Where to buy honest kitchen products?

 I would really like to use thier foods, for travel and such, but my rotten girl is allergic to kelp, chicken, and oats, so none of their foods would work, for her. I tried some other company's dehydrated (the people that make the kangaroo kibble, and all the weird canned food, I can't think of who they are) and she barfed it. 

 

It looks phenomenal, though. If he's able to have good poops on that, with some RMBs, I bet he'll look fantastic.

I tried samples of all of their products and all dogs said "super yuck this isn't food". The HK formulas are all way too low in protein and way too high in vegetable content for my taste, not all that different from most kibbles in ingredients. Also alfalfa is a prominent HK ingredient and I know from sad experience that if you can convince a great dane to eat alfalfa you'll need a gas mask for the next few days.

I've always wanted to try this food but heard it is very expensive. I too have had problems with runny poo and vomiting with feeding raw

I've been feeding the Preference formula and simply adding my own homecooked meat to it, in a ratio of meat/preference of 2:1

I can order mine through a company localized in Colorado for $49/7lbs, lasts quite a while actually, even with feeding one 53# pup and 2 6# dogs

I have found this to be the BEST thing I have ever tried. The dogs love it, but I also rotate their meats weekly, and they've all done great from day one of trying it.

I've tried raw a few times, a few different brands in fact, I've never had good results...someone always tends to puke, act strange or lose energy. Just isn't for me, don't believe the overall quality of how meat is handled in the US is of good quality like it use to be.

It's odd because his stool was firm the second day on raw but it was never consistent. Lately, it's always been "runny" and very loose so I wanted to try a different approach.

Hmm.. it took several weeks to have consistent stools with one of my JRTs. Depending on what you feed raw, I was told raw is was bit richer. I started on mOrigins and have added variety by adding HPP. Anyhow, this is what my distributor (she has been feeding raw for 13 years) asked me: "How does the dog do on a raw egg? Is the stool loose or the same? How about on a marrow bone? Same result? Typically, dogs that can handle those changes can handle a raw diet however, if you push the balance - she's referring to richness particularly fat - you'll get real loose stools. It may take awhile for the dog's digestive tract to adjust and you may have to involve probiotics." Case in point, one of my JRTs was fine for the first week on raw when we finally fully converted over however, the next week, he got explosive diarrhea that lasted for 2 days. He would have to go either in 20 minutes or 2 hours. I put him on probiotics (culturelle) and he has been fine on raw food ever since.

The HK product does contain quite a bit of vegetable matter. I use a meat to HK ratio of 4:1. For a 30 lbs. dog they reccomend 1-2 cups a day of HK, I do 1/2 cup of HK, 3/4 lbs. of ground meat and one raw egg with shell. The HK is simply too "green" to feed by itself.
