henr�

I knew, from the day I adopted and brought my little guy home, the importance of a healthy diet. The first dog I adopted, had health issues -- esp. associated w/his skin. Ultimately, I started making his food -- and his skin cleared right up! I'm a vegetarian and rarely eat processed foods ... applying the same standards to his food and treats made a huge difference in his life. I was prepared to make Henr�'s food; however, I had some concerns in regard to providing him enough nutrients as a young, energetic and growing pup! I was uncomfortable with the brand of food he was sent home on and the first natural kibble a chain pet-store recommended. I went to a mom & pop store and started him on a brand of kibble -- far better than other brands. I still felt the need to cook/add non-processed food to the kibble (such as chicken, beef, beans and other vegetables). He had a sensitive belly and, when I returned to the family-owned store the second time, I mentioned his stomach was upset most nights. They recommended adding The Honest Kitchen's pumpkin pours to the kibble. They also mentioned a base, where I needed to add water and basically the same fresh foods I cooked during the week. We tried the pumpkin first -- he loves the chicken and turkey flavors (not a fish guy) and his belly improved the first week! As a treat, I add super foods 1-2/x per/week -- he loves his greens too! When low on puppy kibble, I decided to buy a 1lb bag of grain-free Chicken Clusters. My little guy enjoyed, rarely leaving any in his bowl (as he did w/kibble). I switched from kibble to Chicken Clusters and decided to see if he enjoyed the grain-free turkey (used the wonderful 1lb. option again!) ... I alternate between the chicken/turkey grain-free recipes and still add pumpkin and super pours to his meals. I add fresh veggies and chicken t/o the week; however, I don't feel the need to add b/c his food is lacking nutrients, or his belly is upset after eating kibble, or he developed skin issues. He gets all he needs from the clusters and pours! I wish THK was around to feed to my first little guy. I'm grateful Henr� didn't need to take meds to calm his skin for years or Pepcid to settle his belly. My little guy enjoys eating THK clusters and pours; I'm comfortable with the attributes that set THK apart from all other foods I researched -- the limited and healthy ingredients, human grade, baked in small batches --and grateful as I watch my little continue to thrive!
