The Honest Kitchen Chicken & Salmon Puppy Food, 3.2 kg Dehydrated Recipe

The Honest Kitchen Wholemade Whole Grain Chicken & Salmon Puppy Food is a human-grade dehydrated recipe designed to provide complete, balanced nutrition for growing puppies.

• A 7 lb (3.2 kg) box makes about 28 lbs (12.7 kg) of prepared food — a concentrated format for puppy meals.
• Real chicken is the #1 ingredient, with salmon and fish oil — ingredients that provide omega-3s, including DHA.
• Oats and barley join pumpkin, carrots, blueberries and cranberries — recognizable whole foods in the recipe.
• Formulated for puppies of all breeds and sizes, including large breeds — made for growth and development.
• Made without GMO ingredients, corn, wheat, soy fillers, meat meals, or artificial preservatives, colors or flavors — a recipe with defined ingredient exclusions.

Growing puppies need food designed for their developmental stage, and some households also want a shelf-stable option that can serve more than one role at mealtime. Wholemade is gently dehydrated and can be prepared as a daily meal or added to an existing bowl, so puppy owners can use the same recipe in different feeding situations.
