Have you heard of EVO from Innova? How does it compare to Honest Kitchen? Also, do you have any problems with E. coli?
Full Question:
Cindy,I was wondering if you have heard of EVO from Innova it is grain free and how it compares to Honest Kitchen. From there web site they don't recommend feeding EVO to large breed dogs under 2 because it is low in carbs. Is this true with honest kitchen? I have a GSD that is 21 months old and I am looking for a grain free food. Have you ever had any problems with E coli from the raw diet, lately it seems that there has been a lot of e coli recalls?
Thank you for your time,
Joe
Cindy's Answer:
Hi Joe,
I have heard of EVO. As far as kibble goes, it’s ok. I just can’t recommend processed pellets for feeding any dog though. I don’t believe in it at all.
Honest Kitchen really can’t compare to kibble, because it’s dehydrated as opposed to being processed at high temperatures. Honest Kitchen is for all life stages, I would recommend Embark or Force if you want to go grain free.
No problems with bacteria. Think about the things dogs eat and lick! They have a much different digestive system than we do and can handle bacteria that would make us sick. If you want to know the truth though, most kibble is loaded with bacteria as well. It’s just not an issue for a healthy dog. If you read my Q and A on Feeding a Raw Diet, you will find a lot of useful information.
I hope this helps
