Reviews

Great quality, my picky cat is still deciding

"“I really like the quality of this food and that it’s made with human-grade ingredients. It was simple to prepare and I like being able to add water and serve it fresh. My cat FayFay can be very picky, and while she was curious and came over to sniff it, she wasn’t ready to try it yet. I’m going to continue offering it to her and give her some time to get used to something new. Overall, I really like the ingredients and concept. ”"

Azhar M. (5/5)

Game changing food

"My pup has a sensitive stomach and one day decided kibble was no longer digestible and anything for a while wasn’t good enough. The vet recommended this food and she has been so good since! I recommend this brand to all of my friends and those who have switched have seen similar results with their furry friends."

Olivia A. (5/5)

Perfect Poop & Happy Pups

"I was searching for an alternative to cooking for my dogs. It took a minute for me to wrap my head around the powdered consistency/water ratio, but my dogs love it, poop is perfect, and I have my freezer space and prep time back. At first, it felt like I wasn’t feeding them enough, but it was more about me getting used to the form/volume/prep. It was my issue, not the dog’s lol! I mix this with the Fish and Oat recipe because the fish has less fat and one of my dogs is more sensitive to fat. After some trial and error and a deep dive into AI, I learned that many of the similar food brands were crazy high in fat. Honest Kitchen checks all of my boxes. Just give yourself time to settle in through the Goldilocks/head-scratching phase of. . not enough, too much, too watery, too pasty."

Janae J. (5/5)

Their Healthy Best

"We changed over to Honest Kitchen Grain Free Chicken about 18 months ago. We have 4 longhair dachshunds - 4, 8, 12 and 15 years old. They have never looked as good, had such consistent stools or had dogs that drool for their meals. They are so excited - every time. Their weight is excellent and was something I was concerned about but it is great. The only negative that I have is that their teeth build tarter although it is soft tarter and wipes or brushes off easily. If you choose to use this food be aware of the teeth. Otherwise, it is an amazing food."

Andra O. (5/5)

Great Food

"I love this food because my dogs love this food . It is a very healthy freeze dried food with many important ingredients and nutrients. But most of all it is affordable. Many of the freeze dried foods or fresh dog foods are very expensive and unaffordable. Thank you Honest Kitchens"

Kathleen S. (5/5)

So convenient

"My dogs love this food. It is so convenient. I use it as a supplement to my home made diet. It also works well for stuffing kongs."

Q&A

We have a 7 year old Malinois that walks about 7 miles per day. We are very interested in the Dehydrated Grain Free Chicken option. How many servings would we get out of a 10lb bag? He typically has about 1.5 cups of kibble (Farmina grain free Lamb) available to snack on as he needs, as we feed him his current frozen raw food at night. We are bout to take a few months long roadtrip and frozen isn't an option for us.
Hi Reid, Here are the cup amounts for each size package for estimation: **Dehydrated:** - Each 10lb box yields approximately 40 cups of the dry mix. - Each 7lb box yields approximately 30 cups of the dry mix. - Each 4lb box yields approximately 16 cups of the dry mix. - Each 3lb box yields approximately 14 cups of the dry mix. - Each 2lb box yields approximately 8 cups of the dry mix. ![HOW MUCH TO FEED PER DAY 160-80 80-40 80-40 40-20 40 - 20 20-10 20-16 10-9 16-13 WEIGHT TOY I -10 LBS SMALL Il - LBS MEDIUM 31 -50LBS LARGE 51-70 LBS GIANT 71-90 LBS ACTIVITY LEVEL AVERAGE HIGHLY ACTIVE AVERAGE HIGHLY ACTIVE AVERAGE HIGHLY ACTIVE AVERAGE HIGHLY ACTIVE AVERAGE HIGHLY ACTIVE ORY CUPS PER 1/2-1 1/2-1 1-2 1-2 2-4 2-21/2 4-41/2 21/2-3 41/2-51/2 cups OF WARM ADD 1/3-3/4 3/4-11/2 3/4-11/2 1 112-3 1 1/2-3 3-6 3-33/4 6-63/4 33/4-41/2 63/4-81/4 APPROX. 101B BOX WILL •We suggest dividing daily amount into two servings.

