They have a FDA certification. So that’s where the “Human Grade” claim comes from.
Great review and detailed. Appreciate it!
I enjoy the information in your videos. I don’t know if it is a little late to ask, but could you review Orijen: Amazing Grains Original; and Visionary pet food, beef? I do rotate his feeding, but it is extremely difficult to find kibbles without legumes, or without meals, and I find that Orijen (grains inclusive recipes) is one of the rare ones that use good ingredients. I also add a bit of the honest kitchen broth to his food (no potatoes or legumes), and some of Native pet’s pumpkin powder (which is made of pumpkin, pumpkin seeds, and apples). I do occasionally give him fresh produce that my partner and I consume, such as apple slices, watermelon, green beans, carrots, and sometimes foods such as canned sardines (unsalted, no sauce), but we give those as treats or toppers.
Awesome review. Could u do comparison between stella and chewy , primal, and freeze dried rae foods?
Thank you for this review. I'm just trying to figure out what to feed my newly one year old poodle mix. So much info on kibble vs fresh cooked vs raw. It's overwhelming!! Any help would be appreciated!
You said you use dehydrated food so which one do you use. I have yet to find a food that doesn't have multiple bad items in it except raw diets but then you have to hunt to see where the meat comes from which I have found out most of them have 4 D meat. I'm curious as to what food you do recommend for dogs.
There is a recommendation list located in the Padfootpoms Facebook group
Very educational. I learned so much.
Thank You! 🙏🏼
Hi I feed my 8 months puppy stella&chewy raw patty for puppies can you review it
What about the Limited Ingredient formula. Specifically the Fish.
Could you do a review on:
Diamond naturals - chicken and rice formula.
I would really appreciate it.
Thank you!
can you look at Honest Kitchen fruit blend might be fruit and veggie blend, I forget.
Please review taste for the wild puppy formula
This was the 1st bad review I've heard about THK. As with any product in life there will always be AT LEAST one negative review. I'm still going to give it a try for my 10 mo old pup and see how it goes. I plan to add cooked chicken to it like we do to his current kibble. We're just not ready to go full raw. We may try adding a raw egg to start with after some more research.
Hey there, thanks for your review, it was very interesting.
I have a question: what do you mean when you say you are a nutritionist? (From what I understand it's not a protected term? And everyone seems to mean different things when they say it so I'm just curious.)
Great question! There are 2 types of Canine Nutritionist. There is a Veterinary Nutritionist, who is a DVM. And a certified Canine Nutritionist (Cert. CN). One is a vet, the other has attended schooling for Small animal nutrition. I am a cert. CN.
Can you review Dr Harveys Raw Vibrance, Pedigrim. Also can you recommend the best foods for Huskies. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
+1, not just the raw vibrance. But kind of like what you did this video with honest kitchen. Thank you much appreciated!
Either there is too many carbs or I look at a lot of dehydrated/raw food then there's a ton of fat.
Which topper would be the best to add to kibble. Least fattening
Bone broth or fermented veggies
Please recommend the best dry food regardless or price. I will add human cooked food
I have a recommendation list in my group
Human Grade is a "thing". The FDA regulates what you can and can't feed to humans. This differs from what you're permitted to feed animals (i.e. diseased meats, etc.).
The term, the way pet food companies use it, is not regulated. Go to the AFFCO website and check it out. There is no set definition
@@PadFootPomsPoodlesPals THK does have an FDA cerification.
I add taurine powder to my dog's food. Will this make up for any legumes
The honest kitchen adds taurine to all their products that have legumes.
I need to maintain 5 lb shih tzu is 10 mos old. Tiny. Need to keep her small. Thick body though. Live in city apt. Kibble size has to be very tiny
okay. I'm surprised because I actually use this exact food, the chicken recipe. But I always add cooked meat to it. Since I began using it, all my dogs eyes have cleared up. No more runny goopy eyes. So, isn't that an indication that the food is healthier?
Yes, that’s good that their eyes cleared up :) it’s definitely a healthier option than other foods, but every food ‘agrees’ with dogs differently
@@mojavezombie3640 : Well, True but what, in your opinion, is the healthiest food that is not homemade?
is pea fibre bad also?
human grade “not a thing”. can you please elaborate on this ? also, I enjoy your reviews as they are informative- i find there are many people sharing their opinions as authoritative resources on specific subjects who are self taught. Thankfully i watch you as you mentioned that you are “pet nutritionist”. wondering? .. was this a hard thing to become ? I know that Pet nutritionists generally require a four-year undergraduate degree in animal sciences, biological science or agricultural science- my youngest son is interested in learning more about your journey - do you recommend to obtain your undergraduate from a school that specializes in university or veterinary college. How did you go about receiving your accreditation? thanks
Please review ziwi peak!!!!
My dog has to have low protein due to a disease. Honest Kitchen was recommended to me by several vets and nutritionist. His disease has progressed for the better since being on it. He’s on the whole grain turkey. The only con I’ve noticed is the tartar build up on his back teeth. Which is manageable. His lab work, which consists of several panels, have been wonderful. I will say tho that when we get to a point where he has been cleared for at least 6 months we will be adding more protein the his HK food because of that carb ratio. And from what I’ve read from several sources, HK is actually human grade food. There was even a court case over it and they won. I love it for him but I know there are better options for others. The protein content of food is our concern so that’s what works for him.
