet food that you would actually eat? I know I would!”

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!!

Here’s a wonderful story for those of us with fussy eaters or pets with sensitive stomachs, from L.J. Schrader on Amazon.com:

HALO food for my little angel of a dog!, February 25, 2009
By L. J. Schrader

I have a small Italian Greyhound who is quite fussy about his food and has always had a sensitive stomach as well. Since they are tiny & skinny dogs, keeping him at a healthy weight is not easy if he does not enjoy his food.

Long story short, he loves Halo’s Spot’s Stew in both the beef flavor and the chicken, and the 5 oz. cans are the perfect size for him twice a day. The food is really so authentic that it looks and smells more like chunky baby food than dog food that has the usual fillers. It is easy on his stomach since it is a great natural product, so he is healthier than ever.

It is a little pricey, but I believe it is great food for great dogs.

Thanks, L.J.! We’re so glad your Italian Greyhound is healthier than ever! Of course no one should be surprised that it looks and smells more like human food – because it is! Take a look at this fun video. And be sure to sign up for our newsletter to get lots of coupons and special by email.
