Does anyone who lives in the UK or perhaps other European country know if there is a dog food comparable to Honest Kitchen in the U.S.? All Natural Dehydrated Dog Food

One of my daughters and her hubby may be moving to the UK for graduate work and their beloved dog will be going with them. The pup has IBS and has done exceedingly well on Honest Kitchen. Unfortunately they don't have it in the UK and Honest Kitchen will not send it there. Because of his sensitivity it would be detrimental to feed him a new food that is not similar to Honest Kitchen. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Even if you don't have a dog but know someone in the UK that does I would be grateful for your input. Thank you.

I found this but it looks more like a customizable dehydrated food which may be more costly than something sold in a store: [/URL][/URL]
Update and shout out to LTS3 LTS3 :clap: My daughter tried this brand of dog food and he seems to be tolerating it very well. She said it is similar to the Honest Kitchen she was feeding him before in the states.

V verna davies A big thanks to you also since she is keeping your recommendations as a back up since he sometimes needs to switch off foods. I appreciate your help very much. :thanks:

Gray has to have prescription food and a well known brand for specialised pet food in the U.K. is called Hills. They stock this at Pets at Home which are great big outlet stores in most towns and cities. And the best thing - you can take your dogs in with you! They have water bowls out for your dogs to drink from. And have small animals like rabbits, guinea pigs and other small furries for you to see / buy. Great to take the kids along too.
Ps - welcome to the U.K. to your daughter and hubby! If you need any further advice happy to help 😊❤

I dont know what part of the UK your daughter is moving to but a good store with different and more specialised pet food is Pets At Home, they have branches in quite a few places.

Thanks, I may take you up on your generous offer. So far everything is going well with her studies and adjusting to life in the UK. They have found two lovely parks nearby and met many fellow dog lovers. They particularly like being able to bring their dog with them just about everywhere they go including the pubs and cafes.

Yes us brits are v dog friendly. And pet friendly in general I think. Whereabouts in the U.K. are they? We have lots of different zones at the minute with very different Corona related restrictions 🙄
Where I live we are under the most serious restrictions with high rates of infection. Paws crossed they get it under control sooooon 😩

Thank you for the updates, keep them coming! Great to hear he is doing better! :blush:

(The "stupid vet" (agreed) sounds atrocious! Is there someplace you can report him when all this is over, like a veterinary association or similar, so that someone with authority might be able to check him out? I know that kind of thing takes a lot of energy, but please consider if you can.)

Thanks, but not sure what you were referring to in your comment the "stupid vet" since this thread is about a comparable UK dog food. If you have any other suggestions for food similar to the US brand, Honest Kitchen, I'd love to hear about it. :thumbsup:

That's strange. This thread turned up as an entirely different one when I've clicked on it until your reply. I'm mostly on phone though, and it's been acting a bit weird lately. Sorry :lol: .

Edit: Or I clicked on the wrong thread when I was about to answer. Sorry again, lmao. :hyper:

No worries, I wondered what could have happened but that explains it. Thanks!
