Thrive - Naturally gluten-free, Quinoa is a valuable source of complete protein. It contains every single amino acid and is especially well-endowed with the amino acid lysine, which is essential for tissue growth and repair. In addition to protein, quinoa features a host of other health-building nutrients.

My dogs love it. They are on a few Honest Kitchen foods and love them all. I've noticed improved coats (which were nice to begin with).

My Australian Shepherd Rowdy, whose intestinal issues finally cleared after a year of home-cooking, is thriving on Honest Kitchen's foods. He eats Thrive, Verve, and Force. They are also helping his allergies.

My dogs like it and they are healthy & thriving.

Both my dogs enjoy THRIVE mixed with Tripett. I have also noticed that their poops smell less with the dehydrated/raw food.

This food smells weird, but the dogs seem to enjoy it. Made my guys a bit stinky.
15. Nicole B on 7/9/2008, said:
From the moment I start hydrating the food, my dog walks around it and can't wait to get at it. It's the first food over the last 10 years of my dog that she is actually excited about!
I love it!
16. Oscar on 7/2/2008, said:
My two westies love it. I mix 3 cups of Thrive, with 1-2 cups water, one pound of ground turkey and shredded cheese, some garlic for flavor, 3 egss, mix it in the food processor, and bake it at 350 for 45 mins, then cut it into squares (1"x1") and give it to them as treats or regular dinner. They just love it!!!

Thrive appears to be either too "rich" for my Wheaten and Welsh terriers or else there is an ingredient included in the mix that does not agree with them. All three have regurgitated part of this meal at one feeding or another. Think I will stick with Force.
18. Sandra on 6/17/2008, said:
Dogs loved it. It was easy to fix. No more bad dog breath.

For some reason my dogs wouldn't eat it.
20. Andrea on 4/21/2008, said:
My boys (2 labs, brothers, 2 1/2 years old) both really like this stuff. They eat this in addition to others.
21. Lauren on 4/11/2008, said:
I purchased this without really knowing what to expect as I have a very picky eater and another with terrible food allergies in our group of four, but I was very pleasantly surprised. So far everyone loves the food and are doing very well on it. No allergy symptoms or upset tummies (I did introduce gradually in small increments) and my selective-eater is happily enjoying Thrive. Overall, I am very happy with this product and will be buying it again!

I have 3 dogs - my 14yo Lab/SharPei's coat has improved dramatically. Thrive has eliminated the food sensitivities of my 8mo Lab. And, after owning my 8mo Boston Terrier and feeding her quality food, the Thrive has improved her coat and attitude. I am ordering my 2nd bag today - I am sold on Thrive!!
