HONEST KITCHEN DEHYDRATED RAW DIETS

All of the dehydrated raw dog food products from Honest Kitchen are formulated to meet the AAFCO nutrient profiles for dogs and you don't have to add anything to make them 'complete'. However, the original idea behind these diets was as a base for a raw or other home made diet and to facilitate that, they are somewhat 'lite' in terms of fat and protein, so that your own choice of raw, or cooked, meat can be added, if desired.

It is entirely a matter of personal choice (and your dog's taste!) whether you add in extra meat and other ingredients, or not. Most people with younger and more active dogs like to mix in the additional meat, and those with senior or overweight animals usually prefer to feed the organic dog food alone.

Please call or email if you would like to discuss what is right for your dog, or if you have any questions regarding our organic dog food products.

Up to 50 lbs.................................... 2 Cups
