Chef Rachel Albert-Matesz, author of The Garden of Eating: A Produce-Dominated Diet and Cookbook, wrote a long review of Halo products on her popular blog, The Healthy Cooking Coach. We’re thrilled that Chef Rachel made such statements as “Your pets are what they eat” and told her loyal readers to “Read the ingredient list for everything you buy for your pets. Can you identify the ingredients?…Does it contain ‘meal,’ wheat, gluten, soy or corn (all common allergens)? My suggestion: Choose products with the simplest and fewest ingredients as close to the way you’d find them in nature.”

Chef Rachel explains, “With the help of several great books on holistic pet care and the Internet, I’ve found some companies whose products I feel good about giving my girls (her two cats). After the product passes my ingredient test it has to pass their taste test, which isn’t always easy.”

We’re glad our Liv-a-Littles treats passed both tests, though Rachel had the worthy recommendation that Halo offer smaller-size protein treats specifically for cats. I’m happy to say our baked cat treat are in fact perfectly feline-sized. Sadly, Chef Rachel’s kitties wouldn’t eat their vegetables when they tried their Halo Spot’s Stew. Hey, sometimes it takes a while (same for my human kids). Chef Rachel also spoke highly of Halo grooming products.

The Cat Bible author Tracie Hotchner blogged about this great testimonial from Charlotte in Texas, “who worries herself sick when her kitties won’t eat,” according to Tracie.

She offered a trick for kitties that won’t eat: use Halo Liv-a-Littles treats. She said, “I took some and processed it into powder and put on her raw chicken and she ate every bite. WooHoo!” Click here to read the rest of Charlotte’s letter on Tracie’s blog.

It’s a story we hear fairly often here. In fact, my own cat Sterling was fading fast with health issues and no appetite at all. But he loves Liv-a-Littles protein treats, so we did the same thing Charlotte suggests – and it saved Sterling’s life.

Here’s a time and money-saving tip for those in similar situations: try Halo Dinner Party rather than crushing the Liv-a-Littles treats. It’s essentially the same ingredients (almost all pure butcher-quality meat or wild fish), but Dinner Party is already in powder form, and about half the price of the whole treats. Enjoy!

We were thrilled to win Animal Wellness Magazine’s Seal of Approval for our Healthsome Treats. We were even more thrilled when the highly regarded natural-focus publication featured us throughout the most recent issue.

We were happy to see Halo’s new treats featured in the latest issue of h Magazine. It was great of them to point out that you choose healthful, fresh foods and ingredients for yourself, “don’t neglect your furry friends.”

Oh and yes – that is a real picture of our Healthsome Well-Being anti-oxidant treats with chicken and cheese! Tempting I know, but remember – they’re for your furry friends!

Halo’s Liv-a-Littles white meat chicken protein treats won the Buzzillions Reviewers’ Choice Award for top treat in 2008, thanks to scores of long-time pet lovers just like you who wrote in.

The Liv-a-Littles are beloved by and good for both cats and dogs, since they are just pure chicken. Tracy, from Chicago, writes that her “cats would happily kill me to get this” while a long-time pet owner in Pennsylvania writes: “My VERY fussy Yorkie absolutely devours these treats! She very quickly learned that when we said “chicken”, she needed to run to the fridge, sit and wait for her treat. These are a hit!”

Buzzillions, by the way, is a website created for consumers to rate products. Its CEO, Andy Chen, has said that while most product awards are judged by a small group of industry experts, theBuzzillions Reviewers’ Choice awards are unique “in that they are judged by the people, for the people.”

And most definitely by the dogs and cats. “Pure cat crack,” writes Rula of New York, N.Y. “The begging never stops.”
