Where to buy honest kitchen products?

I likek K9 Cuisine - free shipping for orders over $50 and sadly that's so easy to do. 

I knew I could rely on you Becca! While I have your attention, what you think of their "Thrive" formula? Kane hasn't been doing too hot on raw and I'm considering taking him off for 2-3 months but I can't stomach putting him back on kibble and the dehydrated stuff looks pretty solid. I'm in need of your blessings. Thanks Bec!

Natural, Gluten-free Dehydrated Raw Dog Food

Thrive is our gluten-free, low carbohydrate dog food. This diet was designed to cater to dogs of all life stages including adults, puppies, pregnancy and nursing. Thrive is ideal for sensitive dogs who need gluten-free dog food but with a little grain, to help maintain a healthy body weight.

Thrive is a very minimalist, nourishing diet which is also recommended for dogs with sensitivities: It contains NO fruits, potatoes or flax.

Ingredients

Hormone-free Chicken, Organic Quinoa, Sweet Potatoes, Spinach, Parsley, Organic Kelp, Rosemary, Vitamins and Minerals

Suitable For

All life stages; puppies, pregnancy, lactation, active adult dogs & healthy seniors. Thrive is naturally low-carb, with just 37% carbohydrates. Low carb diets are often indicated as part of a holistic approach to cancer recovery.

Never heard of Quinoa? Pronounced Keen-Wah, it's a treasured ancient grain from Bolivia in South America. Our Quinoa is fair-trade, sustainably grown and 100% certified organic.

Naturally gluten-free, Quinoa is a valuable source of complete protein. It contains every single amino acid and is especially well-endowed with the amino acid lysine, which is essential for tissue growth and repair. In addition to protein, quinoa features a host of other health-building nutrients.

Here's their "Keen" formula which is quite a bit cheaper. Which one would you suggest Becca?

I've been looking into honest kitchen and sojos myself... honest kitchen has incredibly high shipping costs (I"m sure it costs then a ton, but a $50 box/10lbs is almot $15 shipping) but k9cuisine tended to be a little higher on the price. Personally, there are a couple shops somewhat close to me that carry one or the other, and I'm sure they could order me something if I needed it.... I haven't compared prices, but I HATE to spend a fortune on shipping so it would either be k9cuisine and just order enough to make the small price hike worth it for free shipping or shop locally.

 Just curious, what problems are you having on raw?

I had issues with dehydrated, when I tried it, but my dog is a freak of nature. She really just can't eat anything..... 

I've had good luck with all their formulas, but can't find it for less $$$ anywhere. Over the net and my local store come out about the same.

Let us know if you find a deal anywhere!

He gets loose stools alot and I just wanna try a different approach.

Keen looks rather similar to our working diet.  The protein is low though - I'd want to know whether it were possible to supplement with RMBs, and how much.  2/3 of this and 1/3 of something like a pork rib or chicken quarter would be just fine for my gang, I think, and certainly for a dog that's more or less an active companion.

Honest Kitchen is s terrific company  All you have to do is ask them about feeding recommendations and nutritional information, and they will answer your questions readily.

 Thanks! That's much better than what I have been paying.

BC -- how do we figure out the protein level when hydrated? Is it roughly 3x the dry? (Not sure why that number is in my head)
 

 Dollars to donuts HK will be glad to tell you - but, it's the other way, which is why I was concerned.  Protein will go down because you are adding moisture not protein.  I suspect it will be comparable to canned meat - 8 to 10 percent protein.

Plain ol' meat is 20 to 30% protein. (RMBs are in the lower end of that). 

My head is SUPER foggy right now (so much so that it took me four tries to spell "foggy" right!).  Sorry I can't ex[lain this better ATM!

 Be sure to check out all the local outlets as well. I just found out this afternoon that a local source sold it at the same price but I would easily saved 8 bucks in shipping and didn't have to wait. Too bad I was too impatient and ordered it last night!

 I hope that Kane does better on something a little different. Emma is the opposite. She insta-firms on raw. Silly dogs.... Trying to keep us on our toes.

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.
