My French Bulldogs liked ‘Keen’ MUCH more then Thrive….I decided to get Thrive because (in my mind I figured) it’s more expensive so therefore better for my dog but nope, they din’t care for it! SO if your dog doesn’t need to be on Thrive for a specific reason consider the cheaper Keen which is just as healthy and apparently yummy!
I searched long and hard for a good quality food that I could give to my diabetic dog. Abby was diagnosed about 6 months ago. Well, I have to give this food the highest rating, so far. Her blood glucose levels have never been more stable, and just wanted to share my experience with others, if there are others searching for the same. I would definitely give Thrive a long hard look, and definitely give it a try.
In addition, my Abby has skin allergies. She develops Schnauzer bumps, and definitely will start the paw licking. For a diabetic dog, you definitely do not want additional aggravations to create infections. These too have gone a way since she has been on Thrive.
One thing to mention, is that I do give some raw meat (about 1oz), as I read that Thrive may be lacking a bit on protein. In either case, whether you add the additional protein or no, it is a great food!!
Thank you Honest Kitchen!!
I have 6 dogs all large breeds ranging in age from pups to adults. I also have a pregnant female who I thought this food would be great for since it is good for pregnant and nursing dogs. NONE of them would even touch it. They are picky kibble eaters and my pregnany girl won’t touch kibble so she is on food rolls. Now I have a 10lb box of thrive that will collect dust on the shelf.. So sad though because everyone said it was great and their dogs gobbled it down. Now I am still in search for a dehydrated dog food that my dogs WILL eat.
I was sure my dogs wouldn’t like this stuff, and I’ve never seen them SO happy to eat.
I have a boston terrier who has really bad allergies. Off the charts for flax seed, beef, milk, brewer’s yeast. I’ve found through experimenting that I also have to keep her away from the illusive “Natural Flavoring”. It has been impossible to find a food for her. Poor thing, her muzzle is always red and she’s always itching.
2 days on your food, and I’m seeing improvement already. Her muzzle is clearing up, and she is no longer chewing on her feet non stop.
This is the ONLY food I’ve found to date with NONE of the ingredients she is allergic to.
Thank you Thank you Thank you!
As I started out saying, both my dogs love this stuff.

My two Yorkshire Terriers love your Thrive food. They are in great condition physically and have very healthy bowl movements. I like the fact that the food is ground to a finer consistency. My dogs do not go for chunky food.
I have ordered Preference for a number of years adding chicken to it. It worked well. The one thing I liked about Preference was the alfalfa. Because your meat quality is so good, I have decided to start using your Thrive food. It has only chicken as the meat and my dogs do well with just the chicken and not other meats added. Just wish there was some added alfalfa.
I will continue to order your food as long as you are around. I Hope that is forever.
Thanks again for producing such a high quality food in a way that is very environmentally safe.

I have been feeding my English bully, Meatball, Thrive for almost almost a year and a half. And it has been a blessing!! Solid stools all around.
It hasn’t always been an easy life for my almost 2 year old puppy.
Meatball was diagnosed with demodex at 4 months along with a skin infection. Fortunately, our holistic vet recommended a great dermatologist in our area and Meatball has been of meds for almost a year.
It was around this time that I noticed that Meatball started experiencing runny stools on his kibble. I always had a gut feeling it might have been the grain in it. So I switched from one brand to another with different grains in the recipe to no avail. I simply had enough at this point.! I had seen THK at various retailers and after e-mailing Lucy, I decided to give Thrive a try.
After a month of slow introduction to THK, Meatball no longer had runny, smelly stools.
Meatball is now almost 2 years old. He is muscular and trim for an English bully (he weighs 48lbs), his coat is soft and shiny. We still have some environmental allergy issues but even his dermatologist remarks that his skin is in good condition for his breed.
Thank you THK for your great product!!
P.S Have you ever thought about making a product that’s grain free of course but “kibble” shaped?
Hi Wendy,
Thanks for your review. We actually were able to switch to a smaller dice on the sweet potatoes again recently so you should see those in a future box very soon.
I have been feeding a raw diet to my dogs for many years and 2 months ago I decided to try THK as I have heard many good things about it. So far my dogs are doing wonderful on Thrive but the one concern I have is the sweet potatoes not breaking down. I was wondering if you might considering grinding the sweet potatoes into much smaller pieces so the dogs can actually digest it. Currently, the sweet potatoes are going in and coming out exactly the same. Therefore, they are not getting the wonderful benefits of the sweet potatoes.
We recently had a medical scare with my dog. He lost 3 lbs in 2 months. He is only 15 lbs, so that’s a huge weight loss. He began throwing up blood and had blood in his stool. After many tests were run, we found he had a GI virus and he spent a day in the hospital. I decided to change his diet in order for him to put some weight back on. I had fed him Sojos for years. Within 2 weeks on Thrive he looks better than ever and has energy and he is at a perfect weight. He loves his food! He is 10 years old and still looks and acts like he’s 2. I’ve recommended this food to all my friends and family with dogs.
Another winner at our house! Thrive is in our rotation of other THK foods plus raw. Coats are wonderful, stools are fine, dogs are happy, we’re good to go
THanks THK!!
