What do The Honest Kitchen diets look like once hydrated?
All the diets have a texture resembling muesli or "loose mixes" before hydration with some colorful pieces of recognizable fruits, veggies and grains (for Verve). All diets have a very pleasant aroma. After hydration, the foods look more like oatmeal or stew.

Do The Honest Kitchen diets contain bone?
The Honest kitchen diets do not contain any bone. All of our diets contain ONLY Human Grade Ingredients and dehydrated bones are not in high demand for human food, so they are not a readily available ingredient. Our meats are 100% pure USDA muscle meats only. Raw Meaty Bones may be mixed in with our foods.

Will adding in meats and raw bones affect the Calcium: phosphorus ratio in my pet's diet?
The Calcium: phosphorous ratio in our foods is balanced with the vitamin premix containing human grade tri-calcium phosphate, and is set at a ratio that allows for additional meat and raw bones to be mixed in without throwing the ratio outside its optimal limits. As a general guideline, we recommend about ½ cup of meat or RAW meaty bones (such as chicken backs/or necks) to 1 cup of dry-measured Honest Kitchen diet.
NEVER FEED COOKED BONE!

What is the shelf life on The Honest Kitchen Diets?
All of The Honest Kitchen products have about 12 months' shelf life prior to hydration. Once rehydrated, any leftovers should be treated like raw food and refrigerated or discarded.

What are the standards for the all natural ingredients in your products?
All of the ingredients in our products are of US origin. And everything is USDA inspected, human edible. Our meats are hormone and antibiotic free. In addition, all the fruits and vegetables are certified GMO-free. Our flax, barley, oats, rye and kelp are all Certified Organic.

What constitutes one cup of food?
Our label feeding recommendations are based on 1 cup (8 oz by volume or 4 oz by weight). 1 Cup of dehydrated food will make approximately 1 lb (or a little over two cups) of fresh food once rehydrated. A 10 lb bucket will make about 43 lbs of rehydrated food.
