How do I make your dehydrated recipes?
Making our dehydrated foods is as easy as 1-2-3!
- Just add water
- Wait 3 min while food re-hydrates
- Serve with love!
For our base mixes, follow the same steps above and also add your dog's favorite protein.
Do I have to add water to your dehydrated recipes?
Yes! It is imperative that you re-hydrate our dehydrated recipes before serving. The food swells when it comes in contact with moisture so it's important that this takes place in the food bowl before consumption, and not in your pet's tummy. When the food is hydrated with water, it will not swell further after eating, which is why our food is so great for breeds who are prone to bloat.
Do I have to feed The Honest Kitchen foods as 100% of my pet's diet?
No, our foods may be included in our pet's diet in a variety of ways! Check out the A,B,C's of how you can use them:
-
A is for All Alone Feed Honest Kitchen food by itself as a complete meal (except for our Base Mixes, which you mix with meat). Just add water and it's ready to go!
-
B is for Base Mix Use as a base for your own home-prepared ingredients. Lots of people love to make their pets' food. Honest Kitchen recipes are an excellent starting point (with balanced calcium: phosphorus ratios) that you can mix with your own meat and other goodies.
-
C is for Complementary Mix with kibble as a convenient, healthy whole food topping that provides more phyto-nutrients than cooked diets. Because our foods are gently dehydrated, they retain much more of the natural nutrition that conventional pet food production methods. If you aren't ready to make the switch to 100% fresh or dehydrated food, try our recipes as toppers, so your pet can still enjoy some of the benefits of a whole food diet! Feed a _ and _ mixture of Honest Kitchen and your favorite dry food or in whatever ratio works well for your pet.
-
D is for Defrosting error Use as a stand-in when you forget to thaw your raw! Some of our customers feed raw food most of the time. But sometimes, schedules can be disrupted or plain old absent-mindedness can set in. Our foods are great to keep on hand as a stand-in for just such occasions!
-
E is for Emergencies Dehydrated foods are compact to store - you can keep our products in your emergency preparedness kit for up to 12 months and they'll be easy to take if you ever have to leave home in a hurry.
-
F is for Fun outdoors Take on your travels, backpacking and camping - our dehydrated foods are lightweight, and quick & easy to prepare for a tasty meal on the road. Each dry-measured cup of our food makes a whole pound of fresh food when re-hydrated.
What exactly does 'Human Grade' mean?
Human Grade means food grade or fit for human consumption. For us, it's a line in the sand about the quality and integrity of the finished products we send out the door. We blend our healthy pet food in a human food facility that makes things like breakfast cereal and bakery mixes. So, we abide by the same strict standards for safety, cleanliness, record-keeping and overall quality as the place that whips up your favorite cookie dough.
Is your food raw?
Our recipes are made from dehydrated whole food ingredients, but they're not quite the same as raw. Our meats, fish, and eggs are gently steamed at about 165 degrees F before being dehydrated to make sure they're safe and free of any pathogens, without the use of harmful irradiation. The steaming process means that these ingredients are not considered raw. Our leafy greens are also steamed in a dry-steam process which takes place after dehydration, as a food safety measure. All our remaining produce is dehydrated below 104 degrees F, and is still considered raw after the drying is complete. Our potatoes and grains are flash heated (and rolled in the case of our grains) to help break down the cellulose, which aids in digestion. They are then gently dehydrated to remove the moisture.
How will my dog's teeth get clean with a soft food?
Contrary to popular belief, kibble doesn't actually clean the teeth. For the most part, dogs (and some cats) actually swallow their kibble whole and don't chew their food at all. You'll know this if you've ever had the misfortune of seeing your pet regurgitate his kibble, when those pellets come back up the same way they went in! This means the pellets don't have a chance to come into much contact with the teeth, and even if they were to be crunched, they aren't really hard enough to have an abrasive action that's effective enough to scrape tartar from the teeth. If kibble is chewed (which may happen in some smaller dogs and cats) the sugars and refined carbohydrates are actually more likely to get impacted into the gum line, which is detrimental for the long term health of the teeth and mouth.
I can see bits of food in my dog's stool, are they not absorbing the nutrients?
When dogs eat a high moisture, whole food diet such as ours, the stool will not look the same as it did when consuming a dry kibble or raw food. The stool will reflect the colorful ingredients going in. It's not abnormal to see pieces of carrots, spinach, etc. present in the stool. The nutrients, phyto-nutrients and antioxidants from the foods are still being absorbed. Since the food is high in moisture and fiber it's also common for the stool to be more voluminous. Our office dogs go 3-4 times a day.
Why can't I feed my puppy the Base Mix recipes?
Puppies have slightly different mineral needs. Of particular interest are calcium and phosphorus, which our bases mixes do not support the levels and ratios necessary for puppies. We have several diets that are designed to support puppies during their rapid growth months.
Once I've added water, can I refrigerate the food? For how long?
Once the dehydrated food has been rehydrated with warm water, you may cover and refrigerate any uneaten portions for 2-3 days. Frozen leftovers will keep for even longer. We suggest adding a little bit of warm water to the mix and stirring before serving.
Do I have to add extras, like meat or other foods?
No, adding other ingredients to our diets is not necessary (except for our base mixes which require protein to be added). Our foods are formulated to meet the AAFCO Nutrient Profiles and can be fed alone. However, many of our customers love to mix up their companion's meals with home-made extras. We encourage this because we think pet's deserve variety in their diets just like we humans do. Our foods have balanced calcium: phosphorus ratios to allow you to add in extras in moderate amounts without throwing these important minerals outside their optimum ratios.
If I want to add extras, what do you recommend?
Popular add-ins are meat, raw meaty bones, cottage cheese, plain yogurt, veggies and fruits. We recommend 1/2 to 1 cup of extra ingredients for each dry-measured cup of the food.A more active dog would have these quantities added to the regular food serving. For a less active or senior pet, you can cut back the amount of Honest Kitchen food to allow for the additional ingredients being included, and prevent the calories from increasing too much.
How do I store your food and what is the shelf life?
Our dehydrated foods are naturally shelf stable and should be stored in a cool, dry place - out of sunlight. We don't recommend refrigerating our food when it's dry, because this can introduce moisture. If you want to freeze the food, you should hydrate it first (some of our customers like to freeze in individual pre-made portions). If you do choose to place the dry food in the freezer, we recommend keeping the box in the freezer for the remainder of its use.Our Complete Diets have a shelf life of twelve months from the manufacturing date, depending on the ambient temperature and humidity where you live. The date of manufacture is printed on the top of every box in a specially designed tear out and keep card.

