Overview
Unlike standard kibble, this Honest Kitchen recipe is dehydrated rather than extruded, and it's made with human-grade ingredients centered on turkey and whole grains. It's labeled as complete and balanced on its own, but it's also flexible enough to use as a topper over your dog's regular food.
At just over $80 for a 10-pound box, it's priced well above typical kibble on a per-pound basis, which reflects the human-grade, dehydrated format rather than a standard mass-produced dry food.
Pros
Human-grade ingredient sourcing, a step above standard pet-grade kibble
Can be used as a complete meal or as a topper for added variety
Whole grain, turkey-based recipe
Dehydrated format may appeal to owners wanting less-processed food
Cons
Significantly more expensive per pound than standard dry kibble

Lower review count and rating, 4.4 stars, than several other formulas in this category
Performance notes
Because this is a dehydrated whole-grain formula rather than an extruded kibble, feeding it involves rehydrating with water before serving, which is a different routine than scooping straight from a bag. That extra step is the tradeoff for a human-grade, less-processed ingredient profile.
What buyers say
At 1,186 reviews and a 4.4-star average, this sits a bit lower than the mainstream kibble brands in this group, though roughly 2,000 units bought in the past month still shows a steady, if smaller, customer base drawn to its human-grade positioning.
Yes, as a dehydrated food it's meant to be rehydrated with water before serving, whether you're using it as a full meal or a topper.
Can I use this as a topper instead of a full meal replacement?
Yes, Honest Kitchen designs this recipe to work either as a complete meal on its own or as a topper mixed into your dog's regular food.
Why is this more expensive than typical dry dog food?
