This food is excellent. I don't serve this outright as a full meal but instead use it as a premix base with my homemade food. While The Honest Kitchen does have a premix option, there are times where this is cheaper than the premix.When using this as a base, I don't add much to it considering the ingredient list. What I added was some seasonings, beef kidney, beef liver, more ground beef, beef tripe, salmon oil and a small bag of mixed vegetables. The texture ended up looking a bit like thinned out oatmeal but I'm fine with that.Like the premix, this has been good to my girl. Her skin and coat has been shiney without shedding. She hasn't been itchy. She's highly energetic. Her breath isn't bad and her bowels are smaller without being overtly offensive.I'm all for the purchase of this food as a complete meal. Even without the additional meats and grains I still trust The Honest Kitchen. It actually looks like beef. I recently purchased Three Bears from Grandma Lucy's only to be disappointed. For a food to have beef, you'd think it was a light brown color but no. This food for sure doesn't lie about their meat content and it smells pretty darn good. It taste good too. I've tasted all the meals not kibble I've presented my girl to date. If I didn't know better I may consider eating her food.Overally, these dehydrated mixes is worth the purchase. My family loves them. I highly recommend all of the ones I've purchased from The Honest Kitchen to date.

I bought a small bag accidentally and let me say- I came back for it. My dog LOVES this food and not only is his coat shinier but his poops are so much healthier too. Do I like the smell? No- but he does and that’s who counts. So absolutely worth it for us and it is very lightweight!

I have 3 chihuahuas and have tried so many dif foods for them. 2 of them gt bored with the same flavor all the time and 1 thts not picky is 12yrs old so i wanted one tht was good quality, lots of dif flavors, easy to eat (small dogs=small teefs and lots of teefs taken by dentist), and affordable. This brand checks all the boxes. We also use Stella&Chewy and Ziwi(this ones expensive!) The variety has been a game changer. I have had to tweek amounts cuz its easy to feed thm too much. I call it their doggie oatmeal cuz basically it is. We also get the harder crunchy food but i usually smash it up some for them.*One problem i did encounter is my oldest guy Gary ended up with extreme constipation cuz this food does have a higher carb count. It was not pleasant. An enima was performed cuz xrays just showed he was extremely backed up. Again I have small 7&8lb dogs. Anyways it was a rough few days. After tht I used more water with the mix and added a bit of freeze dried beef or chkn frm Stew&Chew also would alternate between this doggie oatmeal and Stew&Chew digestive food. Now we are good. Lessons were learned. Also another game changer was adding a green lipid mussel supplement mixed in once a day. Not only is everything moving out on time but he has so much more energy than he ever has. This lil 12yr old chihuahua named Gary gets major zoomies. He runs out of gas quick but he used to get pulled muscles or hip pains if he played too much…not anymore. Also another thing tht changed is his sinuses. He would gt sinus infections maybe 2-3 times a yr and now none since the shift.My other 2 dogs are very young but one guy Carl is part Italian Greyhound so he has long skinny legs and both is knees pop out every day. His elbows pop like crazy too. Hes a rescue n whn we got him 2yrs ago he had no hair on his chest and got rashes on his nose all the time n extremely skinny. Hes still skinny but now he has chest hair its very thin but thts the iggy in him. His knees ache less. And he gets very zoomy too. Our baby Birdie is just 2 but shes a chipom so I know i have to watch her diet cuz heart issues n diabetes run in her dna.Long review with extra stuff thrown in but I wanted to explain why we love this brand. (Along with others) Trying to find the right food has been difficult. Vets always recommend Hills or Royal Canine n they arent terrible but the nutrition in those blows my mind cuz it has corn n other fillers. Our dogs would gt so bored with those they would rather eat the grass they peed or starve than eat anymore of tht kibble.So in Conclusion….this brand is amazing! Affordable for our small 3 chihuahuas and I think its gonna help them live long healthy n happy lives!

Bottom Line up Front: A waste of money. Period.My shipment of normal dog food was running a couple days behind so I popped on to Amazon and saw this really quick with high reviews and being in a hurry I bought it and didn't look into it. It was just a stop-gap solution, how bad could it be. After getting it I read the box and see that it doesn't say the source of the meats, just "beef". Then I see that it only has:- 22.5% protein- remaining is over 50% carbohydratesYep, this is all Oats. After portioning it out and re hydrating it with bone broth it still tastes like, has the consistency of and looks like Oats. I taste what I feed my dog and I can tell you it tastes like oaty cardboard with a dark tinge to it.This product obviously has a REVIEW FARM behind it. I doubt it will be available for very long.I went to the local grocer and bought some kibble to hold my dog over.Buyer be ware!!!

