The Honest Kitchen foods are made with real, human food-grade ingredients that have been gently dehydrated to remove only the water. All other nutrients remain and become highly concentrated. Our foods are not cooked, extruded or heat processed in any way.

No cooking required! Simply hydrate with warm water, and in just ten minutes, a wholesome, colorful meal that is loaded with naturally occurring, wholesome nutrition, is ready to serve. Additional raw meat and bones or cooked meat can be mixed in, if desired, without disrupting critical nutrient values.

Our foods are completely free of all chemicals, by-products, fillers, wheat, corn, soy, rice and beet pulp. Verve is also dairy-free and Force is entirely free of grains.

Our commitment is to the absolute highest quality ingredients and manufacturing procedures (our products are made in a human food-producing facility, not a pet food plant, to offer you complete peace of mind).

Both our foods are formulated to meet the AAFCO nutrient profiles for adult maintenance and you don't have to add anything to make them 'complete'. However, the original idea behind these diets was as a base for a raw or other home made diet and to facilitate that, they are somewhat 'lite' in terms of fat and protein, so that your own choice of raw, or cooked, meat can be added, if desired.

It is entirely a matter of personal choice (and your dog's taste!) whether you add in extra meat and other ingredients, or not. Most people with younger and more active dogs like to mix in the additional meat, and those with senior or overweight animals usually prefer to feed the food alone. Please call or email if you would like to discuss what is right for your dog.

Verve
n. Great enthusiasm or liveliness, energy, vivacity, zeal.

Verve is a combination of 100% human food grade organic rolled barley, organic rolled rye, dehydrated beef, organic rolled oats, organic flaxseed, carrots, alfalfa, potatoes, eggs, spinach, red and green bell peppers, apples, chicory, parsley, cranberries, rosemary, peppermint, vitamins and minerals.

Preparation No cooking required! Each 4 oz cup of Verve should simply be hydrated with 1 to 1.25 cups of pure, warm, filtered or tap water or boiled water that has been allowed to cool.

Sparkle is a nutritional supplement made from a selection of herbs, designed to support healthy skin and a shiny coat.

Sparkle 4 oz. $14.00

Sparkle is a blend of Herbs which support a number of the body's organ systems and provide nutrients that are vital for healthy skin and a lustrous coat. Sparkle is made with Dandelion Leaf, Rosehips, Nettle, Burdock and Nutritional Yeast.

Dandelion

Rosehips are loaded with Vitamin C and taste delcious! They have a long history of therapeutic use among Native Americans.

Burdockk is respected for its ability to clean the blood & support liver function. Like humans, animals are exposed to may different toxins from vaccines, environmental pollutants and chemical preservatives in poor quality pet foods. Many skin problems are related to a buildup of these toxins in the blood, or a compromised liver that is unable to expel them. Skin that is itchy, oily or flaky often signifies a buildup of toxins which Burdock can gently help to eliminate.

Nettle, celebrated in the May 2003 WHOLE DOG JOURNAL, is a highly nutritious herb containing Calcium, Phosphorus, Potassium, Magnesium, Iron and Vitamins A, C, D & B Complex, all in quantities that nourish the skin without overloading the digestive system, kidneys or liver, as is often the case with 'mega-dose' supplements. Nettle is also an excellent alternative to Eyebright, an herb widely acclaimed for its healing effect on many eye problems.

Nutritional Yeast is a non-active form of yeast that provides B-Complex Vitamins, Chromium, Trace Minerals and Selenium all of which are important for proper skin function and hair growth.

Remember, a quality, natural diet is the key to healthy skin and coat. Sparkle is intended as a supplement to a wholesome, healthy diet - not an alternative to it.
