I've tried Spot Farms, Honest Kitchen, and Grandma Lucy's with my dogs over the last several months. Grandma Lucy's is the best in all categories I would grade, but it's also the most expensive of the three I've tried. Honest Kitchen is okay in quality, lower priced than Grandma Lucy's, and my kids will eat it. Spot Farms, and I've tried both this one and the turkey, comes out as the *best* value of the three.Spot Farms rehydrates with better expansion, fresher smells, and easier to serve consistency, than Honest Kitchen. And, Spot Farms is waaaaay less expensive than Grandma Lucy's (or, even, Honest Kitchen). On top of all that, my kids - one 70lb pit/lab mix, and one 13lb rat terrier - gobble it down faster than anything other than (the more expensive) Grandma Lucy's brand (I've tried pork & chicken of this brand).The best re-hydration mix is an equal amount of water-to-meal mix. That's not *quite* right. I add water in the measuring cup halfway to the next measurement. EX: I put three-quarters of meal-mix into a bowl, then fill the measuring cup to halfway between three-quarters and a full cup of water b4 heating the water for 80-85 seconds (1100 watt microwave). Mix *very* well so all the dry meal gets at least some moisture. After mixing, I use the fork to smooth the mix out in the bowl and let it sit for about 5 minutes. You'll end up with a "paste" that looks like the first pic I'll try and attach to this post. After the 5 minutes, I get the paste flipped over, "stir" with the fork,and flatten it out in the bowl again before dividing it into separate portions for my two dogs. I then, in their separate bowls, use the fork to "cut" the paste into appropriate sized chunks for them to eat out of their bowls (see second pic I'll try and attach).Really, if you are wanting to get your kids away from the poisons they put in dog foods nowadays - and try and prevent their succumbing to the increasing risk of cancers prevalent from these poisons - then Spot Farms have the product that is best in smell (as it rehydrates, the cranberries are almost overwhelming!), flavors, consistency, taste, cost, and value, of all three of the ones I've tried.FIRST TIME USE WARNING: the first time I made rehydrated food for my dogs, the little one dived right in, but my big girl turned her nose up and refused to eat it. I finally heated up some ground hamburger I had in the fridge and added some as a topper. After that first time, she's never turned her nose up at it again. Also note, if you are changing their diet to this from something different, you're likely to see irregularities in their bowel movements until their digestive system gets used to the new diet. I only feed this to them once a day, so I take the recommended serving size and halve it. For breakfast, they get high-end, no-grain, no coloring, no preservatives, canned food. What a difference such a diet makes! Their skin issues cleared up after a couple of months, and their energy levels increased dramatically after just a couple of weeks. If you can afford it, I can't recommend a better diet for your kids than one that includes dehydrated or freeze-dried food!
