@Suzanne’s winning tweet was, “We call Halo frz-dried chicken ‘cookies’. When my cat Montague escaped the way we got him back was to yell ‘cookies’ #MyHaloStory.”

Montague is a 3rd generation Savannah cat, bred from American Shorthair and African Servile. He has giant ears and a triangle shaped face long legs and skinny tail. Suzanne taught him how to shake hands so he sits and shake hands for his reward — Halo freeze dried chicken treats! She says,” when we whisper the word ‘cookie’ he howls and paces till we get the container from the fridge. One cannot go near the fridge without him following and howling.” Then Suzanne’s other three cats come to see if the Savannah cat gets his treat.

On top of that, she mentions a friend who’s cat, Walter, plays the piano for his Halo chicken treats. We’d sure like to see a video of that!

You literally saved my Golden’s life!!

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… The list just goes on.

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.

She started chattering and shaking and was sicker than I’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’t sure I had done everything I could.

SO, that’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… 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!!!!!!!

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’t flaking off and she is so happy and absolutely LOVES her Halo Food!!!

Thank You doesn’t even come close to how I feel.

Hi Halo,

I wanted to tell you about our dog Sam. After, an animal rescue found as him as a puppy running in a field and found him a home, he was returned 2 years later by the people who originally adopted him. When the animal rescue looked at Sam, it seemed as if he had been grossly neglected. He had chronic ear infections and problems with his skin, caused by being consistently tied up and left in the rain.

When we adopted him about a year later he was scared and sad but we bonded with him immediately and has been the sweetest dog. Unfortunately, Sam has had a few illnesses. He has a hard time digesting food and last spring, things got worse when he began losing his hair. We lost our jobs but were devoted to getting him healthy.

We took him to different vets, changed his food and started using organic shampoos. Nothing worked. Finally, I remembered seeing Ellen talk about Halo. So, I tried Halo’s Spot’s Stew Wild Salmon Recipe and to my surprise, Sam is doing better! Within a matter of weeks, his hair has stopped falling out, he can fully digest his food and he has a lot more energy.

I can’t tell you how happy my wife and I are that that we have found Sam AND Halo. I always hug Sam and tell him the line from Lilo and Stitch “Ohana means family, and family sticks together”. I just want him to know that we will always be here for him to make sure he is healthy, happy and loved. Thank you Halo, without your food, I can’t imagine where we would be.

Thanks you,
Lindsey

Now that Pet Promise is leaving the market, Plenty of Puppies reviewed Halo Spot’s Stew dry dog food, giving it similar high praise. They explain, “This is a great list of ingredients that I would be proud to give my dog.  Heck, I’m even tempted to have a handful of kibble!”

Here’s some of what they had to say about Halo.

“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’s called Spot’s Stew for a reason!”

Then they ask – and answer, “Why is Spot’s Stew better than other dog foods?”

“Reading on the bag I can see that Halo Spot’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).”

Thanks, Plenty of Puppies! Click over to our News page to see the whole review.

Bond continues, “I’ve added Halo full-time to my diet. It’s high grade, human-quality food, just what every pet needs and deserves! And what a difference I see in my energy levels and shine in my coat.”

Thanks for the kind words, Bond!

Hotchner, who feeds her three dogs Halo, will be signing copies of her books and giving away samples of Halo food, Liv-a-Little treats, and our popular supplements Daily Greens and Xtra-C.

“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 “meat fit for human consumption” in their kibble,” says Hotchner.

“Since the most worrisome aspect of dry pet food is the origin of the protein content – horror stories abound – I am grateful to be able to choose HALO as the dry portion of my own dogs food because it has no “mystery meat” elements but only meat that a person might eat,” she continues. “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’s meal, which should include quality protein, vegetables and less-processed carbohydrates.”

Dear Halo,

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.

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’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.

My humans, for 11 years, made my food every month. Rice and Hamburger or Hamburger and Rice. Once in a while they’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!! HALO!!!!!!!!!! Sometimes by itself, most times mixed in with my “usual”, and then, if I am being good, I get cheese sprinkled on top.

My “golden” 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’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.

Thank you so very much and I give you a “high-four” (as I have no thumb)

From me,
Beanie,
and my loving humans, Kathy and Harry Hawn
