| Halo, Purely For Pets® Leads Tails Magazine’s 2010 Readers’ Choice Awards with Most ... - YAHOO! Posted: 23 Nov 2010 06:23 AM PST Overwhelming Favorite - Halo, Purely For Pets® - Recognized With More Wins Than Any Other Pet Food Brand Tampa, FL (PRWEB) November 23, 2010 Halo, Purely for Pets® (http://www.halopets.com), a leading producer of natural pet care products, proved to be a fan favorite when the results of Tails Magazine's 2010 Readers' Choice Awards were announced earlier this month. According to the magazine, tens of thousands of readers voted for their favorite animal-related services and products in 15 cities in the publication's 10th annual Readers' Choice awards. Halo won a total 22 titles – more than ANY other pet food brand. In fact, Halo took more than three times as many titles as its nearest competitor. Consumers in Los Angeles, Washington, DC, and Orlando helped Halo sweep the awards in each city, voting Halo the Winner in the Best Dog Food, Best Cat Food, Best Dog Treat and Best Cat Treat categories. Pet owners in Charlotte and Denver lauded Halo as the Winner in the Best Dog Food, Best Cat Food and Best Cat Treat categories, while fans in Indianapolis and Metro New York/New Jersey showed support for the brand with wins in the Best Cat Food category. Dr. Greg Martinez, author of The Dog Dish Diet, states "Halo's healthy way of feeding our pets was the inspiration for my book. We are all learning that if we do not eat a balanced diet composed of whole healthy food, our bodies are at risk for chronic medical conditions. Our pets are no different. The word must be getting out!" "The good folks who picked Halo as their favorite recognized that slick advertising from big companies means nothing," said Tracie Hotchner, award-winning radio host and author of The Dog Bible and of The Cat Bible. "Halo concentrates their efforts on philanthropy with Freekibble and dedicates the company's resources to optimal pet health, using only quality ingredients in their foods - which is why my own dogs eat only Halo Spot's Stew kibble." Halo co-owner Ellen DeGeneres, who has appeared on the cover of Tails Magazine twice, "voted" for Halo as the choice for her pets, and was so pleased she decided to become a part owner of the company. An award-winning animal advocate, Ellen says, "Halo is the best – just read the ingredients!" Halo, Purely For Pets® uses wholesome, natural, quality ingredients and only real meats in all of their pet food as they believe nutrition is the single most important factor in the quality of a pet's life. Halo is the only pet food honored with the National Canine Cancer Foundation Seal of Excellence, and the only leading brand with just fresh meat, no chicken meal or other rendered meats. Recently, Halo supported the United States Postal Service campaign to promote its 2010 social awareness stamp "Animal Rescue: Adopt a Shelter Pet" to raise awareness of pet adoption. In conjunction with this campaign, Halo, Purely For Pets® made a commitment to donate 1 million meals of Halo's Spot's Stew in 2010 to shelter pets awaiting adoption. Halo partnered with Freekibble.com and Freekibblekat.com to donate the 1 million meals. More recently Halo became Freekibble's exclusive pet food sponsor, continuing the commitment to feeding hungry shelter pets across the country.

About Halo, Purely for Pets®: Ellen DeGeneres – a long time Halo customer -- became a part-owner of Halo in 2008, saying, "because I think Halo is incredible, I decided to become part owner in hopes that all animals have the chance to be the healthiest they can be. And I'm anxious to spread the word so that everybody knows about Halo." ### Randi Peck This entry passed through the Full-Text RSS service — if this is your content and you're reading it on someone else's site, please read our FAQ page at fivefilters.org/content-only/faq.php |
| Rachael Ray Donates $775,000 to Pets in Need - People Posted: 23 Nov 2010 04:28 AM PST  Henry S. Dziekan III/Getty This holiday season, Ray is donating 100 percent of proceeds from her Nutrish and Just 6 pet food and treat lines to animal shelters nationwide, giving away a total of $775,000 before Dec. 31. "If you want to look at the state of humans, you should look at the state of animals first," Ray tells PEOPLE.com. "People are choosing whether or not they can feed an animal and their family. And every shelter coast-to-coast is stuffed." Currently on the road to promote her newest cookbook, Look + Cook, Ray is also sponsoring pop-up adoption events for the shelters she's supporting in the hopes of raising awareness for her cause. "We only give to no-kill shelters," she says. "But we give to small and large; no one's excluded. We want to keep as many animals alive as possible." Ray, mom to pit bull pup Isaboo, started her charitable giving in 2008 as a way to help all the animals she couldn't physically save. "My husband and I can sleep at night knowing that our small space is probably wrong for a lot of animals, but we can maybe inspire people [who have space] to bring a lot of animals home," she says. "It's us trying to problem-solve that very discussion, 'Why can't we do more?' " Instead of asking famous friends to donate, Ray decided to develop her food and treat lines (with the help of Ainsworth Pet Nutrition) and give away her own take from it. "It's a constant stream of income, and a source of relief for people that are exhausted, trying to care for their own families and care for animals," she says. For those who'd like to help, but can't necessarily adopt an animal of their own, Ray suggests starting small. "When you're out grocery shopping for your family, maybe you can put a can of cat or dog food in your cart and bring it to an animal relief center," she says. "Maybe you can take your kids by [a shelter] and have them donate something basic. If you can give one or two dollars, or even 10 dollars, to charity, it's a great step."
