One of our Facebook fans, Sandra King Abernathy from Auburn, California, bought Halo for her three cats and here’s what she had to say:

“I finally found Halo pet food for my cats, and all three of them LOVE it!!! I put two bowls down. One bowl of the old cat food they loved, and a bowl of the Halo. And they all chose the HALO!! It makes me happy too, knowing they are eating cat food that is good for them without all the garbage!!”

The orange cat is a male named “Tiggee”. The female is the white cat with black named “Baby Girl”. Sandra raised Tiggee and Baby Girl since they were only 5 days old. Their mother was abandoned, and she gave birth to these kittens. She was almost starving and so she didn’t have milk.

Sandra began to feed her, and took the kittens to the vet. Then she bottle fed Tiggee and Baby Girl every 3 hours, night and day, and burped them, etc. They just turned 4 on July 16th this year. They are still referred to as “The Babies.”

The gray cat is “Sherwood”. Sandra only had him a month. The man who lived in the apartment next door to her was put in a home and they abandoned Sherwood. So she took him in to be with her other cats.

“We love our Cats! And they love Halo! Thank you for such a quality product,” continues Sandra.

Thank you Sandra for sharing your story!

Here’s a Halo commercial created by G.W. Little.

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!

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 really had fun giving folks on local Sacramento TV some tips on pet travel when PETCO sent me to the West coast recently. If only they had asked me something like pet grooming when traveling – I was thinking that while the nice hotels give out sample shampoo and conditioners, it would be so cool if the pet friendly hotels gave out little bottles of Halo’s Cloud Nine Herbal Shampoo!

It is an absolute favorite in our house where all three of my gigantic dogs gets a bath at least twice a month and truly no shampoo comes close to Halo’s for easy rinse-ability, soft skin, and cleaning without being harsh.

Maybe one of the nicer hotel chains like the Four Seasons – which puts out bowls and beds and leashes for their traveling dog guests – could also pop some Cloud Nine Herbal Shampoo in there and people could take advantage of the nice low edges on hotel bathtubs to give their travelling four-leggeds a little bubble bath?

Here’s me, sent to Sacramento by Petco to chat about pet travel issues. You can see it’s pretty fun! Sacramento & Company TV Appearance.

Dave Gray comments to “Halo Spot’s Stew Natural Dry Cat Food, Indoor Cat, Wild Salmon Recipe, 3-Pound Bag” on Horsemusic weblog:

When Pet Promise, a safe and healthy pet food, went out of business, I was desperately looking for another healthy food that had no by-products, rendered fats, meat meals, or outsourced ingredients. (You might want to check out what these types of ingredients can include – if your stomach can take it – but avoid commercial manufacturers’ “spins” on this). Good books to get in this regard are “Foods Pets Die For” and “Protect Your Pet”:

Food Pets Die For: Shocking Facts About Pet Food

Protect Your Pet: More Shocking Facts

My cats were completely unaffected by the melamine contamination tragedy of 2007 – which killed many pets, especially cats – because their Pet Promise food was one of the few brands in America that didn’t use outsourced ingredients (and was never on the recall list – unlike some of the very expensive “premium brands”). I felt so lucky that I had already switched to Pet Promise, a petfood company that bought ingredients only from North American farmers using sustainable agriculture and free-range livestock.

I finally discovered Halo’s products, and was encouraged by the fact that Ellen DeGeneres, a devout animal lover herself, not only endorses it but also has become part-owner of the company. Their website also included a specific message written to us former Pet Promise users. So I went to my health-food store and bought some.

I was delighted to see that it had no by-products, no rendered meats, no meat meals, and that the label stated that all its ingredients are “Made in the USA”, except the pea protein from Canada. Furthermore, the salmon in Halo is wild Alaskan, not farmed salmon (aka, pharmed salmon, full of antibiotics, etc.). Moreover, it is low in carbohydrates and even includes probiotics in the mix! Making it even more promising than Pet Promise!

But the ultimate test was whether my cats would eat it or not. Unlike my dachshunds, who would eat just about anything that hit the floor (they’re really low to the ground, you know), cats are notorious for their persnickety eating habits. BUT THEY LOVE IT!!! Can’t get enough! So I have to dole it out so they don’t overeat! And after five months, their health and energy seem to be great.

Oh, and hi, Ellen – and many thanks!

Halo Facebook fan, Julie Keleman and her dog, Falcor, recently created a Halo video where Falcor pretty much makes it clear that Halo is his preferred choice of food.

Falcor was one of the millions of homeless dogs until Julie decided to take him in about a year ago. His age is around 2 and his breed is a possible mix of Rotty/Husky/Shephard.

Julie is a dog trainer (Jungle Julie Dog Training) and has been using Spot’s Stew for her dogs for probably the last 10 years, at least! She found Halo when she was looking for the least processed food she could get and Spot’s Stew was IT! Julie has been using it ever since and recommends all Halo products to her training clients whenever she can.

Thank you Julie and Falcor for making a great video!
