The Honest Kitchen Question

Posted : 7/30/2010 4:22:26 PM

River and Kya are both doing well with the Honest Kitchen foods.

However, Chloe vomits this food. I initially thought that she needed it soaked for longer, but regardless of how long it's been rehydrating, she vomits. Usually within 10 minutes of eating any of the food. I've even tried a teaspoon as a treat.

To the best of my knowledge, she has no allergies. She has eaten a raw diet with many different protein sources before.

I was just curious if anyone has had a similar experience?

As a stop gap while I evaluate what she should on, she's on TOTW Pacific Stream with no vomiting. Which rules out illness.

Emma vomited dehydrated foods, even when she wasn't allergic to the ingredients, and they were well soaked. She always had a very sensitive tummy, so I assumed it was just one of her quirks. She couldn't even do the dehydrated liver squares.

Might be that something about the process irritates them. Jewel looks AWESOME on THK, so....???

Could she be gulping it?

Is it room temp? Too hot or too cold and Darby will barf food up.

All 3 are doing great on THK here.

Sorry, I have 2 fosters currently so life is nutso.

She doesn't gulp it. Actually, it's the slowest I've ever seen her eat food is when she has HK.

Yep, room temperature.

When they do that sort of thing I start to think they know that it is not working for them, or causes some upset (obviously for her). She eats slowly because she's hungry but knows it's going to make her sick.

:(

Can you try something else? Different formula?

Patty & Molson are on THK, they're doing great. If your dog isn't doing good on THK then take her off it! Not all foods work for all dogs.

Yes, she's happy on TOTW for now. So I'll just keep her on the different food.
