Wednesday 28th January 2009 08:39:22 AM  Like many animal lovers out there, when Ellen DeGeneres was a kid she thought she¡¦d become a veterinarian. ¡§Then I realized what that entailed and that broke my heart,¡¨ the comedian tells PEOPLE. That didn¡¦t stop the TV host from doing amazing work with animals. She consistently profiles pet heroes on her show, works with various animal charities, and dotes on the five furry pals that live in her own home (she and wife Portia de Rossi have two dogs and three cats). And, last year she became part owner of the all-natural pet food company Halo Purely for Pets, which she¡¦ll be promoting on QVC this weekend. DeGeneres took some time out to chat with PEOPLE about her pets and the pet food they love to eat. |
