All True Stories
UPDATE: It is November 2020 and Wiggles, my precious little poodle mix, had hit her 15th year on this earth. Unfortunately, we lost my little girl suddenly and she went to the rainbow bridge on November 5th, 2020. She lived her best life and was loved deeply. The last THK food she loved most was the Limited Ingredient Chicken. Wiggles' health changed from one day to the next. On the 4th she was doing her thing like any other day and then on the 5th she woke up struggling to breathe. We found out she has cancer in her lungs; we have no idea for how long she was sick for as she hid it very well. Looking back though there had been little things that changed and I thought it was due to her age. I am grateful for finding THK when I did as I truly believe it contributed to her quality of life and provided her with good health so she could live as long as she did. I do not think she would have lived 15 years if THK had not been a part of her life.
nThe instagram account I set up for her is still @thenotoriouswig and I will memorialize my little Wiggles there. Thank you Honest Kitchen for providing this amazing product which helped my little pup for so many years.

nUPDATE: it�s 2018 and Wiggles is going on 13 years strong! She continues to be healthy and now enjoys her minimal Turkey THK. I found for her, minimal is best so I will purchase any of the minimal ingredient flavors for her, but turkey is her current favorite. For updated pictures follow Wiggles on the gram @thenotoriouswig

nUPDATE: Two years after my original post, Wiggles is still enjoying Honest Kitchen food. Her favorite is now Revel, but she still enjoys many of the other Honest Kitchen flavors. She is now fully blind (due to her age- 10 years!) but still is happy and chipper. Due to all the health issues she had before starting Honest Kitchen, I would not have expected her to live this long. Thanks THK!!!

nORIGINAL POST: After my dog had several skin issues (dandruff, dryness, itchiness, hot spots), a lackluster coat, hair loss, yeasty ear infections, not wanting to eat, but still being overweight, I had had enough of everything that made my dog downright miserable. The vet didn't really know what to give her other than anti-biotics for the yeast infections. I wasn't going to live with a sad, dandruffy, yeasty dog anymore. I went to the net, researching dog foods on different dog food review websites, dog advocate websites and pet chat boards. I tried several high quality kibbles that Wiggles would eat for maybe a few days to a week and then just turn her nose up or knock over the bowl and refused to eat. I tried canned food but never found one that even after slowly transitioning, really made the diarrhea she got go away. After a particular nasty hot spot due to some food allergy to lamb kibble, I was losing hope of finding a good food for my little Wiggles.

nI don't remember how I stumbled upon The Honest Kitchen, but I'm sure glad I did. This food changed our lives. Wiggles was super excited to eat! She LOVED all the flavors but licked her plate clean the most with Keen. I feared that with feeding the low gluten options in addition to the no grain options, her skin issues would come back, but they didn't. Her skin issues were greatly reduced and eventually went away. No more yeasty dog smell or dandruff. She was excited to eat. She lost the weight she gained from the dry food and is at a healthy weight for her size. She's a lot perkier and if it wasn't for her gray chin hair, you would think she was a puppy since she is so happy and chipper. As difficult as it is to find in stores, I will always feed her THK food, and I'm lucky the company is local so if I have to order online, turn around time on my orders are quick! Thank you so much for the wonderful products you have made.
