Hi Tracie – I love your shows and website. Thank you for all your great advice.
I am currently using Dr Harvey’s Canine Health. I add my choice of protein to the freeze dried mixture of veggies and whole grains. This product also has vitamins and mineral supplements.
I am thinking about also incorporating the Honest Kitchen product.
Platinum Performance sounds like a great product. Would it be overkill to include Platinum Performance if I am feeding Honest Kitchen and Dr Harvey’s. Is Platinum Performance best for home cooked meals?
Neither of my dogs have joint issues but I am considering PP to prevent joint issues in the future. Thank you for your help.
I explained to Marsha as follows:
If you feed Honest Kitchen you probably don’t need Dr Harveys. From what it appears, this food is a sort of a copy cat of HK except without the protein. I’ve recently seen glossy ads for it and realized that Honest Kitchen got to this “party” before any other food company!
Honest Kitchen has quite a few grain-free mixes, too. Keep in mind that Honest Kitchen is human grade food that is dehydrated, not freeze-dried, which can preserve more food value.
You’d have to do a comparison of price per pound of the two – and see how that works out – remembering that Honest Kitchen supplies a balanced meal with costlier protein sources in it (all human grade).
Myself, I feed HK at every meal along with some added protein, cooked vegetables and starch I make myself and a bit of high-end kibble for hunger satisfaction. But every dog is different .
I’d love to see you giving the Platinum P for joint problem PREVENTION. Not enough people do that. It also supplies the vitamins & minerals for home prepared foods.
And you MUST give Omega-3 oil at every meal – I swear by Nordic Naturals because of the purity and freshness. It is a building block of a healthy and long life. Keep up the good work!
Tracie
