Comments about The Honest Kitchen Keen Dog Food:
Our golden retriever is allergic to many different dog foods. We tried out 12 different foods before we found Keen and we knew within 2 day that this was the food for him. He was never able to have normal stools until Keen and now he does well. We prepare his food and after it's done we add a cup of organic kibbles to supplement and add variety. The combination of both works great for him. However, we have to stick to the amount of keen we give him in order for him not to get sick.

Comments about The Honest Kitchen Keen Dog Food:
The first time I rehydrated Keen, my dog went crazy, did the happy dance and when he was done, went back to lick his bowl twice!
I used to feed a raw diet, for which I had to buy a deep freezer - this is a lot more convenient, travels easily and doesn't take any space at all!
And his stools are great, firm and all. However, I do have to mention that there is a little more output than on raw alone. I can live with that.
Great product, great price and according to my dog - AMAZING taste!

Comments about The Honest Kitchen Keen Dog Food:
My Chihuahua Rat Terrier mix has had problems with other foods. He would often get an upset stomach a short time after eating and hack up his food later. With Keen he loves the food and no stomach problems later. Some times I add just a bit of his kibble just for crunch.

Comments about The Honest Kitchen Keen Dog Food:
My stepmom turned me on to your dog food. At first I thought it was expensive but then I considered vet bills for hot spots that my border collie suffers constantly. His energy level, skin, coat and overall health have improved dramatically. My chihuahua loves it, too. They get so excited when it's time to eat! Thank you so much for providing my "furry" kids with such awesome food! I have used Verve, Embark, Keen and Force and they love it all!

Directions
Keen, although designed as a high quality low cost food, has not compromised in any way to the quality of the food used. It is still a standalone formula or can be used to supplement any homemade food diets that your pet currently enjoys. If raw dehydrated food is a different form of food than the one your beloved companion currently enjoys, then it is important to help your pet successfully make the switch to this new type of food.
If your pet is already on a raw food diet, then hydrate Keen and just mix the new food into the dog’s normal food. For other pets that are on commercial dry kibbles or canned dog foot, then it is better to take several days to a week to help them make the switch.
Start with mixing a little bit of hydrated Keen with the regular dry or canned food. On the next meal, add a little more. Keep doing this until you are feeding equal parts of both kinds of food. Then slowly increase the amount of Keen and decrease the amount of the commercial food. By making the transition slow, your dog's intestinal flora will adapt in a much better way and the dog will be able to digest food more easily. Once you are feeding straight Keen, then we suggests that you add up to a ½ cup of the dog's favorite meat, vegetable or fruit to the mixture.
Mixing Instructions
For each dry measured cup of Keen, mix 1 to 1 ½ cups of warm
water. After stirring well, let sit for 5 - 10 minutes for the
mixture to hydrate. It will resemble oatmeal or a stew when ready
to serve. At this point, you can mix in your pet's favorite foods.
Serve right away. If the dog doesn't finish the serving, be sure to
pick up the remainder and refrigerate until the next meal. If there
is any food remaining after 48 hours, discard.
Yield Guidelines
When mixed properly, the following yields should be seen:
| 1 cup (4 oz.) | Makes about 1 lb of fresh food |
| 16-17 cups (4 lbs) | Makes about 16 to 17 lbs of fresh food |
| 40-43 cups (10 lb box) | Makes about 40 to 43 lbs of fresh food |
Feeding Guidelines
Following the guidelines listed below, to determine the appropriate
amount of this new dog food to optimize your dog’s diet. The
following daily amounts can be adjusted to suit the variations of
breed, age and level of activity as required for each dog. Also,
the amount of additional food can be adjusted to accommodate a day
that is ‘very active’ for the dog to maintain health
and fitness levels. If the dog weighs -
| Dog's Weight | Less Active | Very Active |
| Up to 10 lbs | 1/2 Cup | 1 Cup |
| Up to 30 lbs | 1 Cup | 2 Cups |
| Up to 50 lbs | 2 Cups | 4 Cups |
| Up to 70 lbs | 2 1/4 Cups | 4 1/2 Cups |
| Up to 90 lbs | 2 3/4 Cups | 5 1/2 Cups |

Question:
Keen Dog Food - Can you tell me what the protein percentage is?
Also, what is your best recommendation for dog food for a pet with kidney disease?Asked on 10/20/2011 by Sally from Grand Rapids, MI1 answer
Answer:
Keen has a minimum of 21% protein in the guaranteed analysis. I'd recommend our Force formula which also contains 21% protein (the protein is from human-grade chicken, so it is a high quality and bio-available protein source). Force is a grain-free and gluten-free food (grain and gluten are common allergens in dogs) made with wholesome ingredients.

Question:
Is this food low enough in protein to give to my dog who is in kidnet failure?Asked on 10/16/2011 by Anonymous from Afton, Tn.1 answer
Answer:
Yes we would recommend using Keen in this situation since dietary oats could be beneficial to dogs with hypercholesterolemia, or high cholesterol, which can occur in several diseases such as kidney disease. The protein is low enough and also not processed. Renal failure in cats and dogs makes processed protein harder to digest hence why low protein diets are the norm. Unprocessed proteins are much easier and healthful for our beloved pets.Answered on 10/17/2011 by Customer Care from CSR Office
Question:
My 6 year old pitbull has been diagnosed with kidney failure and is currently on Royal Canin Renal formula. Would this food, or another holistic product carried by your company be appropriate to use? She of course is on a low protein diet. My vet sells and recommends Purina NF, but I have chosen the Royal Canin hoping it contains somewhat better ingredients, but I have my doubts! Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am also ordering Tripsy today as it was highly recommended by a friend:) thank you...Ronda Brown Greensboro, NCAsked on 10/14/2011 by Anonymous from greensboro, nc1 answer
Answer:
Depending on which veterinarian you consult with, if they have a more holistic approach they'll know that protein is only a concern if it's "processed" like all dry kibble foods are. The Keen Dog Food is dehydrated so the turkey is not processed but still considered to be in its raw form and is very easily digested by your pet. The Tripsy product will most certainly help to ease the pain and discomfort associated with renal failure by soothing the irritated and inflamed tissues.Answered on 10/24/2011 by Customer Care from CSR Office
