My vet recommended a “senior” or “lite” diet for my pet. Can I use Halo?
Halo foods can be used successfully in a weight loss program. Halo donated food for a weight loss challenge to a New York City shelter (Bideawee) and I monitored the progress of 7 obese cats over 4 weeks—all successfully lost the desired amount of weight. For more information on this study see Dr. Spector’s article. Several of our formulas fall within the “lite” category as defined by AAFCO (canned dog food <900 kcal/kg, canned cat food <950 kcal/kg): the Canned Dog Chicken and Canned Cat Chicken and Lamb formulas. Dr. Spector recommends reaching for these formulas first when starting a weight loss plan. Click here for more information on Weight Loss Tips. –Dr.