You can add some whole bone to the diet to help with teeth. I'd recommend either chicken feet to eat with his meal (hardly any meat on them) or like a giant beef bone, which is considered a recreational chew that they wouldn't actually eat. Let them chew (supervised) then put away for another time.
For the record sweet potatoes are not a veggie in the same category as regular potatoes. It is in fact just another tuber more similar to carrots than potatoes. So by saying that having potatoes and sweet potatoes means they are doubling up on the potatoes you were technically incorrect. And now that makes me question some of your other comments
If you watch the DCM video you will have the info you need. Even if it wasn’t a DCM issue dogs don’t need high carb foods.
@@PadFootPomsPoodlesPals but sweet potatoes aren’t high carb foods. Their plusses outweigh their negatives
I watched a few vet videos and they said Human grade is very much a thing.
You're right; the FDA literally regulates what can and can't be fed to humans.
Please do a video on FROMM 4 star Chicken a la Veg!!!!!! Please!!
The Honest Kitchen Whole Grain Chicken Recipe PLEASEEEEEE
I've used this exact food for years and I have 3 yorkies and 3 chihuahuas. My gastritis chihuahau tolerates it with no bouts of diarrhea/vomiting and maintains her weight. The rest of my dogs all improved when I switched to this. None of them have the goopy, runny, stained eyes anymore which I love. They all maintain their weight. Only thing I like to do, though is boil meats in a lot of water so the water turns to meat juice. I then mince the meat and store the juice/minced meat in the fridge to use to hydrate the dehydrated food. Its cold so I then add hot water to make luke warm and serve as a soup consistency. All my dogs love it. I love it and there are other nutritionists who rate it highly
Can you help me come up with a home made recipe for my tiny shih tzu. I'm home and would rather cook
Yes PM me on Facebook for a consultation
I will. I'm very concerned about keeping her weight at 5. I really need 4 or 4.5 but she's thick. Very tiny but royal canin that horrible kibble put too much on her. I'm starting Wed Solid Solid Old Mighty Mini Lamb Sweet Pitato andcCranberry Toy and Small Recipe. Gold fitvandcFabulous WeightvControl Chicken Sweet Pitato and Green Bean weight control .. chicken bone broth from Onyl Natural Pets.. 2 tbsp each time 3x.. 1 tbsp of mini mate and 1 tbsp of the bone broth. Hope this works. My 16 year old yorkie was 3.5 lbs. I cooked her steamed chicken green beans and carrots. Healthy always, thiscshih tzu is 10 mos old but I'm very worried that She can gain weight where my back will go into spasm. I have to constantly pick her up. I live in NYC apt and low activity. I will def try to have a consult with you. I realky enjoyed your video.
Victor pet food review or Fromm’s please!!!
Would like you to review royal Canin Puppy Chiot Shih Tzu for my 4 month old puppy I would appreciate it kindly
Post it in the group in the description box. I can tell you now that nothing by that company is good
Please check out honestbkitchen bone broth topper
Please review Natures Logic
Awesome review. Request you to review Nature's Logic.
Dr Harvey’s?
Please review Proplan
Is Merrick a good safe food?
Purina bought Merrick out so anything Purina is not good.
Kabo.co Chicken recipe and Beef recipe
But wouldn't this still be better than something like Purina and other cheaper foods?
Yes, 100%
The Honest Kitchen sued the FDA in 2007 over their food being human grade. They won. It is in fact human edible food. You should have read further in this case.
HUMAN grade is pretty definitive. Its only human foods. Foods YOU would eat.
It’s not an FDA regulated term. Which means it can mean anything they want it to mean. Unfortunately this is the sad truth of the pet food industry
It is fda regulated
You might want to educate yourself on Human Grade, because there definitely is a difference between human grade and feed grade.
Ziwi peak dog food
Wait, first, you said there is no such thing as human-grade but then said most of what goes into dog food is not human grade ingredients. So there is an existence of human-grade, then. Confusing statement.
Can you review this food: The Honest Kitchen Food Clusters Whole Grain Chicken & Oat Recipe Puppy Blend Dehydrated Dog Food
They aren't Honest at all. If you decide to order their food don't do it from their website. They never answer their phone or return your call after you leave multiple messages. Of course I recommend you call any company before ordering online.
Hmmm.....I've used the food for a long time and love it. Love the positive results all my Yorkies and Chihuahuas have experienced. I will admit, though, I order it off Amazon but I've never had issues.
You certainly can get a discount if you order via Amazon Subscribe n Save, which is how I order mine. Your characterization that they never answer their phone doesn't match my experience; I've called them several times and have always been able to speak with a representative who always fully answered my questions, including where individual ingredients are sourced from, providing additional nutritional information and profiles, etc.
yes smart aleck, human grade does exist
Nope. It’s a completely unregulated term.
@@PadFootPomsPoodlesPals like you being a "canine nutritionist"
Maybe the human grade will be ideal when we are living in a communist country and this is cheaper. lol
There is a such thing as human grade! Human grade refers to how the food is produced and not so much what is in it. They are regulated by the FDA, and their warehouses are inspected. Honestly this is not a good review, you sound very uninformed, and some of the information you shared is incorrect.
Nope. I used to work in pet food I know what those “inspections” consist of…it’s not what you think it is.
@@PadFootPomsPoodlesPals You really should stop spreading misinformation. The only inspections that are substandard in the dog food community are those completed by AAFCO. Dog food companies with FDA approval to list their products as human grade has to go thru the same sanitary inspections as facilities that package food for people. I have worked in the industry for years, I am aware of how the inspections are conduct,
