Grandma Lucy’s provides you with pet food and treats you can trust and feel comfortable feeding to your pets because we are just like you, concerned and loving parents.

About Whole Food Clusters: We believe that fresh, clean ingredients with minimal processing provide pets the best nutrition possible. Created with a Veterinary nutritionist, these 100% human grade clusters are made with real WHOLE foods. They’re mixed in small batches, cold pressed, slow roasted and dehydrated to maintain the nutrients, aroma and textures of whole foods. They look Different because they are different, straight from our kitchen to yours!

Most pet food makers would never invite you inside their kitchens—because they’re not kitchens. They’re heavy processing plants. Our company started in our founder’s kitchen in 2002, where she made meals for her family (both human and pets). Today, we still prepare food with the same love and uncompromising quality. Our food is made from ingredients you’d recognize in your own kitchen right alongside breakfast cereals and bakery mixes, so it satisfies the same rigorous safety, cleanliness and quality standards of people food. If we couldn’t put it on our own dinner table, we won’t feed it to your pet.

From eggs and salmon to pumpkin and parsley, wholesome foods you recognize and can pronounce are the only ingredients we use. And what we leave out is as important as what we put in. Our food is made in the USA and never contains the potentially unsafe and unhealthy ingredients found in feed-grade products.

No by-products or fillers – No additives or preservatives – No “4D” meats or feathers – No corn, wheat or soy – No ingredients from China – No GMO ingredients. Our suppliers must certify they meet the strictest standards for food safety and health as well as sustainability and fair-trade practices. Every year, each of our suppliers signs our “human food grade guarantee” and “statement of quality and integrity”. Not easy to become one of our supplies — and for good reason.

Made Honest Less Processed Process: Made in our kitchen – We start by mixing 100% human grade batches of fresh meat and produce. Cold pressed – then we cold press these whole foods into pure and delicious whole food clusters. Slow roasted and dehydrated – each cluster is slow roasted and gently dehydrated for maximum nutrients. For Veterinarians, food safety experts and savvy pet owners, there’s 100% human grade, and there’s everything else. It’s the best Pet food you can buy, ensuring a level of quality and safety no feed-grade product can claim. We use only the highest quality ingredients from sources we trust (and no phony, feed grade ingredients ever). Our preparation methods and facilities meet safety standards 7x those of feed-grade ones. We do more than meet the highest standard for food safety and quality — we invented It. A few other pet food brands have since followed our lead, but most continue to use inferior, feed-grade ingredients. Once you learn the difference, you’ll never go back to feed grade again.

The Honest Kitchen Preference dog food is a grain-free base mix where you choose your pup’s favorite protein and simply add water.

ABOUT THE HONEST KITCHEN:

The Honest Kitchen started in Lucy Postin’s kitchen in 2002 when she started making her dog’s meals from scratch to help combat his ear infections. The physical difference from his new diet was spectacular but her kitchen was a mess.

Lucy then realized that dehydrating whole foods made mealtimes much simpler while maintaining the natural health benefits of the ingredients. From there, The Honest Kitchen was born – and her kitchen stayed much cleaner!

Today, The Honest Kitchen is on a mission to revolutionize the pet food industry through their obsession with product integrity and commitment to help as many pets as possible get on the road to good health through natural, wholesome proper food.
