Nilda and her loving companion Kelso Baby took it upon themselves to show why pups can’t enough of The Honest Kitchen. Just check out this You Tube piece that they made. All that I can say is that Kelso knows what he likes and is not willing to give up a good meal or treat! Thanks Kelso Baby and Nilda!!!

ICE PUPS –THE PERFECT TUMMY WARMER FOR A COLD WINTER’S DAY

Never mind the name!  Or think of ICE PUPS as a delicious warm drink for your Icy Pups on these chilly winter days.

When you think of having a steamy cup of hot chocolate for yourself, your pooch can have a warm tasty Ice Pup beverage to chase away the chill and put a smile on his lips. My three snow-loving dogs fly in and out of the frosted dog door, chasing squirrels at the bird feeder or giving themselves a snow bath in the newly fallen snow. When they come inside with frosty ears and toes and snowflakes clinging to their whiskers I have just the right treat to warm their insides. Before they can settle down for a nap in front of the toasty wood stoves, I put a couple of small scoops of Ice Pups in their bowls and mix it with a cup of warm water. It dissolves in a minute and they slurp it up like nobody’s business, as they say. Their enthusiasm is really astonishing – it’s made me wonder if it’s better than my hot chocolate!

Lucy may have developed Ice Pups to be made into frozen tongue-coolers for hot California summers, but she probably had some idea what a great bonus it would be for après-walks in wintry climates. She has done it again with this formula because I have tried giving the dogs warm diluted broth (even with “Better than Bouillon” that is low sodium and has no MSG) but it doesn’t really interest them. However, the reaction to Ice Pups made into a warm beverage is universally enthusiastic: down the hatch it goes with energetic slurping.

The winter air indoors and outside can be really drying and it’s hard to make sure dogs get enough hydration when they don’t feel the heat of summer. The Ice Pups drink solves that: they not only get some warm liquid in them but along with it, some top-notch nutrition.

And what about the “sick bay?!”  Another incredible use of Ice Pups is that it gives some nourishing satisfaction to you and your dog when her appetite is off. You worry about her having an empty stomach – and Ice Pups is something she’ll want even when she’s off her feed and doesn’t want solid food.  Post-surgery it’s an absolute life-saver.  Both of my Weimaraners had to have two molars extracted and food was out of the question for at least a day.  Warm Ice Pups to the rescue! It not only makes your dog feel good, YOU feel good being able to give them this comforting treat.

Can’t get enough of Keen!!!

Since the arrival of Keen dogs have been going crazy over our new diet. Carla Haley and her ACD Pack: Takoda, Monty and Piper can’t get enough of it.

“They are absolutely in HEAVEN and go totally nuts when I pick up the bowls for feeding time. Piper (our talkative Husky/ACD mix) feels she has to hurry me along by whining at the stairs where they sit during the preparation. This is something they have never previously done when I was feeding them the plain kibble. Takoda, our red ACD (the picky one of the bunch) would before look in his bowl and then look up at me like “Again Mom?” But now he will go through his repertoire of tricks to get me to set the bowl down. I can’t fix their new food fast enough! They barely can sit still and wait patiently.Elapsed time to completion: approx 60 sec!”

Minnie & The Force

We received a cool “Honest Kitchen” success story from one of our awesome and adorable customers, Minnie. She sent us an email today telling us how thrilled she is to be eating Force! It appears the Force is definitely with Minnie! Check it out…

Hi,

My name is Minnie and I am 8 1/2 years old. My mom started feeding me force 6months ago and I am delighted. I have always had a sensitive stomach, ear infections and the constant shedding was unbearable. Now look at me…I feel great…!!

No more ear infections, no more getting sick to my stomach and just look at my coat and how I shine! No more shedding…Woo Hoo! I really wanted to be on your new box but I didn’t make the final cut. No problem, I just asked my mom to put me on the Force box.

So here I am, healthy and happy Minnie. The Force is with me. Thanks to The Honest Kitchen for making me feel really good!

Thanks Minnie!! :-)
