The Honest KitchenHuman Grade Dehydrated Grain Free Beef Dog Food 2 lb - Love

My dogs adore yr product

My dogs really seem to enjoy beef products and this is no exception. They really like it mixed with some freeze dried raw, and again the raw is beef also. I have just started with The Honest Kitchen (about 3 mos. ago) and have been trying all products to learn what they like best. I think I have a winner. I only gave it four stars instead of five because of the condition of the box when it arrived. It was in a plain postal bag. The box was crushed on one side and there was a hole in it.

I have a pretty picky, spoiled rotten (by my wife who treats him like her 5th child) Boston Terrier, who acts like a food critic whenever you place a bowl of food down for him. It's as if I'm terrified of the reviews I'll be seeing in the local paper, written by my dog and his last dinner. He ate Kibbles & Bits ever since he was a pup, then suddenly, at 5 1/2 years, he decided he just wasn't going to eat it any more, and the search was on to end his hunger strike. I read all the great reviews from people who had similar problems getting their picky dogs to eat, and this food being the solution. They all stated it looked like green oatmeal (and didn't look very appetizing), but their dogs didn't mind the look, and ate it up. By the reviews, I decided to try it. My dog wouldn't go within 3 feet of his bowl the first few times I made it. I finally got him to at least go over and smell it (he always does this before eating anything, and after that he wouldn't go anywhere near his bowl. After a week I finally gave up. In their defense, I also ordered the new Amazon brand of dog food as a backup, I think its called Wag, and he wouldn't touch that either. But that one didn't have reviews that read like this dog food was the saving grace you've been searching for (written by customers who bought it, not by the seller, just to be clear). After going through this with many other dog foods, I finally decided to research what exactly my dog required for a good balanced healthy diet. Surprisingly, the required foods I would need to purchase to make my own dog food, healthier than anything I could by unless I was spending an extreme amount of money, was actually less than what this food would cost to serve him the same amount of days. Dogs don't require anything fancy, just healthy, and if it smells like what I'm eating, he'll do flips for it. I know make his food. A monthly supply of food for him (2 cups a day) costs me anywhere from $20 to $25/month. Much less than what a months worth of human grade food costs. The biggest bonus, he couldn't eat it fast enough from the very first serving. Still eats every meal without hesitation (although I did learn my dog won't eat his peas). This food may be great for some dogs, I definitely don't know enough about it to knock it, and the ingredients are healthy, that's a fact. But it didn't work like I thought for my dog. But in the end, I learned that I could make his food at home, just as healthy for less money (with no added preservatives), in less than 20 minutes a week cooking time. And, my dog finally quit complaining and now eats every meal.

I have started slow, and it is only day 2, but so far, so good!

I have two medium sized dogs that now seriously stalk me in the kitchen when they think I am mixing up this food. It is so fast to mix! It is an unusual texture when dry...not what we are used to seeing. When you add warm water from the faucet, it transforms into a thick meaty dinner with a few veggies in there to add nutrients. I originally purchased it because I wanted to move away from kibble. I always tried to find a healthy kibble but all of them had something not so great. I searched and searched for a healthy meal for my girls that I could afford. Some of the new foods you see in ads are soooo expensive. I love my dogs so much, but I couldn't afford the fresh ones. This food is just as fresh afer rehydrating! One of my dogs is 12 and was starting to lose weight. She kind of picked at her food and I was worried. Now she jumps all over me for this food and devours it in seconds. Yay! The way she is eating this, she will gain weight by the end of the week! Thank you thank you thank you!