100% Human-Grade Pet Food
The Honest Kitchen follows strict standards established by the FDA for human foods, including over 100 manufacturing and quality control regulations. Their pet foods are produced in a human food facility right next to products meant for people. As one of the world's first human-grade pet food companies, The Honest Kitchen is committed to making high quality, safe and nutritious products for your pets.


Dehydrated for Maximum Nutrition
The Honest Kitchen has adopted a time-honored dehydration technique for gently preserving their foods. This helps to retain more of the natural vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients found in the whole food ingredients.
Highly Concentrated and Easily Digestible
The dehydration process removes the moisture from the food, making it compact and nutritionally dense. So, a 10-pound box makes 40 pounds of fresh food. The whole food ingredients are also diced for easier digestion and nutrient absorption.
Ingredients with Integrity
The Honest Kitchen is made in the USA, and their recipes use only the highest-quality ingredients, with no additives, preservatives or GMO ingredients. To ensure quality, their suppliers must meet strict standards for food safety, as well as sustainability and fair-trade practices.

My dog loves it!
By Carly on Feb 22, 2021
My dog hurt her back leg and was not able to walk. I was looking for something different than the canned food I was feeding her. I got a 10 pound box of the turkey freeze dried food. My dog loves it! I've noticed that her fur is softer and she just looks healthier all around. She is slowly getting better and her walking is improving each week. I just mix in enough water to make it feel like the raw ground turkey you might buy at the grocery store. This has vegetables and fruit and vitamins in it. I'm so glad I found it. Sincerely, Carly

So Thankful!!!
By Fire on Feb 2, 2021
I have a picky Pomeranian, I have spent hundred's on "grain-free" dog foods for Fire, thinking they were the best foods for him, little did I know, they are not for Fire! He would take a few bites of a good quality food; WildEarth, Wild Blue, Science Diet and a few others, only to find out he would just leave the food sitting. I quit giving him chicken, which I thought was good for him, again, little did I know, he is allergic, would scratch constantly, another reason for the many food changes, which I know isn't good to go from one to the other! I drove to WA from Florida, my niece is a groomer and found out what Fire's issues were~~scratching. He's on Brevecto and Seresto collar, so no flea I have a picky Pomeranian, I have spent hundred's on "grain-free" dog foods for Fire, thinking they were the best foods for him, little did I know, they are not for Fire!

