I received my order of Force over the weekend. My dogs LUV it. I bought it specifically for my white, who has allergies (grains for one), but I tried out a serving and gave some to all 4. 2 of the gobbled it right up - the other 2 ate it, but it took a while.
The consistency is a little different than they're used to, I'm sure. It's more like a thick stew sorta, I'd say.
I've been mixing some of it with my white's regular kibble, and he eats it all up everytime. I'll continue to introduce it to him gradually, but glad he likes it. We'll see if it helps with his food allergy problems (he also has airbone/inhalant allergies, which are really acting up now with the Fall weather starting in - human allergies are acting up as well this time of year in MN). I also add some fresh vegies/fruits, whatever I happen to have on hand.
I purchased 2 of the supplements as well - Sparkle and not sure of the name of the other one. I add that in when rehydrating the Force.
I have one question. Once I get to the point of feeding strictly Force (no other kibble/canned food), won't my white need something crunchy for his teeth? He can't have beef or turkey - allergies, so none of those bones for him. He seems to do OK with chicken. Just thinking he should be getting something chewy/crunchy. Maybe not?? I'll pose that question to the people at The Healthy Kitchen as well.
Anyway, I'd definitely recommend this food!

Have you ever tried Buffalo? The lady at our natural pet store said it's worked for the majority of dogs that don't tolerate beef. What about lamb?

It meets all the AAFCO requirements for "complete and balanced nutrition," so you could feed it just like you'd feed kibble.
It is less expensive than the BarfWorld patties, but the BarfWorld patties are a raw diet....just depends on what you want to feed, really. There are prepared raw foods that are less expensive than BarfWorld patties, maybe still a little more expensive than The Honest Kitchen, if you want to go that way but are concerned about cost. IMO, The Honest Kitchen food is in-between kibble and raw.

He licked his bowl clean then sat down waiting for some more.

Since getting Kabu, our new brindle pup, I've been researching foods. Right now she is eating the Innova puppy food that the breeder used. I like the science behind going raw, but with three small kids and a busy household, I just don't see it happening. There are days we're lucky if our kids get healthy, balanced meals. During my research, I stumbled on the Honest Kitchen feeds and have just ordered a bucket of Embark, their new puppy formula. Any new info on this supplier and on their newest version, Embark?
Thanks,
