@Suzanne’s winning tweet was, “We call Halo frz-dried chicken ‘cookies’. When my cat Montague escaped the way we got him back was to yell ‘cookies’ #MyHaloStory.”

Montague is a 3rd generation Savannah cat, bred from American Shorthair and African Servile. He has giant ears and a triangle shaped face long legs and skinny tail. Suzanne taught him how to shake hands so he sits and shake hands for his reward — Halo freeze dried chicken treats! She says,” when we whisper the word ‘cookie’ he howls and paces till we get the container from the fridge. One cannot go near the fridge without him following and howling.” Then Suzanne’s other three cats come to see if the Savannah cat gets his treat.

On top of that, she mentions a friend who’s cat, Walter, plays the piano for his Halo chicken treats. We’d sure like to see a video of that!

Answer: Sounds like you started the chicken near the end of December. I would recommend the chicken formula only for 3 weeks as some cats require a much longer transition period. Also make sure you are not feeding low quality treats or other things that may have synthetic additives, flavors and colorings. Treats filled with these ingredients can cause digestive disturbance and allergic-type reactions. You can try the Halo Liv-a-Littles or some of our other natural treats that cats love. If after three weeks, your cats are still having tummy troubles, ask your veterinarian about a high quality natural probiotic to get them on their way to feeling better.

Hope that helps.

“With ingredients like chicken, eggs, chicken liver and salmon in the bag of Spot’s Stew Wholesome Chicken recipe for adult dogs that we received, there was no doubt in my mind that Oscar would love his new food. The ingredients boast a healthy dose of vitamins, minerals, and trace nutrients that are vital for a healthy pooch, yet often overlooked by pet food manufacturers. The Liv-a-Littles 100% Chicken Breast Protein Treats provide a high-protein, low-carb snack your dog will love — and it’s healthy too! Oscar, our very own Furry Savvy Sampler, loved Halo’s dog food & treats, and we especially loved its clean ingredients.

“It’s clear that Halo’s first priority is the health and well-being of our pets: just read the label of any of their treats or foods and you’ll see a list of ingredients you probably already have in your kitchen.”

We’re so honored they gave us the “Naturally Savvy Seal of Approval.”

Wow, it sure seems Paw Nation’s staff’s dogs loved our Halo Healthsome treats! Here’s (some of) what four different reviewers had to say:

“I don’t know whether Izzy, my Border Collie/Chow mix, noticed that the treats were healthy; I just know that she gobbled them up without a second thought, licking the floor to make sure she devoured up every last crumb.”

“My dog’s nose started wiggling the second I opened the package. I took a sniff inside the bag and could understand why. .. Luckily, the vegetarian dog treats are low-fat and made with a blend of beneficial ingredients. There is no corn, fillers, sugar or molasses.”

“Our mutt Mouse usually doesn’t go for healthy dog treats, so I was a little skeptical at first. … She was so into them that she scarfed down her treat and literally begged for more. … I’d say we have a winner here!”

“When it comes to snacks, my girl is a junk-food lover. She generally scoffs at the all-natural biscuits and goes right for the Milk-Bones….Daisy not only loved the [Halo] treats, she gobbled up the whole bag in a few minutes! …moved, and the stress of that has given Daisy a flare-up on her nose. I swear, the day after the Liv-a-Littles feast, her nose was looking much healthier — even without steroidal cream!”

“Happa went on to tell me about an eating program he had switched to, after much frustration with foods that included unsavory fillers. The Pet Promise regimen had worked for a time, but because they were going out of business, Happa was in the process of switching over to the Halo menu.

“I thought Pet Promise was amazing,” he said. “But I’m feeling even better since I started Halo. I didn’t think life could get any better — but it has!”
