Open Farm Goodbowl Wild-Caught Salmon & Brown Rice (All Life Stages, Dry)

Ingredients (first six, verbatim and in label order, per manufacturer product page): Wild-caught salmon, Non-GMO brown rice, Non-GMO pumpkin, Flaxseed, Coconut Oil, Non-GMO carrots. Open Farm publishes these 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 Goodbowl Wild-Caught Salmon & Brown Rice Dog Kibble.

Guaranteed analysis (as fed, per manufacturer): Crude Protein (min) 25%, Crude Fat (min) 12%, Crude Fibre (max) 4.5%, Moisture (max) 10%, DHA (min) 0.1%, Calcium (min) 1.2%, Phosphorus (min) 1.0%, Taurine (min) 0.2%. Energy 3500 kcal me/kg (378 kcal me/cup). AAFCO: Open Farm GoodBowl Wild-Caught Salmon & 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).

This is the fish version of the Goodbowl value line, and it is the better of the two Goodbowl dog recipes on the published label. Same 25 percent protein and 12 percent fat as the chicken version and the same eight guaranteed lines, but DHA runs five times higher at 0.1 percent against 0.02, which is what a salmon-first panel does, and calories are higher at 378 a cup against 365. Salmon is the only animal protein in the first six ingredients, so despite being the budget line it is also a single protein food, which the more expensive lamb and chicken grain free recipes are not. Brown rice second and three whole vegetables and seeds after it is a plain, conventional panel. Our tally withholds the protein points because 25 percent misses the 26 percent threshold by one, a mechanical outcome rather than a finding about the food.

Questions about Open Farm Goodbowl Wild-Caught Salmon & Brown Rice (All Life Stages, Dry)

How does it compare with the Goodbowl chicken recipe?

Same protein and fat at 25 and 12 percent and the same eight guaranteed lines, but DHA is five times higher here at 0.1 percent against 0.02, and calories are 378 a cup against 365.

What are the first ingredients?

As listed on the Open Farm product page, the first ingredients are wild-caught salmon, Non-GMO brown rice, Non-GMO pumpkin, flaxseed, coconut oil and Non-GMO carrots. Salmon is the only animal protein among them.

How much protein and fat does it have?

Open Farm publishes crude protein 25% and crude fat 12% as-fed minimums, with 3500 kcal ME/kg or 378 kcal ME per cup. These are the maker's published figures, not our measurements.

Why does it score lower than other Open Farm recipes here?

Our tally awards two points for protein at or above 26 percent, and this recipe publishes 25 percent, so it misses by one point. That is mechanical, not a finding that the food is deficient. 25 percent clears the AAFCO adult maintenance minimum.

Can large breed puppies eat it?

No, not according to the maker's own statement, which excludes growth of large size dogs at 70 lbs or more as an adult.
