THE HONEST KITCHEN

Introducing a new & innovative approach to canine nutrition: Natural, delicious, dehydrated raw dog food. These tasty foods combine the wholesomeness of a home made diet with the convenience of an easy-to-prepare, scientifically balanced blend. They are 100% human grade dog food and our commitment is to the absolute highest quality ingredients and manufacturing procedures.

All of our dog food and dehydrated raw dog food products are formulated to meet the AAFCO nutrient profiles for dogs and you don't have to add anything to make them 'complete'. However, the original idea behind these diets was as a base for a raw or other fresh homemade diet and to facilitate that, they are somewhat 'lite' in terms of fat and protein, so that your own choice of raw, or cooked, meat can be added, if desired.

It is entirely a matter of personal choice (and your dog's taste!) whether you add in extra meat and other ingredients, or not. Most people with younger and more active dogs like to mix in the additional meat, and those with senior or overweight animals usually prefer to feed the organic dog food alone. Please call or email if you would like to discuss what is right for your dog, or if you have any questions regarding our organic dog food products.

The Honest Kitchen supplies pet owners with the best in fresh dehydrated raw dog food and other organic dog food products.

All life stages; puppies, pregnancy, lactation, active adult dogs & healthy seniors. Thrive is naturally low-carb, with just 37% carbohydrates. Low carb diets are often indicated as part of a holistic approach to cancer recovery.

Never heard of Quinoa? Pronounced Keen-Wah, it's a treasured ancient grain from Bolivia in South America. Our Quinoa is fair-trade, sustainably grown and 100% certified organic.

Naturally gluten-free, Quinoa is a valuable source of complete protein. It contains every single amino acid and is especially well-endowed with the amino acid lysine, which is essential for tissue growth and repair. In addition to protein, quinoa features a host of other health-building nutrients.



This is great that it contains quinoa, I know that is good for us to have in our breads, one of the most healthiest flours we can use!

These ingredients are a bit different, they may produce some not so welcome gas in your pet, but worth trying, use their travel size to check it out to see before purchasing a large amount.

I just ordered some from their site, I checked amazon and with their amount of shipping it was a wash out so I went straight with the company and was able to get a travel size of the Force to try as well.

I'll let you know when I get it and how my babydoll likes it.

Well, we rec'd the order promptly and I started mixing it in with the food we already were using. And sadly, out of all the different foods I have been switching her to this past few months she really doesn't like this. She leaves half of it in her bowl and I am mixing it with ground turkey, yams and rice along with the kibble. So I stopped feeding her this. I will try and mix it into some other ingredients to make her some Gluten free bisquits , maybe finnish it up that way. Now this was the Thrive. I did get a sample pack of the Force, which she may like better.

I have been trying to diagnose just what it is she isn't caring for and I think its the spinach, it seems to be heavy with that smell and taste probably, and also parsely and kelp, I think it's just too much cholorophil, she isn't the kind to eat grass all that often, maybe once or twice a year. Other dogs that like to graze may really love this, who knows!

We will eventually try the Force, but for now we are letting her take a rest with her newly found food . ( see post on Eagle Point).
