Question: What do you recommend if our cat does not want to eat his own food? I tried to change his flavor (using the blue bag now) but he still seems to like the dogs food better?

Answer: Although your cat getting a nibble of Halo dog food from time to time isn’t bad (our dog foods are supplemented with taurine), I definitely don’t recommend routinely feeding them food formulated for dogs.

Cats (as strict carnivores) require higher levels of protein and fat than dogs and Halo foods are designed accordingly. Halo dog food just doesn’t have the right balance for cats to reach their optimal health level.

You can try adding our fatty acid supplement (Dream Coat) or some of the Halo Dinner Party protein sprinkle on top of his food to spark his interest. Also adding a small amount of warmed canned food on top of the dry can entice even the pickiest eater.

Good Luck.

Question: Hello, My Jack Russell has been eating your Spots stew wild salmon for a few months now. I am very pleased with the product and she loves it. My question is, she seems to be developing some blindness, (she is almost 11) do you have a supplement to add to her feed that may help her, or are the nutrients in the food enough?

Answer: Although Halo food is well balanced for her life stage, supplemental Vitamin A and the B vitamins can help support eye and vision health–try the Halo Daily Greens supplement as an excellent source of these vitamins. Jack Russell’s can develop certain eye problems (e.g. lens luxations) leading to blindness–make sure to have her examined by your veterinarian to determine the cause of the problem.

Hope that helps.

Dandruff may simply be caused by dry, poorly hydrated skin. Make sure your pet gets enough water by adding canned food to his/her diet and encourage water drinking throughout the day.

Dandruff can also be an adverse reaction to a poor quality diet or even indicate a dietary deficiency of essential fatty acids.

Choosing a high quality natural diet and an excellent fatty acid supplement can help moisturize your pet’s skin and minimize flakiness.
