Dehydration, or drying, is an ancient and gentle method of food preservation. Food dehydration works by removing only the water. Almost all other nutrients remain–and become highly concentrated. Dehydrated foods are highly nutritious, easy to prepare and store, and light-weight to ship.
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.

I hiave been feeding Honest Kitchen for a couple of years now - ever since the Great Dane Lady recommended it on my first K9 College Cruise. Their products are top quality and my Cavaliers can't wait for dinner!

This looked so healthy, but I don't think my dogs like veggies that much and they did not like the smell of it. Too bad, it was easy to make SF
3. Brooke on 4/28/2009, said:
Great ingredients, and, according to my dogs anyway, superior taste!
4. Debra on 4/1/2009, said:
This is a great product. It produces beautiful coats on my dogs.

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 dog really liked this and she doesn't like a lot of dehydrated foods. I used this as a topper on her dry food and it worked great and she was licking the bowl.
2. Susan on 11/17/2009, said:
Nice food but a bit different from the others in this line of product. My dogs were not crazy about it.
3. Karen on 11/4/2009, said:
Just got a 4 oz bag to try with my 6 month old Beagle. She LOVED it. I have tried various type of can food to mix with her kibble, but she just walks away. This time, within seconds, she came running over. I will be ordering a box once it is back in stock.
4. Greta on 8/3/2009, said:
My dog likes Addiction brand better than Honest Kitchen, and it smells better for sure. She licks up every crumb.
5. Nancy on 7/16/2009, said:
ick; only using this product to wet some dry food for my 15 yr. old choc lab. would not use product as regular food.

Weird color, but good mixer with meat. Dogs took a day or two to get used to something about it. Taste? Texture?
2. Chris on 11/4/2009, said:
I mix this with Embark and Force so I don't really know how much the dogs like it by itself. I like the ingredients.
3. Candie on 10/23/2009, said:
I try to be very well informed regarding dog food ingredients, i'm a pet groomer and boarding kennel owner and often discuss pet foods with clients.
This is the best product i've found for our 2 dachshunds and small poodle, no one has itchy skin anymore. Not even the Chinese Crested.
Very convenient to use, it smells wonderful.

My dog, who has a nervous and sensitive gut, is thriving on Honest Kitchen products! He eagerly eats them. I like Keen for the soothing properties of the oatmeal; Rowdy just likes the taste!
Chicken Heart Bites - Our freeze-dried, grain-free treats are perfect to complement the raw diet. Why defeat the purpose of feeding a grain-free diet by giving treats made of wheat flour? Our treats are made from the same human-grade meats and vegetables as we use in our foods. These convenient easy to feed snacks can be used dry as a training treat (they make great ring-bait for dogs) or reconstituted for a more savory meal replacement.
Or for a more savory treat, reconstitute by crumbling and soaking in a small amount of warm water.

Born to Be Wild - Genetic research reveals inside every dog is a wolf. Over thousands of years, wolves evolved to thrive on meat from the wild -not supermarket. Supermarket meats lack key factors of wild meats. It's a myth to believe supermarket meat provides an evolutionary diet. You're fooling yourself and cheating your dog.
Born to Be Wild is the first formula designed to help turn supermarket meat into wild meat. In fact, BORN TO BE WILD helps kibble--or even the best raw foods--become more of a wild diet.

This one gives Abigail gas. Love the brand but I probably won't buy this recipe again. We'll go back to the venison and fig and skip the brushtail.

4. Greta on 10/31/2009, said:
I have been experimenting with making my own homemade raw meals for my Bernese Mountain Dog, but nothing seems to give her so much energy and lift as Addiction dog food. Right now the biggest winners seem to be the ones with brushtail like New Zealand Forest Delicacies and Perfect Summer Brushtail.

This formula is my favorite one by Addiction. I like that the protein source does so much good for my dogs, showing in nice healthy, shiny coats and also the fact that the source is not only healthy, but is a completely new source of protein for allergic dogs. This formula, as with all dehydrated Addiction foods, is easy to feed and easy for the dogs to digest. I have never had any dog leave any of these foods in their dish. It all ends up in their tummies leaving my dogs satisfied and feeling great.
2. Marsha on 12/13/2009, said:
My 2 Bostons go nuts for this food. I recently had to switch their diet due to allergy issues with what they had been eating. From the start of feeding the entire line of Addiction foods (kibble, canned & dehydrated raw), they've never experienced any problems--no digestive issues and their coats are looking better, also.
3. Susan on 11/17/2009, said:
This was perfect in every way!! They loved it and easy to mix and feed to them. My dogs had very bad skin problems, and they are doing so much better. Their fur feels silky. NO more scratching!! Yeah!! They only problem is that K9 is allways out of stock on this product.
4. Diane on 10/3/2009, said:
It must be good as it is often out of stock. My dogs loves it.
5. Rebecca on 9/7/2009, said:
This is a great product for dogs that have allergies to certain foods. The dogs like this formula and their coats and skin are very healthy.
