Wondering the same thing I have been using food that says all life stages for my 8 month old standard poodle, should I be using puppy only?

[cindy q]

Regina how old is your standard?

[cindy q]

Oh and don’t give too much pumpkin it can give them diahrea.

[cindy q]

My dog dosen’t like the merrick wingaling she did seem to like merricks brats & tots and tonight I mixed merricks tripe with her kibble and she ate all of it!

[cindy q]

I just read you can give 1/4 tsp. for every 20lbs ypu dog weighs once a day.

[cindy q]

Last night I mixed about a 1/2 tablespoon of raw honey in with her kibble and she ate all of it! Does anyone know if a tablespoon of honey a day is ok for a almost 8 mos old standard poodle?

[cindy q]

what is the benefit of raw honey for dogs? I use it myself but never thought to give it to my dogs. How much do you feed them and do you feed it everyday?

[cindy q]

Thanks RescueDaneMom!

[cindy q]

I noticed alot of people said Victor, but when I looked at their ingredients the first was beef meal wouldn’t beef be better?

[cindy q]

Rosie is only 7 mos almost 8 so we don’t really have favorites yet, but she has eaten Blue Buffalo wilderness her stools were very loose on it so we switched to Merrick grain free dry and topped with Merrick canned. I really wanted her to like The Honest Kitchen, but she didn’t.

[cindy q]

Just wondering how everyone feels about Merrick?

[cindy q]

I don’t have the answer because your post could have been eritten by me. I am going through this with my Stansrd Poodle right now. She was a great eater she would lick her bowl clean and look for more. She is almost 8 mos old and she just starting being picky a few weeks ago.

[cindy q]

I give my dogs fage, because that is what I eat and they love it.

[cindy q]

They also give 20% off your first food order.

[cindy q]

Its funny they told you they are “gently cooked” they told me they are not cooked and that dehydrating “technically” cooks them. My puppy won’t eat it anyway and my 8year old liked it for a few days and now she won’t eat it either.

[cindy q]

Maybe she means the regular forum and not this one? I paid.

[cindy q]

After Mike’s comment about the potatoes should be cooked in dehydrated food I was curious to see if Honest Kitchen does cook them first. I contacted them and they said no they do not cook them first. They said dehydrating them “technically” cooks them.

[cindy q]

Thanks for your reply!

[cindy q]

That does help Mike. Thank you. I would be curious to know what food you use?

[cindy q]

I think if you could just tell us nothing has changed with the way Honest Kitchen is making their food, that everything is the same as when they did make the list then we would feel better. I think we are all here for the same reason, we want the best for our babies. I very much appreciate this forum and I am still trying to figure out what to feed my Standard Poodle puppy, my toy will eat anything (except kibble) the Standard was a good eater but suddenly has gotten quite picky. So I have been checking all the 5 star foods on here trying to find something she will eat. Thanks for all the time and work that you put into this.

[cindy q]

Well said!

[cindy q]

Merrick makes one with lamb.

[cindy q]

I wonder if maybe they used China in the past? It was a older post.

[cindy q]

I am hoping this isn’t correct, but I just read on dogforums.com that honest kitchen uses some things from China. It was a older post, but the poster said they contacted honest kitchen and they said while they try to get most things from the US they do get some from China, Thailand and I believe some where else.

[cindy q]

I have a box of love and force and I don’t see anything like that in them.

[cindy q]

Anyone that is feeding Honest Kitchen do you only feed that or are you using it as a topper? My one dog loves it and the other doesn’t seem to like the texture of it.

[cindy q]

I was just going to come here and ask this same question? Must be a reason it was removed?

[cindy q]

I got samples of honest kitchen, gave it to my 7mos old puppy yesterday snd she loved it, I was so glad because lately she isn’t really wanting any of her food. Just a few weeks ago she was eating everything and licking her bowl clean. Well today I ordered a box of honest kitchen for her & tonight I gave her another sample of honest kitchen and this time she wouldn’t eat it!

[cindy q]

any opinion on Honest Kitchens dehydrated or fresh pet select? Which is better? I would like to feed raw but its so expensive and I really don’t have time to make my own.

[cindy q]

My standard poodle puppy loved the food but it gave her diarrhea so I had to switch to Merrrick, she is better on Merrick but still loose stools.

[cindy q]

Yes she has had fecal test done at the vets and everything tested ok. I just today bought pure canned pumpkin but I haven’t tried it yet Thanks for your reply!

[cindy q]

I just ordered sardine and anchovy oil, how much should I add for a 6mos old standard poodle.

[cindy q]

I never tried Wellness but my 6mos old standard poodle and my 8 year old toy poodle are on merrick & they love it. I just switched from Blue Buffalo Wilderness. Merrick does give the puppy gas, but so did Blue Buffalo.

[cindy q]

*1/2 merrick

[cindy q]

Another question, my puppy (6 mos old standard poodle) is now at the point where she is on 1/2 blue buffalo wilderness and have merrick, her stools are firmer now. Can I keep her on this mixture or should I continue weaning her off the blue?

[cindy q]

Thanks so much for the replies!

[cindy q]

What about rotating with in the same brand? I just started using Merrick for my puppy I am slowly switching her off Blue Buffalo wilderness because her stools were always very, very loose on it. I noticed Merrick has different varietys like buffalo, chicken. Lamb, pork would it be ok to switch between the different varietys.

[cindy q]

Thank You! And I didn’t even notice that you said “what you were eating”.

[cindy q]

What food are you using? Thanks