So my pup had a really uncommon medical emergency happen to her. She had intussusception ( which is basically the intestines telescope fold into eachother and it’s hard to diagnose since it doesn’t really show well on radiographs or ultrasounds) Which if not caught in time, most dogs only have about 3-7day survival. Starfire had a really bad case of it and ended up going into an emergency surgery after no one was finding anything on rad’s or ultrasound so I had a specialist take a look as time was ticking and she was getting worse each day. She became lethargic, pale and was leaking bloOd.She was rushed into surgery. So her small colon was taken out and her cecum. It was questionable she would survive. She had a fight in her though so her vet and me worked on finding a perfect very low fat and very high fiber diet. As now we were facing the issues of chronic diarrhea which can also be harmful.I spent days of research and finally came across this brand. The beef formula was exactly what she needed! It was expected for her to have chronic diarrhea with her disability now but within a 1.5months of being on this diet she started finally forming normal stools again! Her 3 vets were actually shocked!I’ve never seen her get so excited for feedings either! She literally started doing this once we made the switch! She’s thriving and recovering well! This food literally helped save my baby girl!Also it’s super easy to prep! I got a food container and make a couple days worth and it stores in the fridge and doesn’t smell weird or anything. I do notice once it goes in the fridge it gets more firm so I splash a little water on it before giving it- you don’t gotta do this it’s all on your dogs preference but I do it so she gets some extra hydration in her. Besides this food saving my girl, it’s actually really healthy! It’s all good stuff in there and not a bunch of unnecessary stuff.Just don’t get the grain free one. Dogs are meant to eat grains unless medically restricted from a licensed veterinarian.Hope my story sheds light on how great of a food this is!

My dogs do not like this At all unfortunately, my jug threw it up and my cheagle turned her nose up,The quality and freshness spot on, Just the flavor . It could be the oats I’m not sure, It would be great if they had trial bags for this particular food…. So you can see if they like it or not before purchasing a box. Don’t let this review determine weather your dog will like it or not. It just didn’t do it for my picky eaters

Giving this 3 stars. One star is because my dog likes it. One star is because it does not contain liver. And the third star is because the box I have contains organic oats and barley. However, I am still searching for a better food than this. I noticed in the store that some boxes that look exactly the same no longer state the oats and barely are organic. I contacted the company and was told that they made a business decision to no longer add organic grains. Game changer for me. Non organic oats are sprayed with Glyphosate. No thanks! Then to add insult to injury, I recently learned that both oats and barley are high in nickel. They are great for soluble fiber but the nickel will eventually poison you. How did I learn that? Well, I ate oatmeal for breakfast every day for 6 years and became nickel toxic. I can tell you from experience, detoxing from nickel is no fun. It's painful! One reviewer states her dog developed seizures after eating this food. That could very well be from the nickel in the oats and barley. Nickel affects the brain, the lungs, and the gut. It can also affect the skin. Kale is also high in nickel. Nickel is toxic so I don't think this is the food you should feed your dog day after day. Every once in a while, maybe. I would love for the dog food companies to do a little more research about the foods they choose to include in their recipes. They should realize that high nickel foods are not good. They should also realize that our dogs are being poisoned with Vitamin A. This is why I look for a food that does not contain liver. Liver is a detoxifying organ. When you eat Vitamin A, your body shuttles it off straight to the liver. No, it's not to store it for later use. It's doing that because IT'S TOXIC! Our dogs do not need carrots, kale, pumpkin, sweet potatoes, and liver, which is the worst! All these foods are extremely high in Vitamin A and if you eat them regularly, you will eventually get sick. If you read the vitamins added to the dog food, they throw in some more Vitamin A along with the other vitamins and minerals. If you don't believe me, do your research. It might just save not only your dog but you as well.

My doggos are always excited for meal time with this healthy mix. Great quality foods. You can identify pieces of vegetables and fruits, etc. Smell entices the most stubborn, picky eater.

My 13 year-old Poodle loves this and doesn't need encouragement to eat this. She has always loved kibbles but she could not digest them well. No issues in regugitation after she started on this.

Easy to mix up for 2-3 days meals at one time. My dog loves it. A little pricey.

Packaged came damaged. Was spilled in the box.

Ma chienne adore cette nourriture que je mélange à ses croquettes

The fact that this expensive product cannot be returned should help decide your mind about a purchase. I'm sure it's probably well made and above average attention was paid to it's manufacture, but the fact is, my food oriented Terriers DO NOT care for this food. Besides rehydrating with water, I tried beef stock, and these less than fussy dogs still don't go for it. The product itself is the consistency of sawdust, and lacks any sort of food aroma. To me it appears unappetising and completely bland. As a retired person, watching prices and budgetary concerns, I am more than disappointed. GREAT PREMISE but lacks Substantiation..........perhaps the local RESCUE LEAGUE would use this expensive mistake of mine.
