Is it okay if I add chicken to Honest Kitchen food everyday for my dog?
Full Question:
I have just one other question regarding the raw diet.As I mentioned in my other email to you, my 18 month old mainly likes seeing chicken in her bowl. Sometimes when I put red meat in the bowl she doesn't eat all that much of it whereas when its chicken she eats it all.
Because of this I thought I might try HK just to make sure she got all the important stuff to keep her healthy and add the chicken to the HK.
Am I right to think like this or is chicken every night of the week ok if that's what she likes.
In any case my HK along with the rest of my order arrived today and tonight she was given the new meal. She ate every last drop in the bowl and she can be a bit finicky so I was impressed. Must be good stuff :)
If keeping HK in the diet is recommended then I will certainly do as you suggested and switch between the 3 types.
Thanks again for your help and everything you do to help the rest of us get all this good information.
Sincerely,
Chris

Glad to hear she likes the HK. Many dogs that are picky really love the stuff. J I feel that you should be feeding HK in conjunction with chicken. A chicken only raw diet it deficient of nutrients over the long haul.
I would still add other types of meat, even just a small amount. If chicken is her favorite that’s ok to feed it along with HK as the foundation of her meals but I would still suggest you add some red meat a few times a week also. Maybe small “meatballs” of hamburger plopped in the bowl? Have you ever given her sardines or ground pork? I would experiment a little bit and see if you can get her to eat a little “new” stuff..even if it’s only an ounce or two.
