My girls also eat The Honest Kitchen Force and Embark. The consistency is mushy. I have found that if I rehydrate about 2 cups at a time, scoop out what is their portion and refrigerate the rest that in subsequent feedings it is a little firmer. Remember this is a raw food that is dehydrated and pulverized, so it isn't supposed to be firm and crunchy or have chunks of fruit/meat/veggies in it. Occasionally you will find a larger piece of something in it.
The color of both the Embark and Force is green when you mix it. I don't add anything to ours as it is nutritionally sound as it is. My girls tends to be very picky eaters and they love this. I switched them over from home cooking (which is also not firm and crunchy). They get this for their dinner meal (about 1/4 cup each) and they get yogurt with Missing Link for breakfast along with small pieces of fruit and veggies throughout the day. They have done fabulous on this food and you can see the difference in their poop - the color, smell and consitency of it. Plus their coats look great!!!!
