			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://blog.halopets.com/wp-content/winner.gif" alt="winner" title="winner" width="184" height="200" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-8277" />For the second year in a row, everyone’s favorite 100% protein treats took top prize in The Reviewers Choice Awards among dog treats. Halo Spot’s Stew dry dog food also won a Finalist award. As the Buzzillions award site explains, “think of these as the People’s Choice Awards of online shopping” – recognizing the highest-rated products from over 9 million online consumer reviews.</p>
<p>Even though we won for top dog treat – many of our reviews come from cat families, who know that felines can get ferociously addicted to Halo Liv-a-Littles!</p>
<p><a href="http://shop.halopets.com/Natural-Treats"><img src="http://blog.halopets.com/wp-content/jarchicken.jpg" alt="jarchicken" title="jarchicken" width="153" height="194" class="alignright size-full wp-image-8280" /></a>As Bettina from Roy, Utah’s Buzzillions review states, “Five stars. Great for either cats or dogs. We purchased these treats for our two Pomeranian&#8217;s. It was very interesting to see our very aloof cat come running when we called &#8220;chicken&#8221; after he got a taste of the treat. It is always fun to see which one of our little ones will get to the kitchen first. &#8221;</p>
<p>Susan D from Illinois explained, “We have three cats who absolutely love this product. It is the only treat our 13-year old diabetic boy can have since it doesn&#8217;t contain additives, preservatives or anything else that will raise his blood glucose. He doesn&#8217;t mind having his blood sugar tested, he knows his favorite treat will follow.&#8221;</p>
<p><img src="http://blog.halopets.com/wp-content/Finalist.gif" alt="Finalist" title="Finalist" width="135" height="145" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-8284" />That reflects my own experience at home, where our cat Sterling runs to the kitchen when our dog Bert gets his injections – so then they each enjoy a treat.</p>
<p>All Halo treats are made with the highest quality ingredients. Spot’s Stew Dry Dog Food is part of Halo’s Natural Dry Dog Food that is highly digestible, high in protein and quality ingredients, low in carbs and always created with your pet’s entire well-being in mind. Halo never uses chicken meal or other rendered meats.</p>
<p><a href="http://shop.halopets.com/Dry-Dog"><img src="http://blog.halopets.com/wp-content/drydogchicken.jpg" alt="drydogchicken" title="drydogchicken" width="135" height="174" class="alignright size-full wp-image-8287" /></a>“This recognition for our pet food is especially important to all of us at Halo because it comes straight from the consumer,” said Steve Marton, CEO of Halo.  “Halo wins awards like this only because consumers are demanding great ingredients. Every Halo ingredient is a real, natural ingredient that consumers recognize and understand. Every meat we use can also be sent to make human food products. That’s what consumers are demanding, and that’s what Halo has delivered for over 20 years.” </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://blog.halopets.com/wp-content/treatlogo.jpg" alt="treatlogo" title="treatlogo" width="186" height="276" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-8226" />You can find Delicious Living magazine in about 1,300 natural products stores. We like that the magazine “meets new millennium needs with centuries-old health solutions, combined with contemporary natural health care methods and modalities.” That perspective no doubt led writer Lauren McNitt to tout <a href="http://shop.halopets.com/Natural-Treats/Liv-a-Littles-Healthsome-dog-with-salmon"><strong>Halo’s Healthsome Skin &#038; Coat Treats</strong></a> in her article “Functional Pet Treats.”</p>
<p>Halo recipes also combine that centuries-old wisdom – in the form of real, natural ingredients – with contemporary health wisdom pointing us to the importance of essential fatty acids.  She writes, “These biscuits are made with a blend of six botanical oils and essential fatty acids, which help prevent skin inflammation and hair loss.”  It’s true! </p>
<p>At home, our boxer boy Bert gobbles these treats with his twice-daily medicine. We add a regular dose of <a href="http://shop.halopets.com/Pet-Supplements/VitaGlo-Dream-Coat-8oz_2"><strong>Halo Dream Coat</strong></a>, and no more dry skin!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://blog.halopets.com/wp-content/petfoodcover2.jpg" alt="petfoodcover2" title="petfoodcover2" width="230" height="307" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-8003" />Petfood Industry, the influential trade magazine, features Halo on its February 2010 cover. “Catering to the Conscientious” tells of Halo’s origins in Andi Brown’s kitchen, and the core philosophy that hasn’t changed for over 20 years. Halo CEO Steve Marton (seen on the magazine cover with his good friend Stosch) tells the story in an exclusive interview.</p>
<p>Here’s a sneak peak.</p>
<p>“Halo products have the best ingredients for dogs and cats. Plain and simple, that’s what we strive to be known for,” explains Marton. “That’s why Ellen DeGeneres became a part owner of our company. That’s why she spreads the word.”</p>
<p>“As more consumers are reading ingredients labels –and understanding what the ingredients are—our sales improve. For example, consumers are just starting to understand ingredients like <a href="http://www.halopets.com/chickenmeal/"><strong>chicken meal</strong></a>, which is a rendered meat.”</p>