My 13 year old dog recently was diagnosed with kidney failure. He needs to be on a low protein (less than 15%) and low phosphorus (less than 0.4%) diet. Do you have a product we can use?

Please let us know if you have any other questions!
Hi I have 2 golden retrievers both female. They both weigh about 75 pounds. As far as I can tell they have no food sensitivities. I have been feeding them both the HK grain free recipe. They look good and happy. A good amount of energy for this breed. Recently a friend suggested that bigger dogs needed grains. And also white potatoes were not a good ingredient for dogs . I am considering changing them to the limited ingredient chicken that has quinoa and sweet potatoes. I do think that wheat is not a good ingredient for dogs. Do you have any suggestions or articles I can read on this topic? In the past many different people including breeders and vets have different opinions. It is very confusing to me. I am of course looking to maximize their healthy lives as much as possible. They also get joint supplements and the HK goat probiotic. Thank you
Hi Jenn, I'm sorry to hear about your concern. I can confirm that there have been **zero** cases of DCM linked to any of our products. Recently, there has been discussion about the FDA's investigation into the use of lentils, legumes, and potatoes as substitutes for grains in dog food. This study was prompted by concerns over a possible connection between these ingredients and Dilated Cardiomyopathy (DCM) in purebred large breed dogs, due to the presence of compounds called lectins that could potentially block taurine absorption. However, the FDA has concluded its investigation and has not released any evidence linking these ingredients to DCM. Here are a few links where you can learn more about the recent study: https://www.avma.org/news/until-more-science-available-fda-will-end-public-updates-potential-link-between-certain-diets https://www.fda.gov/animal-veterinary/outbreaks-and-advisories/fda-investigation-potential-link-between-certain-diets-and-canine-dilated-cardiomyopathy https://www.fda.gov/animal-veterinary/animal-health-literacy/questions-answers-fdas-work-potential-causes-non-hereditary-dcm-dogs Due to varying opinions on the subject within the pet and veterinary industries, there has been some confusion due to the FDA's past study. However, our recipes are made in a way that neutralizes lectins in these ingredients through processes such as steaming and pressure cooking, which make them safe to use without blocking taurine. We have always followed this process and are also adding taurine to our recipes, which already contain naturally occurring taurine due to their high meat content and minimal processing. We recommend feeding your dog a combination of whole grain and grain-free options, but either one is acceptable as long as your dog doesn't have a grain sensitivity. Our recipes never use fillers, so every ingredient serves a purpose. Whole grains offer fiber, omega fatty acids, and essential vitamins and minerals. Meanwhile, our grain-free recipes contain ingredients like peas, which are high in the antioxidant Glutathione, and are a great source of vitamins and minerals. Potatoes are also included in our recipes and are an excellent source of carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. Linked below I have included a link to our updated blog on the current DCM concerns in pet food. https://www.thehonestkitchen.com/blogs/thk-updates/the-honest-kitchen-s-update-on-dilated-cardiomyopathy-dcm I hope this clears things up a bit. If you need anything else, please feel free to reach out. I know this info can be overwhelming, so I'm happy to clarify.
How many cups in a packet? I have a 45 pound labradoodle 15 years old. How many of those small packets should she have in a day ?

You can check our feeding guidelines using the link below to know how many packets you need per day. https://support.thehonestkitchen.com/hc/en-us/articles/360026989632-How-much-do-I-feed-my-pet Please let me know if you have any other concerns. All the best,
Are all your types of food low sodium or just the dehydrated

Here are our lowest sodium diets, in ascending order: Marvel 0.13% per cup 28.97 mg/100kcal Marvel - Limited Ingredient Turkey Dog Food (thehonestkitchen.com) Keen 0.13% per cup 31.8 mg/100kcal Keen - Organic Grain & Turkey Dog Food (thehonestkitchen.com) Verve 0.19% per cup 49.54 mg/100kcal Verve - Organic Grain & Beef Dog Food (thehonestkitchen.com) Hope this info helps!
