The Honest Kitchen Stirs Up the Pet Food Industry
The Honest Kitchen (THK), a San Diego-based holistic pet food
manufacturer, offers new healthy alternatives to conventional
pet foods including grain-free and raw dehydrated products.
Their continued growth clearly indicates the increasing demand
for natural pet foods.
San Diego, CA (PRWEB) October 4, 2005 – In its quest
to provide healthy products for pets around the world, The
Honest Kitchen (www.thehonestkitchen.com), a San Diego-based
holistic pet food manufacturer, continues to develop natural,
dehydrated raw dog and cat foods (Embark, Force, Verve, and
Prowl).
Amidst a growing buzz for raw food diets around the pet food
industry, THK has pioneered two grain-free dog food recipes.
These products not only contribute to the overall health of
dogs, but are also revolutionizing the way people tackle numerous
low grade chronic ailments in their pets.
“Grains are not well digested by many dogs and can result
in ear infections, GI Upset, skin irritation and a host of
other ailments that have conventionally been treated with
steroids and over-prescribed antibiotics,” explains
Lucy Postins, Animal Nutritionist, pet-lover and Director
of Marketing at THK. “The simple step of eliminating
grain can actually have a profound effect and reduce the need
for medication.”
As owners come to understand the horrors of what goes into
conventional pet food, interest in home made diets for pets
continues to surge in popularity. With conventional dog foods,
pets end up eating the exact same type of food, day after
day for their entire lives (primarily canned diets or brown
chunks of 'kibble').
THK's all natural products offer a fresh approach to canine
nutrition and feature organic ingredients. Made from real
'people food' which has been specifically formulated for dogs,
their products facilitate daily variety so pets can eat like
humans – with a selection of varied ingredients throughout
the week. In fact they are the only pet food manufacturer
in the U.S. to receive a statement of 'no objection' from
the FDA to use the term 'human grade' on their labels.
“As more and more people come to understand the importance
of feeding a dog the same way that healthy humans eat –
with fresh, wholesome variety, our company continues to grow,”
reports Postins.
THK's growth is a firm indication of the increasing demand
for natural pet foods. The company has experienced growth
on an average of 250% per year since it was founded in 2002.
They currently have about 500 resellers in the US and three
international distributors in Japan and Singapore. They also
are launching their first cat food in October 2005 and new
product labels this fall.
