Our company is committed to providing nourishing products for cats and dogs, to promote health, vitality and well-being. The foods and supplements we make are developed and produced with uncompromising quality and attention to detail. No expense is spared in our superior ingredients and state of the art manufacturing, which takes place in a human food facility for complete peace of mind.
The essence of these products is the integration of a companion animal's ancestral diet of fresh meat and natural, unprocessed foods, the quality and wholesomeness of a homemade meal, the convenience of a diet that is already nutritionally balanced-and meals that can be prepared quickly and simply, with minimal effort. The Honest Kitchen was founded from the search for a natural, human grade food that would be good enough for our pets to eat. The foods and supplements we offer are the fruits of our pursuit of perfection in contemporary canine and feline nutrition.
Many pet owners now regard their companions as true members of their own' people families' and recognize that they were probably not designed to eat a monotonous diet of the same highly processed food every single day. Many commercial pet foods have been cooked and extruded under extreme heat and pressure, where low-grade ingredients have been pulverized beyond recognition-the nutrients obliterated and then replace with synthetic substitutes.
We are pleased to introduce a unique and innovative approach to canine and feline nutrition: delicious, nutritious, wholesome meals, ready to prepare and serve at home. Our fresh approach incorporates minimal, low-temperature dehydration and blending. This results in colorful products with the real food ingredients clearly visible to the naked eye.
Stirring up the pet food industry
Our foods are bursting with naturally occurring vitamins, minerals, amino acids, essential fatty acids and phytonutrients, as well as healthy fats, protein and fiber, all the fuel dogs need to thrive and lead a healthy life. Our products are guaranteed 100% human-food grade because they are not produced in a pet food plant. They are made in an FDA approved, human-food producing facility in Southern California, that makes the very same foods you eat. Our foods contain absolutely no by-products, added salt or sugar, chemical preservatives, artificial colors or flavors and NO beet pulp, rice, wheat, corn or soy. These are common allergens for dogs and can cause dry, itchy skin, hair loss or dullness, lack of energy, chronic ear problems and chewing at the feet.
"Fast-Food" has never been viewed as a wise option as the only source of nutrition, day after day, for human beings. But many major pet food conglomerates claim that a monotonous diet of "fast food" kibble and canned products is acceptable for pets. Many manufacturers have even promoted the idea that "people food" is bad for dogs, and will "unbalance" what is in their bags and cans.
At the Honest Kitchen, we take a different view and believe a selection of fresh, whole, human-grad foods are much better than the cooked mixture of by-products, fillers and other processed ingredients being served to many unfortunate pets, day after day.
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.
Our foods are completely free of all chemicals, by-products, fillers, wheat, corn, soy, rice and beet pulp.
VERVE is also dairy-free. FORCE and EMBARK are entirely free of grains, while PREFERENCE is a grain and meat free base.
And just because you love them there are SMOOCHESCookies for Pooches.
