AAFCO: Open Farm Epic Blend Chicken & Superfood Recipe Dog Food is formulated to meet the nutritional levels established by the AAFCO Dog Food Nutrient Profiles for All Life Stages including for growth of large size dogs (70 lb. or more as an adult) (per manufacturer). Open Farm notes that the omega fatty acids, taurine and microorganism lines are not recognised as essential nutrients by the AAFCO Dog Food Nutrient Profiles.
This is the one Epic Blend recipe whose AAFCO statement includes growth of large size dogs, where the beef and salmon versions both exclude them. That single word, including rather than except, is the whole large breed puppy answer and it is the reason to pick this recipe over its siblings if you have a dog that will finish above 70 pounds. The rest of the label matches the beef version almost line for line: 30 percent protein, 14 percent fat, thirteen guaranteed lines, taurine at 0.2 percent, and a published probiotic figure of 100 million CFU per pound of Bacillus coagulans. Chicken and liver are combined into one ingredient entry, then pumpkin, blueberries and chicken bone broth, so the inline list is all chicken-derived or whole produce. Calcium at a 1.2 percent minimum with phosphorus at 1 percent is what makes the large breed growth claim possible, since over-supplemented calcium is the problem that profile exists to prevent.
