The Honest Kitchen was founded from the search for a natural, human-grade food that would be good enough for our own pets to eat.  The foods and supplements we offer are the fruits of our pursuit of perfection in contemporary canine and feline nutrition.

Clarity, integrity, accountability and natural quality are the core values of The Honest Kitchen.

Our fruits and vegetables are harvested at the peak of their ripeness, cleaned and trimmed, then gently dried below 104 degrees so they are still considered raw after dehydration is complete.  The meat and egg ingredients are dehydrated at a high enough temperature to kill any pathogenic bacteria that may be present, and the required temperature for this is above 120 degrees.  This makes them safe for human consumption - a requirement for entry into the human food facility where our products are made.  Raw meat and bones may be added to our foods, if you wish.

Our foods contain absolutely no by-products, added salt or sugar, chemical preservatives, artificial colors or flavors and NO beet pulp, rice, wheat, corn or soy.
