G.W. Little, where small dogs get happy! Their emphasis may be on small dogs, but their focus is always on better care and treatment of all pets.

Want to watch your dogs go bananas over a healthy treat? Open a jar of Halo’s Liv-a-Littles and you won’t believe your eyes or theirs as they try to coerce you into giving them every last morsel of 100% freeze-dried chicken or beef, nothing else. No fillers, byproducts or preservatives. Great for cats, too!

Here are a few customer reviews:

Hit in Our House!
March 11, 2010 | By C. Burchuck

The HALO Liv-a Littles doggie treats were a hit in our house! The only one (out of the 4) who wasn’t interested was the 4 month-old and that’s because she’s still only interested in her own food. They’re compact (in packaging) and nutritious, pure protein!

Smudges Loves Them!
March 11, 2010 | By K. Halpin

My dog Smudges absolutely LOVED the HALO liv-a-little treats! He didnt want to eat his dinner the first night I gave him one. He went over to the cabinet where I put the treats away, and was scratching at the door! He loved both the beef and the chicken equally. I wish I had my camera or phone out to take a picture when he was eating them. Hysterical!

I got this question and thought it was a good opportunity to clear up some misunderstandings about lactose, cheese and pets:

Question: I am a bit troubled at the advice in giving cats cheese for treats? I know cats and dogs are lactose intolerant. IT may not kill them, but it causes a lot of gas and can cause a horrid stomachache! I see this advice in many on-line cat recipes as well. Please tell me why you suggest cheese when cats and dogs are lactose intolerant?

Answer: Thanks for the question. First of all, most dogs and cats are not necessarily lactose intolerant so it’s on an individual basis that we offer them some milk, if we feel like it, and see if there are any adverse digestive reactions. What that means is that if your dog gets gassy with milk products – or gets very loose stool – then you may want to avoid it. But in most cases even those lactose-sensitive dogs will adapt. What you may not be aware of is that most cheese is actually very low in lactose, since the fat in the cheese displaces the lactose, which is most present in milk. HALO has a great cheese treat called Liv-a-Little Chicken and Cheese treats which have parmesan cheese near the top of the ingredients, along with yogurt, another dairy product that dogs love. These biscuits are a great training and reward for dogs because the cheese makes them extra-tasty and they are 100% pure and natural, like all HALO products.

I wanted to share this cute story from a listener of Cat Chat the Radio Show.

How cute is this Halo testimonial from Charlotte in Texas, who worries herself sick when her kitties won’t eat. Making the transition off “Kitty Crack” has been stressful, but now successful thanks to Liv-a-Littles.

Now I need to tell Charlotte that HALO beat her to the punch – they came up with DINNER PARTY for just such situations – it’s a shaker of ground up Liv-A-Littles! So they did the work for her – at a lower cost, too.
