Open Farm Chicken & Ancient Grains (All Life Stages, Dry)

Ingredients (first four, verbatim and in label order, per manufacturer product page): Humanely Raised Chicken, Oats, Whitefish Meal, Millet. Open Farm publishes these four inline and keeps the complete statement behind a View Complete Ingredients expander on the same page; check the bag for the official ingredient statement. The manufacturer sells this recipe as Harvest Chicken & Ancient Grains, so the shelf name carries the word Harvest that the index entry does not.

Guaranteed analysis (as fed, per manufacturer): Crude Protein (min) 26%, Crude Fat (min) 15%, Crude Fibre (max) 4.5%, Moisture (max) 10%, DHA (min) 0.11%, Calcium (min) 1.2%, Phosphorus (min) 1.0%, Vitamin A (min) 5000 IU/kg, Vitamin E (min) 50 IU/kg, Omega-3 (min) 0.4%, Taurine (min) 0.2%. The page also lists an Omega-6 minimum, but prints it in IU/kg rather than as a percentage, which does not match the unit used for every other fatty acid on the label, so it is left off here rather than transcribed as published. Energy 3,730 kcal ME/kg (420 kcal ME/cup). AAFCO: Open Farm Harvest Chicken & Ancient Grains recipe is formulated to meet the nutritional levels estimated by the AAFCO Dog Food Nutrient Profiles for all life stages except for the growth of large-size dogs (70 lbs or more as an adult). (per manufacturer).

This is the chicken sibling of Open Farm's lamb and beef ancient grains recipes, and the guarantee is identical on every line that matters: 26 percent protein, 15 percent fat, 4.5 percent fibre, 10 percent moisture. The only real difference across the three is the first ingredient and a few calories, so the choice between them is about which protein your dog does well on rather than about nutrition on paper. Whitefish meal is third here too, so it is a two protein recipe. The AAFCO statement excludes growth of large size dogs, which rules it out for a large breed puppy but not for an adult of any size. Open Farm calls the chicken humanely raised, a husbandry claim rather than an origin one, and publishes no made in statement on the product page.
