The guy at the store I purchase my NV raw from told me that the rabbit is currently on backorder from China, which I don't know if that's true, but it certainly scared me!!

I have recently done a TON of research on The Honest Kitchen, and really think it's top-notch stuff. The ingredients are actually the only dog food company that has legally been allowed to use the term "human grade" on their food. The stuff is also manufactured at a human food plant, which is a good thing.

They test each batch of food for pathological bacteria, which the other raw companies do not do. The meat and egg in the HK food is also dehydrated at a temperature high enough to kill any bacteria, but low enough to preserve the nutrients of a raw food. If your squeemish about raw, or have a pup with an ultra senstitive GI, that seems to be the way to go. I am curious to watch the quality control of the food as the company grows...

we LOVE THK! great food!! we rotate this through the girls diet, as well! it smells SO yummy... i want to eat it!!
