Lucy Postins the owner of The Honest Kitchen tells The Doggie Chronicles all about their unique and healthy line of dehydrated dog food. Their selection of meat, fruit, and vegetable ingredients begin and end their process as fresh wholesome human grade food throughout the manufacturing process.
The food contains no by-products, added salt or sugar, chemical preservatives, artificial colors or flavors and NO beet pulp, rice, wheat, corn, or soy. Which makes them ideal for dogs with allergies including dry, itchy skin, hair loss, lack of energy, chronic ear problems or other health issues.
Each dry-measured cup of food should be mixed with 1 to 1.5 cups of warm water, and will yield about 1lb of fresh food. The fresh food consistency will resemble oatmeal or stew and should be fed to your pet immediately ensuring a fresh meal.

The Doggie Chronicles Tip of the week is to trust your canine friend and never put anything past them because you never know when they might save your life!
