| 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.

Sparkle
n. beam,
gleam, glint, glisten, radiance, vitality.
Sparkle is a nutritional supplement made from a
selection of herbs, designed to support healthy
skin and a shiny coat. This product contains
dandelion, rosehips, nettle leaf, burdock root
and nutritional yeast. These ingredients supply
essential trace minerals and vitamins which
support the immune system and other organs which,
when enhanced, are reflected in a lustrous coat
and healthy skin. 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.
