Vendors We Love!

The Honest Kitchen is a private, family owned company located in San Diego. They have a pet-friendly office and are joined by up to seven dogs each day. Protecting the Environment: All of their recipes are packaged in USA-made, 100% recycled biodegradable paper and partially post-consumer recycled plastic. The boxes are printed with soy-based inks.

Minimal Processing: Dehydration ensures that the enzymes, vitamins and nutrients are still intact, so the fruits and vegetables are actually considered raw. The meat and egg ingredients are dehydrated at a high enough temperature to kill any pathogenic bacteria that may be present.

Human-Grade Ingredients and Production
: Human-grade, for the Honest Kitchen, is not just a marketing term. All their products are safe for human consumption, a requirement for entry into the human food facility where the products are made. Production occurs in a FDA inspected human food facility in California, alongside products such as breakfast cereals and beverage mixes for human consumption.

Whole Foods from Suppliers Who Care:

  • Chicken – 100% Free-Range, Sustainably Farmed and Humanely Raised.
  • Ground flaxseed – certified organic from Washington, USA
  • Quinoa – certified organic, fair-trade from Bolivia, South America – it’s sourced from more than 1000 small, indigenous family farms to provide the families with a valuable, fair-trade income.
  • Grains – certified organic, whole rolled from Montana, USA
