The Honest Kitchen was founded by Lucy and Charlie Postins in 2002 in San Diego, CA with a mission to help as many pets as possible get on the road to good health through good food. They produce a full line of Human Grade complete & balanced foods for pets including dry, dehydrated, and wet foods, as well as treats, toppers, hydration boosters, and a best-selling digestive supplement. The Honest Kitchen was the first-ever human grade pet food, meaning the finished product meets human food production standards (unlike conventional pet food which is feed-grade). Each Honest Kitchen product is made with uncompromising quality & safety standards by a company of pet lovers. For more information, please visit www.thehonestkitchen.com.
