The Honest Kitchen
The Honest Kitchen was founded in 2002 by Lucy Postins with a bold mission: to create the world’s first human-grade pet food. Starting in her own kitchen with just $7,000, Lucy grew the brand into a trusted supplier distributed in over 5,000 stores worldwide, while remaining privately owned and dedicated to quality. Specializing in minimally processed, whole-food recipes, The Honest Kitchen produces dehydrated meals, dry clusters, wet food, toppers, and more—all made in human food facilities using non-GMO, responsibly sourced ingredients like cage-free chicken, ranch-raised beef, and organic quinoa. Their commitment to nutrition, transparency, and sustainability is reflected in certifications such as B Corp status and AAFCO-compliant, human-grade production standards.
