In reply to Jacque Whitney. They do test their products for that information. All of the nutrient information for each product is on their website. I just looked up the phosphorus levels in their minced cat foods. You click on the product you want info on, then click on Nutrition, then click on View Nutrient Profile. Info on every nutrient is listed, both on an as fed basis and on a dry matter basis.

In reply to Ariana. Thanks for the feedback, Ariana! We agree and are starting to include more Honest Kitchen wet foods in our recommendations as we make updates to existing reviews.

In reply to Caroline Bourque. My cat has both IBD and kidney issues, but Honest Kitchen hasn't exacerbated his symptoms. Their wet food, particularly the minced chicken variety, has low phosphorus levels, which is beneficial for kidney issues. It's truly made a positive impact on my cat's health, and in my opinion, Honest Kitchen is an underrated brand that deserves more recognition.

My 2 cats (both 4 yrs old) have been eating the dehydrated chicken, turkey, chicken & fish recipes for 2 years. They recently tested with increased kidney levels so I decided to do some diet digging. I asked Honest Kitchen for the Typical Nutrient Analysis and the response I got was that they don’t test their products for that information. This to me was a red flag and I consider it to be irresponsible. So, I’ve now decided to switch foods. Because species appropriate food is vital and I didn’t realize HK was plant heavy, I’ll do some research on Open Farm or Stella and Chewys. It’s tragic that pet food companies aren’t held to a higher standard. But I did read somewhere they might be required to provide TNA sooner than later. Thank you for your reviews. They are helpful.

My vet equates dry food as the equivalent to potato chips for us. We tried Honest Kitchen and 1 of our 2 cats wouldn’t eat it. He would simply walk away and he continued getting dry food for his meals. Within maybe 5 days of offering him some to try at each meal, he finally gave it a shot. Both of our cats now eat it twice a day. We mainly buy the Chicken, but we throw in a box of Turkey now and then to change things up. The cat who wouldn’t try it at first has silky fur now. His fur was coarse and not at all like it should be. His energy level went up as well. It’s a great food to get them that added moisture. Just experiment with the water levels. It takes some time to get used to it. Also know that the Turkey is a different consistency and needs less water. I’m happy my vet recommended this food for us to try.

I’ve been feeding the Honest Kitchen Chicken dehydrated food to my cat for over 2 yrs & she loves it. She’ll sit on the counter in the morning while I prepare it & when I set it down she runs to it & will eat what she wants. I give 1/4 cup of the chicken recipe to 1/2 cup of water. It’s soupy but that’s the way she likes it or it’ll dry up if she doesn’t eat it all right away.

Have there been any reviews on the Honest Kitchen Goat’s Milk probiotic?

My cat hates this food so much. This is the only food that I can’t make him even try a lick. More or less water, it doesn’t matter. I put my cat’s favorite treats/toppers/can/even dry food on top of it, trying to encourage him to eat, but none of them work. Usually for the food that my cat dislike, he will at least eat the toppers and then leave the food. Not for this one. As long as the treats/toppers touches this food, my cat refuses them. He doesn’t even want to get any closer to this food. He runs away, even if he is hungry. I can tell by his reaction that he hates this food so much. I think it’s the smell. As one of the negative reviews says, this food has a nut smell, or some kind of plant smell? I can’t tell exactly what it smells like, but it definitely doesn’t smell like the general cat food. Maybe the dehydrated process kills the smell of meat, or maybe they put too much strong smell greens in the recipe. I don’t know. It doesn’t smell like meat, not at all. For me it smells more like a human Spinach soup, and it looks like it. It’s green full of Spinach floating.
