About Lily's Kitchen
 |
| www.lilyskitchen.co.uk |
"Lily's Kitchen was established by Henrietta Morrison in 2008. Henrietta's adorable Border Terrier Lily became the inspiration for their healthy and holistic food for pets due to her battle with itchy skin and ears. Lily understood that the processed dog food they were buying wasn’t doing
her health any favours, and after a little hunger strike they cottoned on
to her concerns too. Once Henrietta discovered what regular dog food
was made from, she decided to cook all Lily’s food from scratch using
proper, natural ingredients.
The transformation in Lily’s health was so remarkable that they knew they
had to share their secret. Lily’s Kitchen is a business born out of that
desire to do the best for pets, and they’re delighted it has made such
a difference to all the dogs, cats and animal lovers who join their fan
club every day.
Nowadays, their little Border Terrier is the absolute picture of
health, and she’s thriving in her new role as Chief Taster for Lily’s
Kitchen!"

Lily's Kitchen Philosophy
"Lily's Kitchen created a range of pet foods so that your pets can benefit from a really good diet, just like Lily does.
They call their range of recipes ‘proper food’ because that is what their
food looks and smells like. They make each recipe with wholesome, natural
ingredients packed full of nourishing ingredients to keep your dog or
cat in peak condition as well as build a strong immune system to fight
disease.
Their products are unique in the world – they are the first company to
produce and launch grain-free and meal-free foods. They only ever use 100%
fresh meat in their recipes – no meat meals.
Lily's Kitchen believe in the health-promoting power of herbs, vegetables, fruits and meats from Nature’s harvest."

Review: Even though I usually feed dog food which does not contain grains (or only contains a very small amount of grains) I still think the Breakfast Crunch is a nice food as all the ingredients used are fresh and natural. They smell also very nice and not at all like typical dog food.
Rocky really liked them and couldn't get enough of them. For him they were rather treats than food.

Review: I very much like that the Very Venison Dryfood is grain-free. All the ingredients used are fresh and natural which I think is great. Rocky also liked the Very Venison dryfood. I personally would have only preferred a higher meat content but otherwise I think it's a good quality dryfood.

Review: This is another grain-free dryfood made by Lily's Kitchen which I think is great. Even though the meat content is slightly higher than in the Very Venison dryfood I personally would still prefer a higher amount of meat. Otherwise I think it's great with all it's natural ingredients. Rocky also really liked it and ate it straight away.
Organic Chicken & Vegetable Bake
Description for the Lily's Kitchen Organic Chicken & Vegetable Bake: "Our customers tell us that our complete hypoallergenic, wheat-free organic chicken and vegetable bake is simply the best. Maybe it's because we use a unique variety of pesticide-free wholesome ingredients or it's because they can see how healthy and shiny their dogs are on our food.

Review: As I usually prefer to feed food without any grains (or only a very small amount of grains) I am not too happy with the grains in this dryfood. Also I personally think that the meat contant is a bit low. However, I think it is great that the ingredients are all (or at least the majority of ingredients) organic.
Rocky unfortunately did not like the Organic Chicken and Vegetable Bake and didn't even touch it once.
Homestyle Chicken and Turkey Casserole
Description of the Lily's Kitchen Homestyle Chicken and Turkey Casserole: "A delicious complete holistic wet food for dogs made with whole pieces of fresh chicken and turkey, organic brown rice, loads of organic vegetables and fruits, heaps of nutritious herbs, plus all the essential vitamins and minerals your pet needs for a truly healthy and nutritious diet.

Review: Even though the Homestyle Chicken and Turkey Casserole wetfood is not grain free I don't mind the small amount of grains at all. It has a high meat content (of 60%) which I think is very good and also includes a lot of fresh fruit and vegetables.
Rocky really liked the Homestyle Chicken and Turkey Casserole and it also looked very tasty.
Overall review
Overall, I think that the Lily's Kitchen Dog Food is good, fresh an natural dog food. I especially like their grain-free products (their two grain-free dryfood varieties and they have several grain-free wetfood varieies).
Delivery was also very quick.
