Overview
["This 7 lb bag of The Honest Kitchen's Wholemade Whole Grain Beef & Salmon is a human grade, dehydrated food formulated for puppies, and it rehydrates to make about 28 lbs of food. It's built in chunk form with salmon called out as a special ingredient, and it's labeled limited ingredient and suited to all breed sizes.", "The Honest Kitchen positions this recipe around supporting puppy growth and development along with digestion and immunity, which are common focus areas for young, growing dogs. As with any puppy food marketed around general wellness, it's meant to support healthy development rather than address a specific diagnosed issue, so a vet should be consulted for any health concerns.", "At $89.99 for a 7 lb bag that makes 28 lbs of rehydrated food, it's a significant investment compared to standard puppy kibble, reflecting the human grade positioning. With 40 reviews and a 4.0 star average, it has a modest track record so far."]
