Thank You Halo!!! OUR STORY:</p>
<p>You literally saved my Golden’s life!!</p>
<p>My precious 13 year old Golden is a different dog since eating Halo. In the past she has been diagnosed with chronic UTI, thyroid problems, hip displasia, had her spleen removed, was told she had liver cancer and lymphoma&#8230; The list just goes on.</p>
<p>She had been on prescription Science Diet for about 8-10 years. She has been on so many different antibiotics there were few left the vet had not tried. In October of last year she was so weak she could not walk and had to be feed soft food by spoon. My husband and I carried her out to potty.</p>
<p>She started chattering and shaking and was sicker than I&#8217;ve ever seen her. She was taking two very strong antibiotics one of which was Batril she was put on Valium and pain meds. Also still giving wet Rx Science Diet.  Late October my vet suggested it was time to let her go!!! I was sick, scared and just wasn&#8217;t sure I had done everything I could.</p>
<p>SO, that&#8217;s when I read about Halo!!! I made the decision the last week of October to take her off all meds except Rimadyl and try feeding her Halo wet food. This is not an exaggeration&#8230; I am serious, within four days of feeding her Halo along with Halo supplements she got up for the first time in a month on her own, walked into the kitchen where I was cooking dinner and literally bumped me on the leg and dropped her ball at my feet!!!!!!!</p>
<p>All I could do was get on the floor with her and cry tears of JOY! I am convinced Halo was the main reason she is still with us today. She has not been to the vet since late September of 2009, and is so healthy her hair stopped falling out, her skin isn&#8217;t flaking off and she is so happy and absolutely LOVES her Halo Food!!!</p>
<p>Thank You doesn&#8217;t even come close to how I feel.<br />

We’re honored that the Eco Chic “Alpha-Dog” Tammy Preast chose to feature Halo.</p>
<p>She begins her story by getting right to the heart of the matter, asking “Do you know what goes into your pet?”</p>
<p>Then they responding using the words from Halo’s own web site, saying:</p>
<p><em>“You are what you eat” is true for animals as well as for people. <a href="http://www.halopets.com/ingredients/index.php"><strong>Read the ingredients</strong></a>. Can you identify them? Are there inferior by-products, “meals” or chemicals?</em></p>
<p>At <a href="http://www.halopets.com/natural-pet-products.html"><strong>Halo Pet Foods</strong></a>, they are purely focused on your pet’s well-being. Halo holistic natural dog food and natural cat food are made from real foods you can recognize.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-6760" title="poplogo2" src="http://blog.halopets.com/wp-content/poplogo2.jpg" alt="poplogo2" width="240" height="135" />Plenty of Puppies, a leading site for <a href="http://plentyofpuppies.com/">breeders</a>, gave a terrific review to Pet Promise in October, praising “a pet food made up of totally <a href="http://www.halopets.com/natural-pet-products.html"><strong>natural products</strong></a>” and “proteins only coming from pure sources.” They rightly asked, “If you wouldn’t eat that, why would you give it to your dog?”</p>
<p>Now that <a href="http://www.halopets.com/PetPromise/"><strong>Pet Promise</strong></a> is leaving the market, Plenty of Puppies reviewed <a href="http://shop.halopets.com/Natural-Dog-Food"><strong>Halo Spot’s Stew</strong></a> dry dog food, giving it similar high praise.  They explain, “This is a great list of <a href="http://www.halopets.com/ingredients/"><strong>ingredients</strong></a> that I would be proud to give my dog.  Heck, I&#8217;m even tempted to have a handful of kibble!”</p>
<p>Here’s some of what they had to say about Halo.</p>
<p>“Upon opening the bag I notice the kibble looks fresh (not all dried up like some dog food), comes in a thin disc sized kibble, which means it will be easily digestible for many sizes of dogs. I also noticed that there is not just kibble in the bag! I can also see bits of dehydrated vegetables and meat. I think having dehydrated bits of food mixed with the kibble is a great idea. I checked the back of the bag to see what those bits are. There is green peas, cranberries, butcher-quality chicken, flax seed and carrots. I guess it&#8217;s called Spot&#8217;s Stew for a reason!”</p>
<p>Then they ask – and answer, “Why is Spot&#8217;s Stew better than other dog foods?”</p>
<p><a href="http://www.halopets.com/petpromise"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-5493" title="hpimage1" src="http://blog.halopets.com/wp-content/hpimage1.jpg" alt="hpimage1" width="238" height="146" /></a><br />
“Reading on the bag I can see that Halo Spot&#8217;s Stew is made with vitamins, minerals and trace nutrients, has no artificial colours, flavours or preservatives, and is made without any rendered meats, and no animal or plant meal (meaning they use whole foods, much more nutritious).”</p>
<p>Thanks, Plenty of Puppies! Click over to our <a href="http://www.halopets.com/news.html#pp-12-8"><strong>News page</strong></a> to see the whole review.</p>

She writes that “many over the counter and some prescription pest control products contain dangerous chemicals, in particular <a href="http://www.pesticideinfo.org/Detail_Chemical.jsp?Rec_Id=PC35769" target="_blank"><strong>propoxur</strong></a> and <a href="http://www.epa.gov/oppsrrd1/reregistration/tcvp/" target="_blank"><strong>TCVP, tetrachlorovinphos</strong></a>. Further, she explains that “Side effects range from allergies to skin irritations to, in extreme cases, fatalities.”</p>
<p>We’re thrilled she considers Halo’s more holistic perspective in <a href="http://www.examiner.com/x-7994-Denver-Pet-Products-Examiner~y2009m5d1-Herbal-v-commercial-pest-control" target="_blank"><strong>her article</strong></a>!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-1874" title="happydogs" src="http://blog.halopets.com/wp-content/happydogs.jpg" alt="" width="265" height="173" />The Natural Resources Defense Council, a leader in saving the environment, issued a report in 2000 called Poison on Pets, with a list of dangerous chemicals contained in flea and tick products; since then, the NRDC has helped to get most of the poisons banned, and is working on getting rid of the final two still on the market.</p>
<p>The issue is so important that the NRDC has created a special web site &#8212;  <a href="http://www.greenpaws.org/" target="_blank">www.GreenPaws.org</a> &#8212; to increase awareness of pesticide use on and around pets. Many of the most popular brands of flea and tick treatments and their ingredients are listed, with possible side-effects including cancer-causing agents.</p>
<p>The site also has <a href="http://www.greenpaws.org/better.php" target="_blank">tips on how to protect your pet</a> without the use of chemicals, including regular combing and baths.</p>
<p>As you probably know, Halo does not use any of these unsafe chemicals, and offers a full line of <a href="http://shop.halopets.com/Grooming-Supplies">natural pet grooming products</a> as a safer alternative for both your pet and the environment.</p>
