Feeding Guidelines
If you wish to trial The Honest Kitchen products, we suggest the 4 oz. pouch or 4 lbs. bag to see how your pet likes this product. If your pet prefers a particular meat based kibble ( i.e., chicken), you might consider starting with the same meat based product in The Honest Kitchen diet. If you are transitioning to the Force diet for your pet's food allergies, though experience is varied, it could take 3-4 weeks to notice an improvement. All food transitions should be made gradually, mixing old with new food, depending on your pet's digestive tract.
Preparation Instructions
One cup dehydrated food = 1 lb of fresh food
Each cup of dehydrated food should be re-hydrated with 1 to 1 1/4- 1 1/2 cups of pure, warm, filtered, or tap water, or boiled water that has been allowed to cool.
Add the water to the food and stir well. The product will initially resemble soup. Let stand for 10 minutes minimum, for the ingredients to rehydrate sufficiently. Add your own ingredients if you wish (see "Serving Recommendations" below). Stir again, and serve. Any leftovers should be refrigerated or discarded.
Feeding Recommendations
The following suggested daily amounts should be adjusted to suit your own dog's unique nutritional requirements, which will vary according to age, breed, level of activity and what other ingredients are added.

Serving Recommendations
For most dogs, these daily dry food amounts should be divided into two meals per day. For puppies, consider dividing the appropriate total daily dry food amounts into three meals per day. These formulas are complete meals, but additional raw fruits, vegetables, yogurt, meats may be added for variety. Mix in about half to one cup of meat for each cup of food suggested above.
This food is minimally processed to preserve the natural nutrients; the food undergoes no high heat processing or extrusion and is therefore a highly concentrated source of natural nutrition.
