Just thinking, I should have been a little more specific about the food, It's a freeze dried or dehydrated food so if your animal is not used to it you may want to just try as a topper at first. I think if they are raised on that type of food it's not a problem, we wanted to try because of a sick ferret, it seemed to be a healthier food. But she was just so used to canned wet and her dry that she just wouldn't go for it. I think that Honest Kitchen is similar so you may want to compare.
