I started him on Verve a month ago, and
I cannot believe that this is the same dog. His energy level
has steadily increased. His eyes are bright and he just looks
healthier; and more importantly, he just looks happier…I
cannot thank you enough. Now I just need to find something

This is the only food that I feed my dog, who is my best friend. My dog is a big happy clown, full of love and energy. The service is outstanding. My experiance with Petwellbeing has been better than any other online retailer. They deliver what they promise, on time, and at a fair price. Moreover, their site is easy to use without wasting a lot of time. Customer service is always there should an issue arise. All and all, I recommend this company and products 100%.

I started buying your products… My two youngest went crazy over Verve. As soon as they finish, they try to eat the oldest girls' portion (she's a bit slower)… Thank you for making a product I can trust and that I know is good for my "kids".

Comments about The Honest Kitchen Verve Dog Food:
Mixed Verve with ground chicken, she ate it the first night , following nights- tried it alone with no people food added and would not eat it, mixed it with wet dog food would not eat it, mixed it with dry food still would not eat it, tried sneaking it in a tiny bit at a time, she tasted her food and walked away.After reading the reviews, about how their pets just loved this dehydrated food, I thought that I`d finally found the yummy food answer for my picky -wanna -eat- people -food-dog...but no go, and I`m out almost a hundred dollars, between the dog and my 2 cats with the Grace cat food! Would cost me too much s/h to return the products...will not waste any more money can`t afford to. Believe me...I really, really tried to get my pets to eat these products because of the cost, and so now for me, I will go back to making the dog`s meals and giving my cats canned cat food.

Description
Verve is a convenient, easy way to serve your dog wholesome food.
It was designed to bridge the gap between commercial canned and kibble dog food and the time consuming process of making your own healthy homemade food. We believe that a selection of fresh organic, human grade foods are much better than the cooked mixture of by-products, fillers and other processed ingredients being served to many unfortunate pets, day after day.
Verve is a complete nutritious meal in itself. It’s full of natural healthy foods like organic grains, hormone free meat, non genetically modified fruits and vegetables. Verve contains only the freshest quality ingredients, which are then dehydrated in a gentle slow manner to preserve all the essential vitamins and minerals of the original food. This is a safe and healthy process. The meat used in Verve is dehydrated at a high temperature that kills off bacteria making it safe to serve in this raw dehydrated form.
Verve contains absolutely no by-products, extra salts, sugars artificial colors and flavors and all chemical preservatives that are commonly found in commercial dog food. This is truly a product for those that want the best for their pet without the mess and time it takes to create the same healthy meal at home. If you are looking for an alternative to the processed food available in the stores, then this is the dog food for you.
Verve tastes great. Dogs love this unique blend of ingredients with the robust beefy flavor they adore.

Directions
Verve raw dehydrated dog food acts as standalone meals. These meals are nutritionally complete to keep your dog happy and healthy. However, many people like to use Verve, as a supplement to an already raw or homemade dog food diet.
Keep in mind that making the switch to a raw dehydrated food from commercial kibble or canned food is easier for your pet if you transit them to the new food slowly. By switching the food in this way, the dog’s intestinal flora has time to adapt and will become more efficient at digesting the new food.
If your pet is already on a raw food diet, then you can mix hydrated Verve into the dog’s normal diet right away. If this is a new kind of food for your dog, then introduce Verve gradually over several days to a week. Mix a little Verve, according to the instructions, and stir into your dogs’ normal kibble or canned food. Over the next couple of days, slowly reduce the amount of dry or canned food served and increase the amount of Verve until the mixture is one to one. Then carry on in the same way so that the old dog food is slowly reduced until you are feeding only Verve.
Mixing Instructions
Verve raw dehydrated foods, should be mixed with 1 to 1 ½
cups of warm water. Stir well, then let sit for a good 5 – 10
minutes for the mixture to hydrate properly. When it is ready, it
will resemble oatmeal or a stew. The way in which the food is
dehydrated, maintains the bright color of the ingredients. Once the
mixture is ready, you can add in up to ½ cup of your
pet’s favorite extras like meat, vegetables, fruit, or even
bones. At this point, serve the meal right away instead of waiting.
If the food is not totally consumed at one time, refrigerate the
leftovers. If there is still some of this same food left after 48
hours, it’s time to throw it out and start fresh.
Yield Guidelines
By following the guidelines, this hydrated raw dog food produces
the following yields:
| 4 oz. - (1 cup) | Makes approx. 1 lb of fresh food |
| 4 lbs - (16 to 17 cups) | Makes approx. 16 to 17 lbs of fresh food |
| 10 lbs - (40 to 43 cups) | Makes approx. 40 to 43 lbs of fresh food |
Feeding Guidelines
Honest Kitchen Verve should be measured and served based on the
dog’s weight and type of lifestyle. Be sure to mix as per the
instructions. The following chart can be adjusted as required for
the different breeds, ages and levels of activity for each dog. The
chart is as follows:
| Weight | Less Active Lifestyle | Very Active Lifestyle |
| Up to 10 lbs | 1 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 |
Some dogs will require more and some less. Start with the proper measurement, and consider that although it may not appear to be enough for some dogs, you can add in from ½ to 1 cup of additional fresh food to each serving. For best results, wait until Verve is well hydrated before adding in fresh food.