<p>Please remember, while these products are wonderful, they are not the same as what you can buy at the store. You’ll find earlier formulas, old labels, or short-dating. Short-dating means that the product will reach its “Best if Used By” date within 1-2 months of purchase.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://blog.halopets.com/wp-content/natuallylogo.jpg" alt="natuallylogo" title="natuallylogo" width="226" height="118" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-6684" />Naturally Savvy, “Your Guide to Natural &#038; Organic Living,” has written quite a bit about Pet Promise. With <a href="http://www.halopets.com/PetPromise/"><strong>Pet Promise</strong></a> leaving the market, we’re thrilled that they reviewed Halo’s offerings.  After telling the story of Andi Brown’s cat Spot and her original stew, here’s what they had to say.</p>
<p>“With <a href="http://www.halopets.com/ingredients/"><strong>ingredients</strong></a> like <a href="http://www.naturallysavvy.com/pet-care/pet-care-food-list" target="_blank"><strong>chicken</strong></a>, eggs, chicken liver and salmon in the bag of <a href="http://shop.halopets.com/Canned-Dog/Wholesome-Chicken-5oz"><strong>Spot&#8217;s Stew Wholesome Chicken</strong></a> 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 <a href="http://shop.halopets.com/Natural-Treats/liv-a-littles-chicken-protreats"><strong>Liv-a-Littles 100% Chicken Breast Protein Treats</strong></a> provide a high-protein, low-carb snack your dog will love &#8212; and it&#8217;s healthy too! Oscar, our very own Furry Savvy Sampler, loved Halo&#8217;s dog food &#038; treats, and we especially loved its clean ingredients.</p>
<p>“It&#8217;s clear that Halo&#8217;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&#8217;ll see a list of ingredients you probably already have in your kitchen.”</p>
<p>We’re so honored they gave us the “Naturally Savvy Seal of Approval.”</p>

<p>Hotchner, who feeds her three dogs Halo, will be signing copies of her books and giving away samples of <a href="http://shop.halopets.com/Dry-Dog"><strong>Halo food</strong></a>, <a href="http://shop.halopets.com/Natural-Treats"><strong>Liv-a-Little treats</strong></a>, and our popular supplements <a href="http://shop.halopets.com/Pet-Supplements/VitaGlo-Daily-Greens"><strong>Daily Greens</strong></a> and  <a href="http://shop.halopets.com/Pet-Supplements/VitaGlo-Xtra-C"><strong>Xtra-C</strong></a>.  </p>
<p>&#8220;HALO stands out head and shoulders above the rest because there is no dry dog food that has made the commitment HALO has: to use only &#8220;meat fit for human consumption&#8221; in their kibble,&#8221; says Hotchner.  </p>
<p>&#8220;Since the most worrisome aspect of dry pet food is the origin of the protein content &#8211; horror stories abound &#8211; I am grateful to be able to choose HALO as the dry portion of my own dogs food because it has no &#8220;mystery meat&#8221; elements but only meat that a person might eat,&#8221; she continues. &#8220;Regardless of the quality of he kibble, I still want to always give the message that any dog kibble is a highly-processed food and should make up no more than half of the dog&#8217;s meal, which should include quality protein, vegetables and less-processed carbohydrates.&#8221;</p>

And thanks so much for the kind words, Beanie. We indeed hope your golden years are the best of your life.  Enjoy!</em></p>
<p>Dear Halo, </p>
<p>Hi! My name is Beanie. It is actually an 8 word, very long name, shortened to Beanie at my birth, thank goodness. It is much easier for me to respond to my humans with this little name. So, I am writing because I wanted my human to let you know how your product has saved my menu and my pallet. </p>
<p>I was sold to my loving humans, who were looking for a Border Terrier to fulfill their lives. Of coarse they picked me, I mean really, come on, who wouldn&#8217;t! Once they got me home and began the proper spoilage of me and mine, they noticed that I had developed food allergies. I spent many sick filled days and scratchy days and nights, until my humans figured out what foods I was allergic too. Needless to say the list was HUGE. </p>
<p>My humans, for 11 years, made my food every month. Rice and Hamburger or Hamburger and Rice. Once in a while they&#8217;d throw garlic in, or carrots, or potatoes. Cheese is always welcomed. THEN!!!! my Mom was watching the Ellen Show, as always and she mentioned your WONDERFUL pet food she had become involved with. I saw shining lights from the heavens and music rang in my ears.  There was NEW food on my plate!! <a href="http://shop.halopets.com/Natural-Dog-Food"><strong>HALO</strong></a>!!!!!!!!!! Sometimes by itself, most times mixed in with my &#8220;usual&#8221;, and then, if I am being good, I get cheese sprinkled on top. </p>
<p>My &#8220;golden&#8221; years are clearly going to be the best years of my life, thanks to Halo. I have new food and new treats and a new lease on life. My humans, Kathy and Harry Hawn, of Coupeville, WA, wish to thank Ellen, first and foremost, for becoming involved with your product, as I don&#8217;t think we would have heard of it otherwise, living on an Island as we do, and we would also like to thank HALO! You are wonderful chefs of fine dining for us four-legged beauties, and you taste soooooo good. I am truly blessed. </p>
<p>Thank you so very much and I give you a &#8220;high-four&#8221; (as I have no thumb) </p>
<p>From me,<br />
Beanie,<br />
and my loving humans, Kathy and Harry Hawn</p>

<p>I am so excited that I finally found something to get my Standard Poodle Beau to eat all of his dry dog food. Once a day, usually at dinner time, I mix wet Halo dog food with dry Halo. When there is wet food mixed in his food he licks the bowl dry. But In the morning it was becoming a challenge to get him to finish his dry only food. As most poodles, his weight is not an issue. On the other hand his sister, a 70 pound labradoodle it is the opposite. I do realize that Chula, my labradoodle doesn’t know that there is something different in Beau’s bowl, but I still prefer to feed them the same food. I tried Dinner Party Wild Salmon flavor because they both love Spot’s Stew Salmon flavor. Well…now Beau finishes his dry food in the morning and I am not worried about extra calories for Chula! It is easy to use…just sprinkle it over the food and there you go!</p>
<p>I am so pleased with all of the Halo products, including my two kitties that also love their Halo food!</p>
<p>Thanks!<br />
Beth Levine</em></p>
