The Honest Kitchen Whole Food Clusters Puppy Whole Grain Chicken Dry Dog Food, 4 lb Bag

I did a ton of research, possibly a bit too much, but maybe my findings will help you.I studied not only the ingredient lists of dozens of dog foods but also the companies behind them. I read independent testings and reviews and it became clear that The Honest Kitchen Puppy Clusters are the best food with some of the highest nutritional value you could feed your pup.I have a 6 months old AmStaff and we did the switch to the Honest Kitchen clusters about 2 months ago. We transitioned slowly for about 7-10 days and had no issues at all.At the beginning we soaked the clusters in warm water and smooshed them slightly since our pup was transitioning from wet food. Now we just keep a bowl of water nearby.We love using our pup's meal time as enrichment, so she eats most of her meals in form of puzzles or snuffle mats which works so great with the size of these clusters.The price is on the higher side but it seems absolutely justified for the quality. My puppy is happy and I am at ease knowing I give her the best food possible.Since I wished more reviewers would share what else they feed, here is our current nutrition set up, in hopes it might help someone else make their decision easier.6 months old female AmStaff/Bully/Pitbul MixMain meals: Honest Kitchen Puppy Clusters (about 2 to 2.5 cups depending on the day) divided into two portions (morning and evening), mostly given in snuffle mats, as training rewards, and in puzzle toys.Kibble: Orijen Puppy Kibble. We use those for some training, snacks throughout the day, to scatter when needed, and in toys (about 1 cup a day)Wet Food: Combination of Purina and Ziwi. We are currently transitioning away from Purina (and would recommend you do the same) We only use wet food to freeze inside Kongs - licking the frozen food is soothing and calms her down especially before naps.High-value treats: Combination of Ziwi Peak (air dried full nutrition food but crazy expensive) The beef and mackerel.lamb flavors balance really well with the Honest Kitchen clusters. We also use one ingredient freeze dried salmon and beef liver) and enrichment treats such as Yak Cheese, Dried Cod Skin, Collagen- and Bully Sticks. We also add things like fresh apples, carrots and broccoli on occasion (not every day).That's our set up - I hope it helps in building your own. ;-)

My puppy doesn't want any other food she is spoiled to this one. I was feeding her blue before this but now she only wants this one. Plus I like that the ingredients are a little more cleaner for her to eat.

Picky maltipoo immediately loved this food more than his other kibble. Did the gradual transfer and had no upset tummy’s. Love the ingredients and freshness, although like some other reviews—it does arrive with quite a bit of dust and crumbs at the bottom.

We are obsessed with The Honest Kitchen- I never question if my dog is getting the nutrients she needs as a sweet little pup. Yes there are crumbs at the end of the bag sometimes but this is because Honest Kitchen does not use many artificial ingredients like other pet food brands do. For example, Honest Kitchen actually tells you the type of meat and it's human grade.

Bought this food because I’ve researched a lot of the ingredients in traditional dog foods and didn’t approve of what was being put in them. My puppy’s stools have regulated since starting this food, and my almost 3 month old puppy absolutely loves the taste and enjoys it in a slow feeder. The 4lb bag was definitely bigger than I thought it would be but it’s a great value for the money and doesn’t have a disgusting odor like some dog foods do.
