Honest Kitchen dog food? - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Does anyone or has anyone ever used this food? It looks very good and maybe even like it is acompany that could be trusted. I am seriously thinking about giving them a try.

Both of mine are picky eaters...even my golden. I'm hoping they will like it.

I'll let ya know next week

I looked on thier store locator and I think there is a place here in town that sells it. I think I might try and find them and at least go in and get enough to sample. Things are often more expensive here than they need to be so I will probably end up buying it on the internet but don't want to wait a week or more before getting them situated. I really hop they like it!

Sure sounds good. Maybe contact them and ask for a sample?

TLC · 03-30-2007, 01:24 PM

The shipping via Fed-X Ground (from California where they are located) to NY (me) was only $10.00 - IMO that wasn't bad.

Product = $55.00 + $10.00 (Shipping)

I would call the store first to make sure they have it. There also was a store 2 mile from me that was listed as stocking, but they only had the one that had no meat protein in it, so I decided to just buy it online

myteddybear · 03-30-2007, 01:27 PM

I don't know yet what the shipping to me will be but I can't do ground as I am in Alaska so need to have everything pretty much shipped via USPS priority. I wonder how much higher that would be? Hmmm, off to call that store now and see what they have.

I went through the whole 'order process' online and before they ask you for your credit card info, you can select what shipping method and it gives you the shipping cost - this way you can just get an idea before actually making the purchse

myteddybear · 03-30-2007, 07:00 PM

I just drove into town and got several sample packs. I will try them tonight and maybe tomorrow morning and if they like it I'll buy it there, it was actually a couple of bucks cheaper than on the site.

I'll let you know how they like it! They are really picky so if they like it it should be good!

Everything looks good about the food to me.All natural human grade ingredients

.The only thing I am concerned about is that the food will be soft.I don't know if I want to trade one problem for another by dealing with bad teeth because they are on soft food. What are your thoughts about that?

Yorkieluv · 03-30-2007, 07:25 PM

I think as long as you take care of the teeth by brushing them, they should be okay. I know yorkies are predisposed to having bad teeth, but if you take care of their teeth, I see no reason why they can't eat soft food. I mean, we eat soft food all the time and we don't have rotten teeth

Yorkieluv · 03-30-2007, 07:28 PM

I have also been wondering about this food. I may want to try giving it to Emma after she finishes her bag of Canidae. This is a raw diet, so I would probably get the kind without any meat in it, and add my own cooked chicken. Not sure yet...

TLC · 03-31-2007, 03:33 AM

Kim,
I am really excited to see how your little ones like it? And how you like it?

I ordered the Force (Chicken) and Verve (Beef) - tracking says I get it on the 5th. But I also like Yorkieluv idea to get the one without meat and add you own

Very exciting!

...don't forget to update us...

bettyeanne · 03-31-2007, 04:48 AM

Toto has been eating the Force for a long, long time!! She loves it! We tried samples of all of it and settled on her fave. I add a little minced chicken, a teaspoon of english peas and a little chicken broth [homemade with no spices and fat strained off]. I make all this in bulk and use my "Food Saver" to freeze it in small packets so I always have it on hand. All I have to do is rehydrate the Force with warm water, add the chicken, peas & broth and she gobbles it up!! Our vet examined all the ingredients before we gave it to her and gave it

!!

WOW - So maybe you can answer a question I have:
Is all the ingredients, including the meat that they use Raw (uncooked)???

Yorkieluv · 03-31-2007, 07:14 AM

Okay, I'm losing it...I meant to say Merrick's in my last post, not Canidae... Oops!
bettyanne, thanks for the review! I'm glad to see that someone has fed it and had a wonderful experience. Is the meat in their food raw?
