Honest Kitchen's Thrive is a low carbohydrate diet made with chicken, organic, gluten-free quinoa, and vegetables. A minimalist, nourishing diet, Thrive is recommended for dogs with sensitive stomachs, intolerance to glutinous grains, or dogs that benefit from excluding potatoes, flax, and fruits from their diet. Contrary to popular belief, quinoa (pronounced keen-wah) is not a 'true' grain but a plant related to chard and spinach. It is an excellent fibrous, grain-like substitute. Despite the leaves being edible, the sweet, nutty seeds garner all the attention. Quinoa seeds contain twice the protein of rice.
The Honest Kitchen starts with fresh, raw ingredients (because raw food is what nature intended for dogs) and gently dehydrates, a process by which the moisture is removed and the nutrients, enzymes and other valuable compounds are left intact. These wholesome, natural foods for dogs help you create delicious and nutritious meals made with real, recognizable, and human-grade ingredients that are ready to prepare and serve at home. Simply add warm water to rehydrate, and you have a complete meal. A nutritionally balanced blend of USDA chicken, with dehydrated raw (non-GMO) vegetables and organic, gluten-free quinoa, Thrive contains absolutely no added salt, sugar, artificial preservatives, flavors or by-products of any kind.
Honest Kitchen's dehydrated raw dog food products are formulated to meet the AAFCO nutrient profiles for dogs. You needn't add anything to make Thrive 'complete'; however, additional vegetables, raw bones (no cooked bones) and/or meats can be added for extra calories or for variety. Easy serve re-closable box or convenient travel size available.
Suitable for: All life stages; puppies, pregnancy, lactation, active adult dogs & healthy seniors. Thrive is naturally low-carb, with just 37% carbohydrates. Low carb diets are often indicated as part of a holistic approach to cancer recovery.
