| Honest Kitchen Dog Food I never did get the free sample I requested, so when I was again visiting their website, I noticed they have "travel packs" of food for anywhere between $2.50 and $3.50, so I ordered one of each of the meat formulas. The girls have been eating the Force (chicken/veggies/rice) mixed in with their home cooking and they seem to gobble it right up!! Next we will be trying the Verve (beef/veggies/grains). When I'm down the the last travel pack I ordered, we are going to purchase this and transition dinner to this meal. Honest Kitchen is human grade food made in an FDA inspected facility. All the ingredients are certified organic as well. This is a freeze-dried RAW formula that smells a little like soup when liquified. I do heat it up for about 25 seconds for them. The formulas are designed for you to use for a month at a time and then switch. My girls are giving it

| Yaaayyyyy!! I am so glad that others are discovering the Honest Kitchen foods!! Toto has been eating Force for a long, long time and not until the recent food scare have I realized how fortunate I was to discover it way back then. Her vets were impressed with it too.

| Just wondering why you all are switching to the Honest Kitchen foods when you've been homecooking? Is it the convenience or do you think it's better balanced?

| With feeding the Honest Kitchen, what do you give your dogs that is hard (like kibbles) for their teeth? Having used it, what is the price comparison with a good brand of kibble? I was going to order their travel packs too, but the shipping was over $8.00 just for those little packs. I thought that was a bit excessive for me. |

| I'm looking for something easier for travel as well as knowing it is balanced. The ingredients are almost identical to what I've been cooking, so I feel good about that. I just need something a little easier. I'm going to be traveling this summer with the figure skating girls I teach Pilates with and I can't be worried about running out of home cooked food while I'm gone.

For their teeth, my girls get hard home-made treats and they regularly get Pixie Sticks along with their Petzlife Gel and teeth brushing.

| I ordered Force for Toto yesteday ... 4 travel size + shipping was only $18.05 total. The 4 oz. travel size will feed Toto for over a month, so feeding her Force for over 4 months for $18.05 doesn't seem that expensive to me. She gets 1 T, rehydrated with warm water for about 20 minutes, plus about 1 t. minced chicken tender and sometimes I throw in 1 t. minced green bean [these are heaping teaspoons]. I only feed her this in the morning, midday she gets about 1 T. of Innova small bites kibble. If she appears hungry I will give her another tablespoon kibble around dinnertime ... most days she doesn't even want it. Between 6 - 7 every evening, after patiently waiting for us to have our dinner and everything else to settle in for the night, Toto gets really antsy. She will come to us and begin to "talk" in her tiny little voice. We simply look at her and quietly ask "Will you dance?" She flies to the sofa, leaps up to her little "dance floor" and dances [with all four little feet] the cutest little dance we have ever seen. Sometimes her little feet are going so fast, she almost falls off the sofa!! After our little floor show, she leaps down, runs to the cabinet where her dehydrated chicken tenders are kept and sits waiting patiently for her treat!! After she eats that, she gets a long drink of water and she is done for the day!! We also use the PetzLife gel and spray for her teeth.
