Are You Feeding Your Pet "Road-Kill"?
Halo Pets

FACT:
Meat rendering plants purchase and process one hundred million pounds of waste material every year; including road kill, ground up diseased animal parts and fecal matter, which are then manufactured into pet foods and labeled “by-products”.*
FACT:
Pet food manufacturers are permitted to use the remains of animal carcasses euthanized at humane shelters, including their pet tags and collars.**
FACT:
Corn is the number one ingredient found in pet foods. Not only indigestible, but is the leading cause of obesity in animals today.***
FACT:
There is no government regulation concerning the quality or sources of ingredients allowed to be used in pet foods.****
The shocking truth is that no one is “minding the store” to ensure our companion animals are even getting minimum nourishment at all. The pet food industry is entirely self-regulated and based sadly on bottom line profits alone.
It is no mystery why our pets’ health problems have escalated to epidemic proportions. Cancer, Liver and Kidney failure, Tumors, Skin Problems and Obesity have become the norm. Veterinarians treat 95% of the dogs in this country monthly for these health problems. Most people are missing the fundamental common denominator; Food is the foundation of all life!
This is a timely and important human interest story which directly affects the lives of more than 60% of American Households today!

But the good news is…
Spot’s Stew: The First, All Natural Cat and
Dog Food is Approved for Human Consumption
By the United States Department of Agriculture.
Tampa, FL January, 2000 – Halo, Purely for Pets innovators of healthy food supplements and herbal grooming aids for all pets is the first to market all natural, human grade USDA approved Dog and Cat food.
Spot’s Stew is the only pet food in the world prepared in a strictly regulated USDA kitchen with no chemicals, fillers or by-products. Halo uses only USDA approved chicken, zucchini, carrots, squash, celery, green beans, green peas, garlic and kelp. Good food that promotes great health and elevates the immune system.
The company’s unique People Food for Pets philosophy originated thirteen years ago when founder Andi Brown cured her pet cat Spot’s long term illness by making him a nutritionally balanced home cooked stew.
Holistic Vets Agree on Healthy Homemade Diets
“Ask any holistic vet and they’ll tell you, like people, animals are what they eat and encourage pet owners to prepare their own foods,” says Brown. “Most pet foods on the market, even the ones that claim a healthy or scientific formula, contain the lowest quality ingredients, non essential fillers, potentially harmful chemicals and by-products.”
Healing Pets with Healthy Food
After sharing her Spot’s Stew recipe with customers, Brown quickly discovered the healthful diet relieved a variety of symptoms for the pets. “Calls from all over the country began pouring in. Halo customers reported a reduction in vet bills, prescription drugs and over the counter medications. I realized we were onto something, truly curing animals from the inside out,” Brown continues. “That’s why we created Spot’s Stew. Now people who don’t have the time to make the recipe themselves can just open a can.” Spot’s Stew is available at health food stores nationwide.
