What kind of Honest Kitchen food do you recommend for my dogs?

Cindy,

First I want to thank you and Ed for your wonderful web site. I'm learning so much, but still have tons to learn from you guys!

I have a couple questions about the Honest Kitchen dog food. Here is my situation, we have an 8 year old small breed mix (13lbs) and today we are going to pick up a 10 month old spaniel mix (20lbs) from our local shelter. Both dogs eat dry kibble and we'd like to make the switch to feeding the Honest Kitchen food. We work during the day so the dogs are not overly active. The older dog currently plays fetch for about 10-20 minutes a couple times a day and also gets walked for about 30 minutes - 1 hour daily.

Here are my questions:

1. Could/should both dogs eat the same type of Honest Kitchen food? I read on the site that Verve may be the best suited for dogs switching from commercial kibble, but I wonder if they should be on Embark....especially the younger.

2. What time of day is the best time to feed, and should they be fed once a day or split the meals into two? Currently, the older dog is used to being fed half portions twice per day.

3. Any recipes you could send of additional foods we can add to Honest Kitchen would be great!

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide and again for your wonderful web site.
