The Honest Kitchen Grain Free Limited Ingredient Duck Recipe - 4 lb

This Limited Ingredient Recipe made with just six whole foods is perfect for dogs with food sensitivities, or those who just appreciate the simpler things in life. This recipe is made with uncompromising quality control standards using real, whole food ingredients, like cage free duck, that are gently dehydrated to maintain nutrients & taste. It’s also 100% human grade, meaning we use the same whole foods you’d recognize in your own kitchen, and make this recipe in a human food facility for the highest quality and safety standards.

WE BELIEVE PETS DESERVE —

HUMAN GRADE FOR THE HIGHEST QUALITY & SAFETY

As a company of proud pet lovers, and pet owners, we believe that dogs and cats deserve the highest quality foods that nourish the body. That’s why we invented the standard of Human Grade pet food back in 2002, which is really a standard for top notch quality and safety.

Unlike feed grade pet food, which is a lower quality than human food, being human grade means a whole host of extra measures to ensure the quality and safety standards for all our complete and balanced foods. Since our foods, supplements, toppers are actually made in facilities that conform to all human food standards, our quality assurance program is designed to attest to the necessary standards that would apply if a human were to be the end consumer.

A HIGHER STANDARD OF QUALITY ASSURANCE

We have an extensive sampling program for our finished goods, and test at an independent third-party laboratory to make sure every batch is free and clear of pathogens, such as E. coli, salmonella, and listeria. The laboratory also checks numerous other food safety and quality indicators.

Our strict Test, Hold and Release Program means no finished goods are released into distribution until the test results come back.

We also conduct routine laboratory tests to ensure our foods meet the correct nutritional profiles, including vitamins, minerals and amino acids.

At the end of the day, human grade is a standard, not a slogan, and we’re incredibly proud to offer products that are meaningfully different from almost everything else in the industry.

OUR SUPPLIERS SAY WE'RE ANNOYING TO WORK WITH—

BECAUSE WE'VE GOT SUCH HIGH STANDARDS (& WE'RE COOL WITH THAT)

From eggs and salmon to pumpkin and parsley, we only use wholesome foods you recognize from your own kitchen. To meet our uncompromising standards, our suppliers must provide proof of food origins, screening, handling, cleaning and more. We only source from folks we know and trust, including a few we started with back in 2002. And, what we leave out is as important as what we put in.

THE ONLY THING BETTER THAN WHAT'S IN OUR FOODS—

IS WHAT ISN'T IN THEM

We select only the best ingredients for our human grade foods. And naturally, there's many ingredients that just don't make the cut. Below is a list of things you'll never find in our recipes.

• No GMO Ingredients, Feed-Grade Ingredients, Fillers or Meat Meals
• No Artificial Preservatives, Colors or Flavors
• No Corn, Wheat or Soy

KEEPING IT REAL

The key to retaining all the nutrients, taste and delicious aromas that come from whole food ingredients is to not remove them in the first place. At The Honest Kitchen, we ditch the heavy processing of feed grade foods in favor of a gentler approach– like cold pressing, roasting and dehydrating. Which means our foods are:

• Minimally processed to hold onto important nutrients.
• Made with finely ground whole food ingredients to ease digestion.
• Far more appealing to pets because they retain the colors and aromas of their natural ingredients
