What is the formula for switching from kibble to honest kitchen ?

do it gradually to avoid stomach distress. Do 25% new food for 4-5 days then 50% for another 4-5 days etc

On their website it says you should slowly introduce it to their diet. It suggests mixing in a small amount with their kibble for one or two days and then replacing one of their feedings with the honest kitchen food and eventually both feedings with honest kitchen. I'll be honest with you I did not even think about it when we did the switch and we went cold turkey from kibble to honest kitchen. I noticed two things when I did the switch first the dogs absolutely loved the new dog food but the second issue was that they were pooping more frequently because of the drastic shift in their diet. It's evened out now and everything is fine but I would recommend slowly introducing it. On their website it says you should slowly introduce it to their diet.

I think I would do it slowly - mix the two. I personally feed my dogs both. They get kibble in the morning and Honest Kitchen at night. I feel like this way they get more variety in their diet, and they don't get bored with it. (I add in some canned as well in the am. with the kibble - just a bit).

I switched in one day because my dog had dental work done and needed soft food - no problems. But if I had the time, I would do it slowly by replacing the kibble with the HK.

just mix it in gradually with your dogs food !!after mixing the keen with water!! as you mix more keen in, take more kibble out. each meal untill you have smoothly transitioned into an all raw keen diet.

I use round kibble and it works great. You can adjust the feeder to the size of the kibble.

Reset all? Unsure, but there appears to be no reset all feature*. To go through each meal: press and hold ENTER until the screen flashes, use the up/down arrow keys to navigate through BREAKFAST/LUNCH/DINNER, use ENTER to select your meals. Next will be a YES (feed them) or NO (do not feed at this time) - the times are not pre programmed, you do this on the next step. After you set the time, set the portions you wish to dole out.*CAUTION: if you hit the power button at the bottom and have food in the bowl already, when you turn it on and hit enter (1-2 times) the food may come pouring out (purge)... do the steps above and you should be fine.

Just check "medium." Sometimes this might not be what you want so just do what I do, if my meat does not come out the way I want it the first time, I just make a note and the next time I just use my own calculations.

Yes. Honest Kitchen is formulated to meet nutritional levels established by the AAFCO.

I can't remember. I used this kibble a long time ago and no longer have cats.

Hi Debra, I'm sorry but I ran into the same problem. You would think that with all the option's available on the scale you would think that you would be able to switch between pounds and kilos. I guess we'll have to learn metrics, sorry I couldn't help.

I honestly haven't gotten around to really plugging in stuff from my pantry inventory yet. This is what the product info says-- Working with inventory: Manage your kitchen inventory. Control the ordering properties of any inventory item (minimum order quantity, order at level, order up to level, etc.). Share inventory data with other Living Cookbook users. Customize inventory displays using your choice of fonts, background colors, headings and more. Create a printable inventory worksheet to help you take stock of your kitchen. Compare any two inventory items side-by-side.

Hi, I have two german shepherds....13 yr and 1 yr. so I go thru quite abit of it. I have ordered directly from Honest Kitchen and Amazon....truly, there is no difference. I use almost 2.5 bxs per month and almost every bag is different but Honest Kitchen is the one who determines the quality and expiration date...I think you can feel free to order without reservation.

Hi Mick! Sorry to hear of the loss of your Kitrics manual. It's not so important as long as you have the book with the food codes in it. Do you have that? Probably, you can get a new manual if you contact them at: info@DMDbrands.com 866-991-8494 This is such a GREAT scale, especially if you need to know the exact protein, carb, or fat content of any given food....SOOOOO helpful if you are going to be following a ZONE meal plan! Good luck!

With Honest Kitchen Force, I only use it (Force) and Blue Buffalo Wilderness (dry) for the dog, with dehydrated chicken jerky I make myself. For the cat, I give him the meat raw. I intend to start introducing ground chicken wings (including bones) and thighs, but haven't yet.

It's a shake, Yah you basically give up your diet and go by the schedule they give. Everything you need is provided. Good luck on your transformation.

Try looking up the Kyjen website for a video or direct help. I'd suggest the spiral bowl to make it easier for you to add the food (or clean up!) and still challenge your pup.

From another review: I made myself a little cheat sheet for the programming process, printed it out and stuck it on the fridge. Maybe it will help someone. I use two feeding times. Also I use the default "smallest" feeding portion, so I don't have to change that: 1) Turn feeder on. 2) Within 90 seconds, set time: 3) Press "Clock" to set hour / press "Timer" to set minute 4) Press "Set" to confirm. 5) Press "Clock" to toggle between 12/24 hours. 6) Press "Start" to confirm clock settings. 7) Display now shows "1 07" (first feeding at 0700) 8) Press "Set" for two seconds until display flashes. 9) Press "Timer" to set desired feeding time. 10) Press "Set" to program second feeding time. 11) Press "Timer" to set desired feeding time. 12) Press "Start" to save and exit. [To change portion size:] 14) Push VOL key to display portion size. 15) Press and hold the SET key until the digit blinks. 16) Press the VOL key to set the portion size. [ 1 = 1/4 cup, 2 = 1/2 cup etc... ] 17) Press the START key to confirm.

No, the kibble is very small. Looks a little smaller than Science Diet kibble.
