Guaranteed analysis (as fed, per manufacturer): Crude Protein (min) 25%, Crude Fat (min) 12%, Crude Fibre (max) 4.5%, Moisture (max) 10%, DHA (min) 0.5%, Calcium (min) 1.2%, Phosphorus (min) 1.0%, Taurine (min) 0.2%.

AAFCO: Open Farm GoodBowl Grass-Fed Beef & Brown Rice Recipe Dog Food is formulated to meet the nutritional levels established by the AAFCO Dog Food Nutrient Profiles for All Life Stages except for growth of large size dogs (70 lbs or more as an adult). (per manufacturer).
GoodBowl is Open Farm's more affordable line, and the guarantee shows where the money went: 25 percent protein and 12 percent fat against 26 and 15 in the ancient grains recipes, and 378 kcal per cup against 431 for the comparable beef kibble. Two things are worth reading closely. First, despite the name, brown rice does not appear in the first four ingredients; barley is third and peas fourth, so the rice sits further down the statement than the shelf name suggests. Second, the guaranteed DHA is 0.5 percent, which is markedly higher than the 0.11 percent in the ancient grains line, and menhaden fish meal in second position is where that comes from. Beef leads but menhaden is second, so this is a two protein food. The lower calorie density is a practical plus for a dog that likes a fuller bowl, and the AAFCO statement still covers all life stages bar large breed growth.
