The Honest KitchenDehydrated Whole Grain Turkey Dog Food, 7 lb Box

For the past few months I've been extensively researching for a better food for my 3 small dogs, one is a schnauzer and the other two, yorkies since the the regular dry store bought kibble hadn't been doing my little ones any favors, especially in the weight department. After giving up trying to find something better at the big box stores, I figured I'd have better luck on Amazon.I came across this product while looking at the Sojos brand of freeze dry dog food and figured I'd try this one first since it's cheaper and would probably be better for weight loss and maintenance.One thing I always check is the ingredients and the nutrition panel when comparing different brands and flavors. With this particular food, I noticed that the ingredients on the list were fantastic with all of them free of nasty, harmful GMOs, and many of them being organic which is what I feed the human members of my family. Also worth mentioning, the ingredients are also human grade which is very reassuring so you know it's higher quality and doesn't contain questionable chemicals or ingredients like euthanized shelter animals (crude protein in many cheap-o brands of dog food, seriously. Look it up, it's a real and tragic thing folks).On to the nutrition; If you have a puppy or active dog, this is probably not the best formula, and this company has many to choose from. I would say it's best suited for the less active mature/senior dogs like mine. That said, since they have been eating this food, they've actually had more energy and want to play much more than they used to!The fat content in this particular food is very low in comparison to most other dog foods, the protein content is mostly from the beef and comes in at a moderate, but healthy percentage for omnivores (which I'm sure you know that dogs are omnis and not carnivores such as cats). Dogs absolutely need protein, however, too much protein can burden the liver. This formula also includes a nice panel of vitamins and minerals added in addition to the naturally occurring nutrients from the food's wholesome ingredients.Out of the bag, it's a super green powdery texture with small pieces of what appears to be fruit, oats and veggies. I have to say the first time I measured it out and examined it, I was concerned, especially when I added the hot water. However, once reconstituted and cooled, the product has a lovely thick texture and smell, which is easy for my dogs to eat and digest.For the preparation; Super easy! I just use a large Pyrex jug, fill it will purified water, microwave for a couple minutes then add in the correct amount of measured dry food from the package (which is a plastic resealable bag in a snug cardboard box). I let the food sit to fully absorb the liquid and to cool down, then feed to my anxiously waiting fur babies who are ready to gobble every last drop!!Tip; I personally like to add in some organic Turmeric into the hot water and create a lovely tea base full of antioxidants before adding in the dry mix to add more health promoting benefits. Using hot water creates a much better texture/reconstitution than if you were to add cold or cool water.The best part besides the fact my dogs love the taste and don't waste, feeding time is easy, much more controlled since I am using this to help my dogs achieve a healthier weight, and this seems to last a long time. And, since the box is smaller, it is easier to store than a large bag of dry kibble, or many, many cans of moist dog food.So far the improvements I have seen in all three dogs has been: more energy, weight control/management, better health as per vet checkup since the last. They overall seem to be happier and, as long as this product stays on Amazons subscribe and save program which makes it more cost effective, I'll continue to purchase because the quality I get from this is far better that's what seems to be out there, as for right now.Hope this helps!

My dogs gobble this food up! It's less expensive than what they were eating before (FreshPet and Costco kibble), simple, and the dogs seem to be satiated. A huge plus for us... one of my dogs has pretty sensitive skin and his belly constantly had itchy rashes that were crusty and would take out patches of fur. This went on for years. I tried salves and even gave him Benadryl every day. Nothing helped. Once the conversion to this food was complete, his skin healed up completely and very quickly. All his fur grew back and he seems much more comfortable.

I wanted to add a human grade product as a complete topper. I already add cooked chicken and probiotics. The Honest Kitchen Whole Grain Beef Recipe was an INSTANT hit! My Springer couldn't wait for me to put her bowl down. She totally cleaned her bowl and enjoyed every bite. I'll be buying more since I'm using it as an "add on" to enhance her regular food. I appreciate the human grade ingredients and she thinks they're darn good, too!

i have been using for over15 years and never any problems . they like the taste of all the dehydrated food..i i have tried every flavor they carry. the cons: the price is to the extreme i have had to cut down on the pouns fom 10lbs to 2 and 4 lbs. and try other brands. also it is really grounded into powder than it usedto be but same quality. and taste. i know this because i taste it my self. i recommend 100%iam on a fixed income please try and lower prices or give discounts. somethig

My picky little girl will often skip meals even though she’s so active! We switch up her food often as she seems to like variety. She usually loves the new food we get her then gets tired of it! This food was a hard no for her and I’m so surprised. She likes it when I cook for her but doesn’t like this stuff. Such a bummer because it’s so convenient and healthy! Definitely love this brand though and will try their beef kibble next!

With 4 rescue dogs with differing ailments, we started to make our own dog food. We quickly realized how much time it was taking to make sure it was fresh and balanced…not to mention a TON of food. We slowly introduced Honest Kitchen and the dogs love it just as much as the homemade food and with the time it saves, the cost is pretty much the same as kibble. Our dogs are less itchy maintaining a healthy weight. Highly recommend.

Lots of great ingredients, they love the taste of it. If you have older dogs like me, this is a great way to hide medicine that doesn’t taste well. It’s easy to mix up, the ingredients are all really good. I highly recommend this product.

My three medium to large dogs love it, however, it's very expensive compared to the regular dry food I've been giving them for years (Purina One True Instinct). I was looking for something more nutritious and somewhat of a wet food. Found this and bought it thinking it would be as much food or more than the 16.5lb bags I've been getting. Boy was I wrong. The 10lb box says it makes 40lbs worth of food. This is very misleading. I give them 1 cup of food & 1 cup of water twice a day and at this rate I will be out of food in 1 week. $70 a week is pretty steep comparitively. Each dog is picky in their own way, one will go for a couple days without touching her food if she's tired of it, one will throw it up due to occasional upset stomach, the last pretty much eats anything but doesn't like sweet things. They all love this stuff, but can I afford it? That's the question. I'm going to try mixing with dry food to extend the box. It sure smells better than typical dry food though.

Human grade, so convenient for people wanting the best for their dog, a raw diet that doesn't have to thaw. Personally, I don't eat meat very often. I avoid the blood and mess and the garbage can that smell like rotten meat. This product has every bit of the goodness of a raw meat diet just none of the yuk. I weigh out the amount of dehydrated goodness (43.5 chickens in the 10 lb box plus oats, veggies and other good things. Just add enough water to make it the consistency your dog likes. Poops are small and firm. The other great thing is my dog isn't bugging me for more food. She doing great., full of energy, vitality,. She is almost 7 and people think she's a puppy. I know it's because I feed her the best and this product fits the bill

My 13 year-old Poodle loves this and doesn't need encouragement to eat this. She has always loved kibbles but she could not digest them well. No issues in regugitation after she started on this.

First time trying for our furboy and he loves it! His digestion are better now after changing to this diet and stools are normal and regular.

I mix honest kitchen dog food with raw meat to give the best diet for my furry baby. My dog never been this healthy.

Excellent product, my dogs didn't care for the Chicken Force.. but they love the Turkey, ( I have really picky dogs)Love that they are loving a well balanced human grade food...( we use to cook chicken and veggies and have to add all the other vitamins... obviously this is way easier, and they look healthier, their fur is so much shinier!
