Halo Liv-a-Littles Healthsome Well-Being Treats with Chicken & Cheese, $4.99
Halo Liv-a-Littles Healthsome Well-Being Treats with Chicken & Cheese have a lot going for them. According to the packaging, they're oven-baked, antioxidant-rich, and free of artificial colors and flavors. The treats are made with a nutritious blend of cranberries, pumpkin, sweet potatoes, yogurt, green tea and vitamins to help maintain healthy cells.

I don't know whether Izzy, my Border Collie/Chow mix, noticed that the treats were healthy; I just know that she gobbled them up without a second thought, licking the floor to make sure she devoured up every last crumb. If all those snacks actually help to support a healthy immune system, as Halo claims, all the better. If not, she's certainly not complaining about having to eat them. -- Kirsten Taylor

Halo Liv-a-Littles Healthsome Dog Biscuits/ Vegetarian with Peanut 'N Pumpkin Dog Biscuits, $4.99
Halo Liv-a-Littles Healthsome Vegetarian with Peanut 'N Pumpkin Dog Biscuits are gluten-free and oven-baked. Since my dog has only eaten gourmet dog treats made of lamb and liver, I didn't think that he would like the vegetarian ones. Boy, was I wrong.

My dog's nose started wiggling the second I opened the package. I took a sniff inside the bag and could understand why. The vegetarian treats have an authentic nutty aroma of peanut butter, meaning the smell is not overpowering, as you might expect with artificially manufactured flavors.

I gave one of the biscuits to my dog and he started happily munching away. After he finished that one, he came back for more. Luckily, the vegetarian dog treats are low-fat and made with a blend of beneficial ingredients. There is no corn, fillers, sugar or molasses. The only downside is that the biscuits are hard. My fingers were left aching after I tried to break them in half.

The sizable dog treats -- about two inches long -- are so low in calories that I can give my 8-pound dog one to three biscuits a day according to the feeding guide on the bag, which bases its recommendation on a dog's weight. My dog is very happy about that. -- Helena Sung

Halo Liv-a-Littles Healthsome Dog Biscuits with Beef and Liver, $4.99
The box for Halo Liv-a-Littles Healthsome Dog Biscuits with Beef and Liver promises holistic care for dogs, and oven-baked, wholesome goodness. Our mutt Mouse usually doesn't go for healthy dog treats, so I was a little skeptical at first.

Mouse was immediately intrigued by the cute little biscuits shaped like Milk-Bone treats. She was so into them that she scarfed down her treat and literally begged for more. When I sat down to write this review, I left the box on the table. When I returned, Mouse was laying on the floor, looking up hopefully at the box. I'd say we have a winner here! -- Amy Shearn

Halo Liv-a-Littles Healthsome Skin & Coat Dog Treats with Wild Salmon, $4.99
I've always been very conscious about what I feed Daisy, my 10-year-old Chow/Pit Bull/Golden Retriever mix. For seven years, she's suffered from pemphigus foliaceus, a tough-to-diagnose autoimmune skin disorder. We started her on a raw, whole-food diet that was very labor-intensive for us, but worked miracles for Daisy.

The healthy diet, coupled with the application of a topical steroidal cream whenever she has a flare-up, keeps her disease in check. I've since switched her to a high-quality commercial food. But when it comes to snacks, my girl is a junk-food lover. She generally scoffs at the all-natural biscuits and goes right for the Milk-Bones.

Initially, she turned up her nose at the Liv-a-Littles Healthsome Skin & Coat Dog Treats with Wild Salmon, but the next day, I tried again, and got a much more appreciative response. Daisy not only loved the treats, she gobbled up the whole bag in a few minutes!

We've recently moved, and the stress of that has given Daisy a flare-up on her nose. I swear, the day after the Liv-a-Littles feast, her nose was looking much healthier -- even without steroidal cream! -- Laura Vogel
