Charlie, our VP and big motocross superstar (sarcasm), was strolling the internet a few nights ago and came across some Honest Kitchen fans in the most unlikely place. ADVrider.com, a forum for “Adventure Moto Biker’s” has a thread dedicated entirely to do food. Who would’ve thought right?! (ADVRiders THK thread) He got to talking to a few of the forum members and ended up sending out a few samples. One of the “hardcore” bikers took our “human grade” label quite literally and stole a bite to eat from his dog!! Though it’s entirely safe for human consumption, it’s still a bit weird to have embark for dinner yea?
The face of a madman folks, at least he knows whats good for him though!
I’ve tasted the food but never made a meal out of it (ok, maybe once)!! Have you ever tasted our food? Look, even our President sneaks a bite in here and there…as her starving dog looks on..
but does she care?! How’s that Force taste Lucy?!

This is the first in our series of ‘Celebrity Bloggers’ and comes from our dear friend and supporter, Tracie Hotchner, esteemed author of “The Dog Bible: Evey thing your dog wants you to know’.
Each month The Honest Kitchen donates a portion of it’s profits to a different non-profit organization. One donation in particular, to the HSUS, drew a spirited response from some of our customers, against the donation. Tracie Hotchner was “sickened by this reaction-to say the least” and felt an attack on our donation to The HSUS was an attack on the one & only organization “working tirelessly to promote a dignified life (and death) for animals”. Tracie says “I’m glad the blog is here so I can say “Shame on you” to those self-righteous and angry nay-sayers - you are attacking people on our side, the side of animals”.
Listen to Lucy (THK President) discuss the customer uproar with Tracie Hotchner
I am the author of the best-seller “THE DOG BIBLE; Everything Your Dog Wants You to Know” (and also THE CAT BIBLE: Everything Your Cat Expects You to Know). I am also the producer/writer and host of two live weekly call-in radio shows - DOG TALK on NPR station WLIU out of Southampton College, New York and CAT CHAT, on the Martha Stewart Channel for Sirius Satellite radio.
I have been an active promoter of the Honest Kitchen food for years. By my own choice, for free, I have been working to get Honest Kitchen samples into peoples’ hands because my research made clear the quality and integrity of this product, well before the era of pet food recall. Therefore I was privy to the fact that when HK recently gave a generous donation to HSUS they were viciously attacked by some of their customers for this charitable decision. I was sickened by this reaction, to say the least - because any attack on HSUS is an attack on the one and only organization working tirelessly to promote a dignified life (and death) for animals by improving laws that affect the way we share the planet with animals. I’m glad this blog is here so I can say “Shame on you” to those self-righteous and angry nay-Sayers - you are attacking people on our side, the side of animals. I want to believe that you have been stirred up into anger by misinformation, and disinformation, I’d love to hear a rational, fact-based rationale for this venomous attack (more…)

We admit it, dehydration is a little bit different from your average method of preserving food. But nobody said we had to follow the pack! (All our pet food diets from The Honest Kitchen are gently dehydrated)
Here’s a quick primer on how dehydration differs from cooking and freezing - so next time you have a friend who asks about this crazy food you’re making up as your pet anxiously drools upon the kitchen floor, you’ll have some answers ready!
Dehydration is a slow, gentle method of preserving food. it helps to keep many of the natural nutrients in the raw ingredients in tact. On the other hand, cooking denatures many of these nutrients including delicate enzymes, vitamins, minerals and amino acids, making for a less nutritious finished product).
Most of our raw ingredients are dehydrated below 104 degrees F and are therefore still considered raw. If you wish to incorporate raw meat or RMB’s you can do this without the need for extra supplements, since the calcium: phosphorus ratios are already balanced to allow for the addition.
The meats and eggs in our foods are dehydrated at a high enough temperature to kill any pathogenic bacteria that may be present, and the required temperature for this (above 120 degrees F) is essentially equivalent to cooking.
For dogs with compromised immune systems or other reasons for not consuming raw meats, the dehydration process that our food undergoes, makes the finished product completely safe compared with frozen raw foods that may not be recommended under such special circumstances.