If anyone knows, the annoyance of continuous scratching, it's beyond frustrating to watch on a continuous basis. I am so Thankful to have this and know about it. … more

By EJN1050 on Feb 21, 2021
I bought this because my 10 1/2 yr. old Dixie mix has liver disease & this was recommended by several online veterinary sites & my veterinarian wanted her on a low to moderate protein diet. Also the fact that it was less processed & human grade sold me on it. So far both my dogs seem to love it. We’ll see in 3 months when she goes for her next labs if it’s helping her liver.

Betty loves it!
By Anna on Jan 18, 2021
I have a picky eater. She eats other foods but always seems hungry shortly after eating and is always begging unless her food is supplemented with a topper, even then she gets hungry before her second meal. The first time I gave it to her she didnt eat it, but she wasnt feeling well and didn't eat her normal food either. We tried it again and she seemed confused at first but gobbled it up, she gets only 1/2 of the recommended amount of this kind currently and she gets 1/3 of her kibble. Even now she doesnt get hungry until its time to eat again. She occasionally begs but doesnt cry like she did before because she was hungry. This food fills her up, and she thinks it tastes good. More water I have a picky eater.

More water gets added because it gets a bit thick and she doesnt like it as much, she likes it a little soupier. Trying to measure so it fits your dog better may be a part of getting your dog to eat it, but once you get it to a point where they like it, you might end up with a happier, less hungry dog. … more

RubyReview
By RubyReview on Jan 16, 2021
My dog Ruby loves the taste of the food and doesn't have any issues eating it whatsoever. I love that it has moisture in the food. However, I do not love the price point. Ruby is a 50 pound dog and eats 2 cups per day meaning that a 10 pound box will last us 18.5 days. That means that each day is about $4.11 worth of food that she eats. The honest kitchen needs to quit advertising the phrase "but it makes 40 pounds of food so it cost less" no it doesn't. It still cost more. Yes, it is a pretty decent quality food but it still has some not so desired ingredients, such as potatoes and in other recipes peas/lentils. Just something to watch out for.

My Dogs LOVE this food
By MalteseMomma on Jan 30, 2021
This food has the best quality ingredients. My two little Maltese love this food. They eat all of the food in their bowl, twice daily. They have never turned this turkey flavor down. I am so pleased with the quality of this dog food made in a human grade facility. Thank you Honest Kitchen, you have two very happy little Maltese dogs that love your food.

The Honest Kitchen Whole Grain Turkey Recipe Dehydrated Dog Food
By tgq1 on Jan 24, 2021
I have been trying different healthy brands for my 2 small dogs. They have refused to eat all of them except this one. This is the 5th brand I have tried. My dogs love it and even lick the bowl clean. I am going to try the other flavors and I hope their reactions are the same as the Turkey. My Sophie is now 15 yrs old and has lost most of her teeth, so she can eat this of course with no problems. I am so happy I have found The Honest Kitchen for my dogs.

Great for picky eaters
By Morgan on Jan 11, 2021
I have a 3 year old boxer who is quite the picky eater. Upon unboxing this she just watched warily from the side. However once she tried it, she loved it! She now sits and waits for me to fix and add it to the top of her food. She would prefer to just eat this but I mix in another kibble as well. My other boxer (1 year) is not a picky eater and loves it just as much.

For picky eaters
By MariaBella on Nov 29, 2020
My picky little princess went through many different brands when we first adopted her. She either hated it, itched, or had diarrhea. Finally, I came across The Honest Kitchen dehydrated food. She’s been on it for about a year now, until recently the vet recommended that for her breed, I needed to feed her whole grain instead of grain free. Done! She loves it, still. Also they finally came up with small breed kibble in whole grains. She likes that too.
