Whole Food Clusters Puppy Whole Grain Chicken Dry Dog Food, 4 lb Bag

I did a ton of research, possibly a bit too much, but maybe my findings will help you. I studied not only the ingredient lists of dozens of dog foods but also the companies behind them. I read independent testings and reviews and it became clear that The Honest Kitchen Puppy Clusters are the best food with some of the highest nutritional value you could feed your pup. I have a 6 months old AmStaff and we did the switch to the Honest Kitchen clusters about 2 months ago. We transitioned slowly for about 7-10 days and had no issues at all. At the beginning we soaked the clusters in warm water and smooshed them slightly since our pup was transitioning from wet food. Now we just keep a bowl of water nearby. We love using our pup's meal time as enrichment, so she eats most of her meals in form of puzzles or snuffle mats which works so great with the size of these clusters. The price is on the higher side but it seems absolutely justified for the quality. My puppy is happy and I am at ease knowing I give her the best food possible. Since I wished more reviewers would share what else they feed, here is our current nutrition set up, in hopes it might help someone else make their decision easier. 6 months old female AmStaff/Bully/Pitbul Mix Main meals: Honest Kitchen Puppy Clusters (about 2 to 2.5 cups depending on the day) divided into two portions (morning and evening), mostly given in snuffle mats, as training rewards, and in puzzle toys. Kibble: Orijen Puppy Kibble. We use those for some training, snacks throughout the day, to scatter when needed, and in toys (about 1 cup a day) Wet Food: Combination of Purina and Ziwi. We are currently transitioning away from Purina (and would recommend you do the same) We only use wet food to freeze inside Kongs - licking the frozen food is soothing and calms her down especially before naps. High-value treats: Combination of Ziwi Peak (air dried full nutrition food but crazy expensive) The beef and mackerel.lamb flavors balance really well with the Honest Kitchen clusters. We also use one ingredient freeze dried salmon and beef liver) and enrichment treats such as Yak Cheese, Dried Cod Skin, Collagen- and Bully Sticks. We also add things like fresh apples, carrots and broccoli on occasion (not every day). That's our set up - I hope it helps in building your own. ;-)

My puppy doesn't want any other food she is spoiled to this one. I was feeding her blue before this but now she only wants this one. Plus I like that the ingredients are a little more cleaner for her to eat.

We are obsessed with The Honest Kitchen- I never question if my dog is getting the nutrients she needs as a sweet little pup. Yes there are crumbs at the end of the bag sometimes but this is because Honest Kitchen does not use many artificial ingredients like other pet food brands do. For example, Honest Kitchen actually tells you the type of meat and it's human grade.

I can confidently say that my 15-week-old Norwegian Elkhound puppy is particularly fond of this food. Although there is a small amount of powder at the bottom, we simply mix it with a little of her wet topper. While the price may be somewhat steep, her enthusiasm is unmistakable. She looks forward to every meal, and I prioritize spending on high-quality food. It is a more appealing option than the dry, processed kibble. I am grateful to have found this product.

My dog loved this food. I've seen some reviews talk about crumbs in the packaging. I have seen a little of this, but am not bothered by it one bit. You can tell the food is a bit drier than some others, but to me that just means there's less cheap oil/fat used to hold the kibble together. She eagerly licks up the crumbs, so there's no waste here. It doesn't stink like some other brands I've tried. That makes me think the ingredients are truly of a higher quality.
