The Honest Kitchen: Shining the Spotlight on Pet Food Made with Ingredients You’d Recognize in Your Own Kitchen
For Lucy Postins, founder and CEO of The Honest Kitchen, the path to good health lies in good food, and your pet’s food is no exception. The Honest Kitchen is here to bring the highest quality standards of ‘people food’ to foods made for your pet, and have been doing just that for over 20 years by making pet food with 100% human edible ingredients! Lucy founded The Honest Kitchen in 2002 when she noticed that her dog’s health problems were greatly improved with the help of healthy recipes she made for him in her kitchen. More than 20 years later, The Honest Kitchen still makes pet food with 100% human-edible ingredients.
Why We Love The Honest Kitchen
The Honest Kitchen is dedicated to making pet food with real, nutrition-packed ingredients that you can trust. All Honest Kitchen pet food is authentically human-grade, meaning it is made with the quality & safety standards of healthy ‘human food’. You won't find conventional 'feed grade' pet food in Honest Kitchen products. Why is this a big deal? Back in 2002 when The Honest Kitchen was founded, they were essentially peerless as no other company on the market was making pet food quite like they were. The Honest Kitchen is still a thought leader in the pet food industry.
Petland Canada loves to work with brands dedicated to good food with good ingredients. Here are a few of our staff favourites from The Honest Kitchen:
For Your Cat
These boxes contain delicious, chunky, minced wild-caught salmon and cod simmered in savoury gravy. This gourmet fish-in-gravy recipe is made with 100% human-grade ingredients and is free of fillers. Meaning it checks all your quality & nutrition boxes, and all your cat’s taste & texture boxes (and we know how much cats love boxes!)
Crafted with a vet nutritionist, this 100% human-grade grain-free dehydrated cat food recipe is packed with a delicious pairing of free-range chicken and wild-caught fish, boosted with probiotics to support digestion, and finished with a splash of nutritious bone broth to add extra flavour and boost protein. To meet our human grade standard, we use the same whole foods you’d recognize in your own kitchen, and make this recipe in a human food facility. Simply add water to this healthy yet tasty recipe for a protein-packed, moisture-rich meal your cat will love.
These boxes contain delicious, chunky, minced cage-free turkey, chicken and duck simmered in savory gravy. This healthy wet food is made with 100% human-grade ingredients and is free of fillers. Meaning it checks all your human grade, quality & nutrition boxes, and it checks all your cat’s taste & texture boxes (and we know how much cats love boxes!)

For Your Dog
The Honest Kitchen believes that variety is the spice of life. That’s why they created Pumpkin Pour Overs. This human-grade, tasty pourable stew is full of cage-free turkey, fibre-rich pumpkin, and pureed apples with a hint of cinnamon. It’s a tasty and nutritious way to add whole food goodness to whatever is in their bowl. With just a few ingredients and an easy-to-use box, you can easily boost their bowl every day with this tasty meal topper.
Give your dog a daily boost of superfood nutrients with this easy-to-make Instant Turkey Bone Broth. Simply mix with warm water to give your pet a mouthwatering drink, pour over kibble as a delectable gravy, or use it to rehydrate an Honest Kitchen meal to make dinner even more richly flavorful. This Instant Turkey Bone Broth with nourishing parsley, warming pumpkin, and turmeric is oh-so-satisfying to your pet’s taste buds.
WORLD’S FIRST HUMAN GRADE DRY DOG FOOD: Most pet food is something called ‘feed grade.’ Whole Food Clusters are the world’s first human-grade dry food — made with 100% human-grade ingredients and produced in a human food facility. That means higher quality ingredients and more safety standards, just like you’d expect from your own food! What's really neat about this food is that it comes in a powder form, and you must add water to rehydrate it! Once hydrated, this pack makes 40lbs of food! Thankfully, the bod only weighs 10lbs. It's a different take on pet food than your average kibble, but your dog won't be able to resist the wholesome goodness and smells that this food offers!
The Honest Kitchen believes that human grade, minimally processed whole foods provide pets the best nutrition possible. Created with a veterinary nutritionist, these 100% human grade clusters are made with real whole foods you’d recognize from your own kitchen. They’re MadeHonest with human grade, nutrient-rich ingredients, cold pressed, roasted and dehydrated to maintain the nutrients, aroma and taste of whole foods. Whole Food Clusters give you the same scoop & serve convenience, while giving your pets minimally processed, 100% human grade taste and nutrition.
