The Honest Kitchen Puppy Food, Whole Grain Chicken & Salmon, 907 g Dehydrated

The Honest Kitchen Wholemade Whole Grain Chicken & Salmon is a human-grade, complete-and-balanced dehydrated puppy food made to support healthy growth, with chicken as its first ingredient.

• A 2 lb (0.91 kg) box makes about 8 lb (3.6 kg) of prepared food with warm water — a concentrated format for puppy meals.
• DHA, omega-3s, zinc, calcium, phosphorus, protein, vitamin E, antioxidants and probiotics support key stages and systems of puppy development.
• Oats, barley, pumpkin, carrots, blueberries and cranberries bring recognizable whole foods to the recipe.
• Made without GMO ingredients, corn, wheat, soy fillers, meat meals, feed-grade by-products or artificial preservatives, colors and flavors.
• Serve it as a full meal or as a topper for wet or dry food; it can also be spread on lick mats or enrichment toys.

Growing puppies need food formulated for development, while caregivers may want the convenience of a shelf-stable option that does not require serving a conventional dry meal on its own. This gently dehydrated recipe brings whole-food ingredients and minimal processing into a preparation that uses warm water. It is formulated for puppies of all breeds and sizes, including large-breed puppies.

What does this puppy food support as dogs grow?

The recipe is designed to support brain and eye development, digestion, skin and coat, immunity, joint development and healthy growth. DHA from fish oil supports brain and eye development, while omega-3s and zinc support joint development. Balanced calcium, phosphorus and protein support growth, and vitamin E plus antioxidants from blueberries and cranberries support immune health.

• Pumpkin and probiotics help support healthy digestion.
• Its growth-focused nutritional formulation is intended for puppies across breed sizes, including large breeds.

How do you prepare it, and how much does a box make?

Add warm water to the dehydrated food and mix before serving. A 2 lb (0.91 kg) box yields about 8 lb (3.6 kg) of prepared food, giving puppy caregivers a compact, shelf-stable format to rehydrate for a meal.

• Use it as a complete daily meal or mix it over wet or dry dog food as a topper.
• For enrichment, spread the prepared food into a lick mat or enrichment toy.
• As a topper, it adds variety and nutrients without requiring a full food switch.

What ingredients and exclusions set this recipe apart?

• Fish oil supplies DHA; blueberries and cranberries provide antioxidants.
• The formula excludes meat meals and feed-grade by-products, as well as artificial preservatives, colors and flavors.
