We suggest dividing daily amount into two servings, one in the AM and one in the PM.

Our foods must be hydrated with water before serving, but you can add slightly more or less water than we suggest, according to your pet's taste. Refrigerate or discard any leftovers.

For dogs over 90 lbs: add 3/4 cup per additional 10 lbs body weight. Puppies: 1 1/2-3 months old feed twice the adult amount; 3 - 6 months old feed 1 1/2 times the adult amount; 6 - 11 months old feed 1 1/4 the adult amount. Gestation/lactation: Feed enough to maintain ideal body weight, food may need to increase 2 to 4 times the amount listed.

Pet food quality standards

The Honest Kitchen does more than meet the highest standard for food safety and quality — we invented it. A few other pet food brands have since followed our lead, but most continue to use inferior, feed-grade ingredients. Once you learn the difference, you’ll never go back to feed grade again.

The Honest Kitchen

  • Higher quality ingredients.
  • Subject to ~100 manufacturing and quality control regulations.
  • Meets strict food safety standards.
  • Does not include by-products, waste or "4D" meats.

vs.

Feed-Grade Pet "Food"

  • Lower quality ingredients.
  • Subject to ~15 manufacturing and quality control regulations.
  • Meets the basic standards for animal feed.
  • Ingredients may include slaughter by-products, restaurant or supermarket waste, feathers or "4D" meats: animals dying, diseased, disabled or dead.

Our Promise to You

A vast majority of pet food makers use stuff we never use from places we don't trust. The Honest Kitchen is made in the USA and never contains the potentially unsafe and unhealthy ingredients found in feed-grade products.

No By-products
or fillers

No Additives or preservatives

No "4D" meats
or feathers

NO CORN, WHEAT
OR SOY

No Ingredients
from China

No GMO Ingredients

Farmers and growers that measure up

It’s hard to get on our list — and for good reason. Our suppliers must certify they meet the strictest standards for food safety and health as well as sustainability and fair-trade practices.

Every year, each of our dog food suppliers signs our “Human Food Grade Guarantee” and “Statement of Quality and Integrity.” We think it’s important you know what they have to live up to.

  • Foods maintain human-edible status from harvest and all handling, screening and cleaning, through delivery to our human-food plant.
  • Every ingredient includes a Statement of Country of Origin.
  • Supplier adheres to Good Manufacturing Practices (GMPs).
  • Foods are not genetically modified 
or subject to engineered recombinant DNA technology.
  • Verification that all ingredients are free 
of chemicals or adulterants.
  • Verification that all foods are free of chemical preservatives, such as Ethoxyquin.
  • Supplier follows sustainability and fair-trade practices where applicable.
  • Supplier guarantees ingredients do not originate from China.

Safety and quality you can see

100% Human-Grade Kitchens

Most pet food makers would never invite you inside their kitchens—because they’re not kitchens. They’re heavy processing plants. But our food is prepared right alongside breakfast cereals and bakery mixes, so it satisfies the same rigorous safety, cleanliness and quality standards of people food.

  • Registered and inspected by the FDA (U.S. Food and Drug Administration).
  • Meet SQF (Safe Quality Foods) level II standards for human food safety.
  • Exceed all proposed FDA guidelines.
  • Exceed HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points) food safety regulations.
  • Exceed established GMPs 
(Good Manufacturing Practices).

A higher standard of quality assurance.

The Honest Kitchen Food Safety and Quality Assurance Program ensures that all of our recipes meet human-food standards. We analyze food nutrition, monitor water activity and test for pathogens. We also screen for harmful heavy metals in every batch of our food, four times a year.

We test for germs

We test all aspects of our dehydrated dog and cat foods to rule out anything that could possibly hurt your pet. That includes all the bad things you can only see under a microscope, like:

  • Bacteria, such as salmonella, E-coli and listeria.
  • Yeast and mold.
  • Contaminants, such as heavy metals and melamine.
  • Verify pH and proximates (protein, fat, fiber and moisture).
  • Random regular tests of nutrient values for vitamins and minerals.
See the results of our screens (PDFs):

We screen for heavy metals

Heavy metals occur naturally in some ingredients and the FDA hasn’t established tolerance levels for U.S. foods, so, we follow internationally recognized human-food standards set by several agencies around the world.

  • European Union – Commission Regulation 1881/2006 setting maximum levels for certain contaminants in foodstuffs.
  • Codex Alimentarius International Food Standards – Food and Agriculture Organization of the United States, World Health Organization (Revised 2016).
  • Health Canada – Government of Canada, 
Maximum Levels for Various Chemical Contaminants in Foods.
  • Australia, New Zealand Food Standards Code – Standard 1.4.1 Contaminants and Natural Toxicants.
  • Food Safety Authority of Ireland – Commission Regulation 488/2014 Maximum Levels of Cadmium in Foodstuffs.

  • Minimally processed to hold onto important nutrients.
  • Contain finely ground, whole food ingredients to ease digestion.
  • Retain the colors and aromas of their fresh ingredients, making them far more appetizing to your pets.
