The Honest Kitchen, a pioneer in human grade pet food, is expanding its treat portfolio with the launch of new Slow Cooked Jerky Chews, arriving just in time for Jerky Day on June 12. Made with just four thoughtfully sourced ingredients, these protein packed chews bring human grade quality and ingredient simplicity to the dog treat aisle, delivering a craveable, high value reward pups will love. 

As protein forward eating continues to gain momentum in the human wellness space, pet parents are increasingly seeking similar benefits for their dogs, prioritizing diets that support lean muscle, sustained energy, digestion, and overall vitality. As a leader in human grade pet food, The Honest Kitchen is bringing these evolving nutrition standards to the pet aisle with recipes that go beyond traditional kibble.
