The Honest Kitchen Pet Foods

What is this stuff?

Our food bridges the gap between raw, homemade and commercial, ‘kibbled’ pet foods. We start with fresh, raw ingredients and gently dehydrate them so that almost all the valuable vitamins, minerals and enzymes remain. Dehydration makes food completely safe even for pups, and senior pets with compromised immune systems. Our finished products are nutritious, delicious, and healthy – some even call them gourmet!

What’s more – human beings actually taste our products as part of our diligent Quality Control Process – and all raw ingredients are individually tasted by people during Research and Development of every new diet we make. Not a lot of pet food companies can say that!

Production occurs in a human food facility in California, alongside products such as breakfast cereals and beverage mixes for human consumption. Our facility is FDA inspected.

Because dehydration takes place at moderate temperatures, the majority of our ingredients are still considered raw. The only exceptions are the meats and eggs, which are dehydrated at high enough temperatures to kill any bacteria present and are therefore essentially considered 'cooked'. This ensures that all finished products maintain their ‘human edible’ status, which is required by our manufacturing facility.
