I’m a tough sell when it comes to pet products ESPECIALLY foods and treats. Probably because I don’t believe the first sales pitch I hear until I investigate whatever is being sold to me. I mean c’mon, it takes me 6 months to buy a car! Like most pet owners, I’m always on the look out for new products and services to help Butch lead a happy healthy safer life. I love the little guy so I want to keep him with me as long as absolutely possible! So being that I travel to many of the biggest functions in the country for my book and the radio show, I have the opportunity to learn of products of all types, shapes, sizes, and tastes that claim to bring some type of enjoyment or benefit to your pet’s well being. I investigate most of them and always run them past Butch for his opinion. While at Westminster this year in February I was handed a couple of samples and a pamphlet on HALO brand products. Looking through it, I recalled that this was the company that Ellen DeGeneres liked so much that she bought a stake in them. Hmmm, I thought Butch needs to check this out, but he probably will not like it. He has quite the discriminating palette. Hello HALO! He LOVES it! The fact that he gobbled it up is one thing but after investigating the ingredients and the company further I was completely sold. Butch recommends HALO dog food very highly and I like the company and the care they place on each of the products they offer. I can’t say enough about them and from now on you will always find HALO products in my pantry for Butch!
Join us this week for an in-depth interview with HALO’s Veterianary Pet Health expert Dr. Donna Spector. Dr. Spector really knows her stuff and explains the steps in detail on how to maintain the proper weight and health for your pet! Also check out the HALO web site, it is one of the best that I have seen!
