Can I feed my dog Honest Kitchen alone since I am traveling and it is hard to stock up on raw food?

Full Question:
My 55 lb. (was 65 lbs. but shed 10 lbs in 2 months) Labrador Retriever on the Raw Meaty Bones diet since October and she loves it! I currently live in Southern California and will be relocating to Hutto, Texas in February 2007 to attend The Triple Crown Dog Academy. I will be driving there with my dog and staying for the 12-week program. I want to keep her on the raw diet but have no idea how I can bring 3 months worth of frozen raw meaty bones with me during the drive. I don't know if I can even find any chicken/turkey necks out there in Hutto, Texas. So that's why I'm considering feeding her Honest Kitchen.

Now that I'm feeding her raw meaty bones, I've been buying the Salmon Oil and Vitamin E capsules from Leerburg.com but if Honest Kitchen does not require supplementation, then I wouldn't have to stock up for Texas. What do you recommend for extras if needed? Can I feed only Honest Kitchen for the whole 3 months there? Or should I assume that the local markets there will carry raw meaty bones?

Thank you for your time.

You can feed Honest Kitchen alone, but what I would do (especially for a big dog) is to add meat as about 50% of her diet. I wouldn’t worry about using necks/backs, you can use chicken leg quarters. You should be able to find those everywhere! On days you are traveling, feed the HK alone and you don’t need to worry about keeping things cold on the road.

I add Salmon Oil and Vitamin E to my dogs diets, no matter what I am feeding.
