The Honest Kitchen dog food was started in 2002 by Lucy and Charles Postins. The company has its roots in San Diego where it began in a beach cottage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It has since moved to the old Wonderbread factory that is located in the East Village of San Diego.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this The Honest Kitchen dog food review, we take an in-depth look into why the brand is listed among the best in the market right now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Honest Kitchen brand is actually composed of a product line of dehydrated foods that are human grade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plus the company does not use fillers or chemicals in their foods hence the reason they are one of the healthiest dog food brands today. Chemicals will hurt your dog so it’s better to avoid the brands that include them. Even if the price is better. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Interestingly, the company filed a lawsuit against the federal government regarding their right to include the term \u2018human grade\u2019 in its foods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unlike most companies that went through this process, the Honest Company actually won the case. This means that their products are of an extremely high quality and are unquestionably safe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Honest Kitchen only uses ingredients that are human-edible and produces all of its products in a human food manufacturing facility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first batch of Honest Kitchen Dog Food was called Verve and it sold out very quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This product was not grain free, but a grain free version called Force was produced shortly after in 2003.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These products were only for adult dogs so a puppy friendly formula was developed in 2004. Since then, the company has expanded and now manufactures cat food as well.<\/p>\n\n\n

  Processing Methods<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

  The Honest Kitchen pet food preserves its foods in a factory that is located in the East Village, San Diego.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  The company believes that they should not process foods too much, so they opt to dehydrate the foods using as little processing as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  Dehydration has proven itself to be one of the best methods of preserving foods and it often results in it foods that are healthier and more nutritious as only the water content is removed during the dehydration process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  Yes, it may involve more work after purchasing since the foods are not in a kibble form, but these dehydrated<\/a> foods retain much more nutrients and may be a much healthier option for your beloved pets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
