Proper Toppers are going to be the perfect food to take with me on my next camping trip, because unlike traditional dehydrated pet foods that need a bit of warm water to help plump them up, these just need a quick splash and are good to go!

Mom has been adding Proper Toppers to my kibble each meal as part of my rotational diet, and I have to say I’m loving it! Not only does it taste great (and is great for picky eaters), but just like all of The Honest Kitchen’s pet foods they are a healthy, nutritional food.

The Honest Kitchen Bone Broth - a warm treat for your dog

My friends over at The Honest Kitchen recently came out with a warm broth for dogs that’s just the thing to heat up your pup this winter season!

Their Bone Broth can be mixed with warm water to make a nourishing, and irresistibly mouthwatering drink, that’s got a few health-promoting properties, too. It’s like a warm treat for your pet with lots of added health benefits too.

The Honest Kitchen Bone Broth is also made with Turmeric. Turmeric has been studied for its antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory properties and is great for both dogs and cats.

One of my mom’s favorite pet nutrition bloggers, Rodney Habib, has some great information on how Turmeric can be beneficial to your pets. Not only will it help prevent your pet from getting cancer, but it will also aid in the following:

Anti-Inflammatory
Detoxifier
Treatment of epilepsy
Relieves allergies
Prevents the formation of cataracts
Treats depression
Kills parasites
Heals stomach ailments, aids in digestive disorders, and reduces gas and bloating
Fat metabolism and weight management
High in fiber and rich in vitamins and minerals

So I don’t know about you, but I’m all for helping to prevent Cancer (among other ailments), and if it tastes as good as The Honest Kitchen’s Bone Broth, then count me in!

You can combine 1 tablespoon of Bone Broth with 1 cup of warm water to serve to your pet as a healthy treat.

Or you can do what my mom did and pour it onto your pet’s food at mealtime. Mom found that for the amount of food I eat, that half that amount seemed to work fine.

Since I had some dry dog food I’m using up, it was great to pour on top to add a special treat to my meals. I’d never say no to warm broth on my food, especially as the weather starts to get chilly here.

I’m looking forward to using it to re-hydrate my Honest Kitchen dehydrated raw food (Marvel) as well. It’s going to taste so yummy when I come in from playing in the snow this winter!

You can fetch your pet some Bone Broth this season from The Honest Kitchen. I noticed because it’s so popular that it’s currently out of stock, but you can pre-order some on Amazon and they’ll deliver it when it’s back in stock! #tryTHK

Dehydrated Pet Food from The Honest Kitchen + A Giveaway

Posted on September 1, 2015 by Ammo

Disclaimer: this post is brought to you by The Honest Kitchen. All opinions are my own, and I only share products I think you and your dog will love!

As you may have read on my blog last week, I’ve recently taken the plunge into trying dehydrated pet food. Since I’ve been on a rotational diet since I was just a wee pup I’m always excited when mom finds a few food for me to try. This time around I got to try the Revel Chicken Recipe from my friends at The Honest Kitchen!

If you’re unfamiliar with de-hydrated dog food, it is essentially raw foods that have been dehydrated to lock in the nutrients. It’s less processed than dry food, and typically needs water to “plump up”.

The Honest Kitchen’s dehydrated pet food, treats and supplements are made from 100% human grade whole foods.

The Honest Kitchen makes several varieties of pet food including grain free, whole grain, and even limited ingredient foods for sensitive pets, or pets with allergies.

Revel is the food I started out with, and had been eating over the past few weeks. It’s a whole grain chicken food with Free-range chicken, organic barley, potatoes, organic flax, organic oats, green peas, carrots, bananas, parsley, organic kelp, celery, tricalcium phosphate, choline chloride, zinc amino acid chelate, vitamin D3 supplement, vitamin E supplement, potassium iodide, potassium chloride, iron amino acid chelate, copper amino acid chelate, thiamine mononitrate.

A 2 lb. box of Revel costs $15.99, and if you consider that I eat 1/3 cup twice a day, a 2lb. box (which contains about 8 cups of food) would end up costing me $1.33 a day and would last me 12 days (and there is even bigger savings when you buy larger quantities).

Now let me just say, I’ve never been much of a morning dog, but ever since Revel showed up at my door I’ve been an early riser because I just cannot wait to get my breakfast! No joke, I’m the first one out of bed now ready and waiting to be served my Honest Kitchen meal.

I’ve been eating about 1/3 cup twice a day for the past several weeks – and loving every minute of it.

The hardest part about eating dehydrated is having to wait that agonizing 3 minutes while it “puffs up” after mom adds hot water. I have to say though, after about a month I’m starting to get a bit more patient for my meals now, and mom likes how it’s teaching me to have more self control (as if dachshunds have any of that!).

The aroma of chicken noodle soup (which is what mom says it smells like) fills my house at mealtime, and I scarf that puppy down! After a month of eating dehydrated food from The Honest Kitchen mom even noticed that my coat seemed shinier and softer too.

You can fetch REVEL and other great dehydrated foods from the Honest Kitchen. And as a BONUS, if you’d like to try some Honest Kitchen with your pets you can use my special promo code for a FREE SAMPLE BUNDLE + Honest Kitchen Coupon ($10 Total Value) for just $1 in shipping. (discount will be automatically applied at checkout)

And now for the best part…

End of Summer Harvests + Limited Ingredient Diets for Dogs

Posted on August 27, 2015 by Ammo

Disclaimer: this post is brought to you by the honest kitchen. All opinions are my own, and I only share products I think you and your dogs will love.

While Trooper and I may look hot in this picture, the truth is the warm summer weather will be leaving us soon. With it we’ll have to say goodbye to our lush veggie gardens and the summertime harvests that have been so abundant this year.

Eating healthy, fresh ingredients isn’t just important for the humans, it’s important for us dogs too. While mom can’t grow everything Trooper and I need to maintain a healthy diet, I want to share with you the newest addition to my healthy diet that’s available all year round!

My friends at the Honest Kitchen are makers of all natural, human grade dehydrated dog and cat food. Their foods are produced in the USA from non-GMO produce and hormone-free meats.

One of the newest addition to their healthy food line is called BRAVE. This limited ingredient diet contains only six ingredients: MSC certified pollock, organic coconut, chickpea, celery, pumpkin, spinach, plus vitamins and minerals – which is perfect for dogs that may have allergies, or prefer a more simplified food.

Brave had a great fishy smell, which I picked up even before mom opened the shipping box it came in! And all you have to do is add water to this food to get it to puff up to a full (and filling) meal. I look forward to scarfing it down at mealtime.

While neither Trooper nor I have any food related allergies, we can certainly appreciate a simplified diet with only the healthiest of ingredients.

Just like all the yummy home grown veggies in mom’s garden!

There’s lots I want to share with you about how I’ve added dehydrated food from the Honest Kitchen into my rotational diet – so to find out even more you’ll just have to stop by my blog on Tuesday next week – as a bonus I’ve got some great products from the Honest Kitchen to giveaway too!

You can fetch BRAVE and other limited ingredient foods from the Honest Kitchen. And as a BONUS, if you’d like to try some Honest Kitchen with your pets you can use my special promo code for a FREE SAMPLE BUNDLE + Honest Kitchen Coupon ($10 Total Value) for just $1 in shipping. (discount will be automatically applied at checkout)

And that’s not all, The Honest Kitchen is also having a fun Calendar Contest you can enter to win a Free trip to San Diego for you and your pet + Honest Kitchen Goodies! If you’d like you can check out my entry, and see the “honest confession” that I’m telling the world. I’d love it if you could give me a vote too! 😉
