Questions & Answers

62 Customer Questions


If I make this in the evening and mix with my dogs kibble, and my dog doesn't eat it immediately, can she eat it the next morning after it has been sitting out all night? Sometimes she eats her her right away, and sometimes she eats after we go to bed.

When it says “cups of meat to add per day” is that 8 ounces of raw or cooked meat? Since raw meat cooks down this could make a big difference.
Answer by ChewyApr 09, 2018
The measurement is based on raw, uncooked meat.

How many lbs of meat (total) do you need to add to make the whole box (7lb box of base).? I’d like to buy all the meat I need at once, prepare all the food & freeze most of it. Thank you.
Answer by ChewyJan 01, 2020
Overall, you will need approximately 5 pounds of meat for the 3 pound bag of base mix, and approximately 11 1/2 pounds of meat for the 7 pound bag of base mix.

Hello, someone asked if there were pesticides used to grow any ingredients and the answer was vague- the answer was that there are no chemicals in the product, which could mean chemicals as ingredients. Can you please clarify that no pesticides were used to grow any of these ingredients? Thank you!!
Answer by ChewySep 26, 2019
The Honest Kitchen raw ingredient suppliers use very minimal pesticides, and only when deemed necessary to protect a crop against pests. If pesticides are used, the produce is tested for residues in accordance with normal food standards for humans.

amazing for special tummy problems

My Amelia had been having tummy troubles trying to find a food since her special diet food is constantly out of stock, I tried vegan/vegetarian fry foods since she needs to be on a low protein diet, she was having a very hard time. I switched her over to this and her tummy problems were solved! Definitely will be using this whenever her special food is out of stock!

Never again

I was excited to try this but when I received the package it is mostly dehydrated cabbage 15 heads to be exact. It gave one of my dogs massive diarrhea but my other two seemed to like it so I continued with it approximately 5 more days. Both dogs began to itch and scratch all over. I stopped feeding it to them and the itching stopped. I am sorry the product did not work for my dogs.

Fruity Veggie Soup

I used these base mixes to supplement my dog's kibble diet -- recently he developed kidney issues and I was able to quickly change my dog's diet to more base mix with protein toppers. This way I can control how much protein and phosphorus he's eating. It worked and his blood tests came back within normal range!

Good stuff Dog approved

My picky dog who has to have limited ingredients and fat due to allergies and pancreatitis actually likes this as a topper on kibbles or mixed with meat and used as a topper. It is fairly green in color but he loves cabbage and it is good for his tummy, so this is a win for us.

picky eater

My dog is a very small Chihuahua and a picky eater. She loved this at first prepared the way they suggested it but then stopped. I started to sprinkling it on her food dry and mixing it in and she loves it this way. So if you need to add an additive to your pet's protein diet, try sprinkling this on dry and mixing in rather than rehydrating and mixing it in.

Glad we gave this a try!

I went down the path of making my own dog food, but don’t have time to prep. Our dog is extremely picky, and I had my doubts about ordering a big box. He loved it. So does his friend that often visits. We don’t use as his primary food, but his nightly “wet food” treat and it’s been amazing.

4 of 6 dogs…

Four of my six dogs have no issues with this premade fruit & veggie mix, the other two will eat it, but would prefer something else. This fruit/veggie mix is heavy on the ‘greens.’ Seems like a lot of spinach and other green veggies and very few fruits. Because of this, I occasionally mix this in with another premix brand that is heavy on the fruits and light on the veggies. I make my own food with ground meats with bone. Because I have large dogs I make several 20# Tupperware containers at one time. I have found if I cut the meat chubs open and place the meat rolls in the containers and then pour the dry HK in and it basically rehydrates from the meat. This makes the food ‘stiffer’ as opposed to thin or watery. My dogs prefer it stiffer as opposed to runnier. Overall I like Honest Kitchen products, but tend to ‘tweak’ them due to being heavy on certain ingredients (in this case, heavy on the greens and too light on the fruits).

Our New Favorite

We are longtime THK users as that's the only thing that works for my rescue shepherd with an esophageal disorder. We always get the grain free beef but switched to this since I've been cooking at home much more and would be able to add the necessary protein. We love it even more than the other products! His coat is so soft, his 'old man groans' (he's 10) have lessened and he seems to have more energy. Recommend!

All Natural

I like this mix of flavorful fruits and veggies and usually mix it with Honest Kitchen's dehydrated chicken recipe or the beef recipe, and use as a topper for my girl's kibble. So much better than canned dog food and she loves it.
