I was wondering if anyone has tried the Honest Kitchen Dehydrated food in either the chicken or the turkey? I have not bought it yet just curious before I do what others think of it and if it is a healthy food.

I definitely do not have the freezer space. I can barely fit food for my daughter and I in the freezer and garage barely fits my car.
I've used the Prowl before on the recommendation of the Aby breeder. It's a good food but expensive. I stopped feeding it after awhile since my Aby really wasn't interested in snacking on it during the day. It's a good product overall. It's a good way to feed raw if you don't have the freezer space for frozen raw. The powdered food must be rehydrated in water for a few minutes before serving. You can make the food soupy if your cat likes that.
You can get a sample of Prowl and Grace from The Honest Kitchen's web site. A sample csots $1. Sometimes a pet store will have free samples. You can ask at a store that sells The Honest Kitchen's products.
The cats get about half raw foods of various types and half canned foods of various types, which seems to work for the people and the cats. To focus on the raw: I currently feed mostly freeze-dried -- and mostly Primal, which the cats love -- but I'm planning to increase the amount of Rad Cat I give them. I also occasionally give them frozen Stella & Chewy's, though I'm not sure I'll buy that again... they like Rad Cat better, particularly the turkey, and it's very good food. It is frozen, though, and you have to portion it out yourself.
Thank you for responding. I will look into the 2 brands that you suggest. Do you feed only free-dried or do you feed other types of as well? I have 3 cats and 2 will eat wet food and one will occasionally. So I thought maybe she would eat the free dried.

For freeze-dried foods, I feed our cats Stella & Chewy and Primal because they're both much lower in carbs. The cats love both brands and I totally agree with LTS3 about the convenience of free-dried foods.
I learned a lot about cat food when our previous cat was sick, most likely with IBD and then lymphoma. We didn't know anything about cat foods until then -- what I learned comes in very handy with our new cats, who are Siamese mixes with sensitive stomachs.
Thank you so much. You are a wealth of knowledge when it comes to feeding your cats nutritional food. I hope I can do as well for my three and even the dog could benefit from better food too. I can't forget him. Although he is easy because he will eat whatever you put in front of him.
