Fromm kibble vs Honest Kitchen dehydrated: Which dog food is best?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Cavalier King Charles Spaniel | Female | spayed | 6 years and 3 months old | 17 lbs

I'm having a hard time deciding between Fromm kibble and honest kitchen dehydrated dog food. I think honest kitchen is an excellent food but it's a little pricey. Is their a better choice here? Please explain? (The honest kitchen food is not raw but cooked at 165 degrees.)

There are so many choices out there for diets now it is almost exhausting trying to choose among them. One of the main things you can at least look for on the packaging is the AAFCO certification. This means that the company at meets a certain standard and that the pet food company meeting this standard has underwent certain testing voluntarily by an independent organization. Fromm's is definitely one of these companies. Honest kitchen is also AAFCO approved though they would like to make the claim that their food is essentially people food. Dietarily speaking, I am more a traditionalist and would definitely going with Fromm's. They are a well-established company that will go to great lengths to defend their product and name. In terms of my personal recommendations as to food quality and efficacy, Purina and Hills Science Diet are the only company that do extensive food trials for every single one of their diets as far as I know. In my opinion, that is the only way to ascertain the effectiveness of a diet.
