The Honest Kitchen Dog Food
The Honest Kitchen is an all-natural, human-grade pet food. It’s a ‘just add water’ pet meal is made with dehydrated ingredients such as meats, vegetables, fruits and grains. It is manufactured in an FDA approved human-grade facility.
By dehydrating the ingredients, the whole foods in their recipes maintain the raw nutritional properties, such as amino acids, enzymes, vitamins and minerals versus a kibble which has been extruded or cooked under extreme pressure. To re-hydrate Honest Kitchen products, add 1-1.5 cups of warm water to the mix and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes.
They encourage adding additional items like raw meat and bones, yogurt, or vegetables. All recipes are free of fillers and by-products.
They offer six dog food diets, (four are completely gluten-free, grain-free) and one cat food diet.
The Honest Kitchen Formulas:
- The Honest Kitchen Force Dog Food
- The Honest Kitchen Embark Dog Food
- The Honest Kitchen Thrive Dog Food
- The Honest Kitchen Keen Dog Food

Hey I’m considering purchasing some pet food’s and supplies from the honest kitchen of some of their products. Can anyone advise me? I seek the best for my companion friend and a new addition coming in a week or so. Also I’m looking for the best in mineral waters (non sparling). So if any one is wise to the truth in advertising…please let me know. Thanks, jim
I’ll be ordering some of their stuff in the next few weeks for my Ridgeback. I’ll post back and let you know how it goes. All of there stuff looks like it’s high quality.
My 4 dogs are all on The Honest Kitchen product and I will NOT switch to anything else. It is very high quality and my dogs love it! It’s very convenient, easy to serve and I love how I can mix other things in like (veggies, cottage cheese etc). The supplements they offer are great too! Browse the website…they have a great .pdf with recipes. You can find coupons as well. Be sure to sign up for their newsletter for ideas and specials. Also, if you have ANY questions about their product just pick up the phone and call! The staff is always willing to help!
Wow. I thought I spent a lot of money on dog food, but the cost of this stuff is nuts. I really did not think you could pay more than I did, I use Orijen and Horizon Legacy. But 10 pounds of this stuff is almost a 100 bucks, thats almost 10 bucks a pound, heck my dog could be eating steaks for the cost of this product.
The food is dehydrated so it’s actually 43 pounds of food. And the 10 pound boxes range from $55 (Keen) to $82 (Embark).
Isn’t most kibbles dehydrated ?? At the site I was just at, Embark is 102.99 and Keen was 70.89, this is where I buy some of my dog food. I have some samples coming so I will get a better look at this product on Friday. I did notice it is also at my favorite pet food store and I will take a closer look at it and see what they are charging. I noticed another company has a similar product out.
Jess – kibble is hard but it’s a complete meal. With The Honest Kitchen, you HAVE to add water to it for it to rehydrate.
Those prices are really high… have you checked out their website?
thehonestkitchen.com
This is absolutely great stuff.
If you don’t want to do the raw feeding and would like to get off of the kibble rollercoaster, The Honest Kitchen is the answer to your prayers.
EVERY dog will eat this and digest it properly
4 Dogs and a cat on 3 different HK formulas… Can’t wait for the fish
If you don’t do raw….this is still the very best!!!!
My dog gets Keen or Thrive mixed 1/2 and 1/2 with his kibble for breakfast. Its awesome! I have noticed a great difference in his coat, and he goes crazy over his meals now. He always eats with enthusiasm, but it actually looks like he is savoring this food, its amazing! The honest kitchen’s website has the best prices, and right now if you do their online survey they are offering free shipping. Keen and Thrive are the most affordable ones, I agree that the other are a bit too much, but they are grain free if thats your dog’s thing.
Great post TK
I think the more people learn about Honest Kitchen, the more kibble companies should be fearful!
The possibilites of this product are endless!!!
Can’t say enough about this fantastic product
I understand that a box makes 40 lbs of wet food and 10 lbs of wet food last half as long as 10 lbs of dry food…
Honest Kitchen Embark is currently on sale at heartypet.com for $72.99 for the 10lb box
I started Orijen adult in the morning and Honest Kitchen for dinner Embark mixed with a little meat. My 11 month American Eskimo loves, loves loves the Embark and likes the Orijen too. she was on eukanuba before and never ate anything. I started cooking for her and then found the honest kitchen. I am considering changing her over totally to hk maybe trying one of the other formulas.
My dog only weighs 20 lbs so it is not expensive if you add to the food.
