Open Farm Grain-Free Chicken & Salmon Pate (Adult, Wet)

Ingredients (first five, verbatim and in label order, per manufacturer product page): Wild-Caught Pacific Salmon, Humanely raised chicken and chicken liver, Non-GMO potatoes, Non-GMO sweet potato, Flaxseed. Open Farm publishes these inline and keeps the complete statement behind a View Complete Ingredients expander on the same page; check the can for the official ingredient statement. The manufacturer sells this recipe as Chicken & Salmon Pate for Dogs.

Guaranteed analysis (as fed, per manufacturer): Crude Protein (min) 7.5%, Crude Fat (min) 5.5%, Crude Fibre (max) 2%, Moisture (max) 78%. Calorie content 1,159 kcal/kg or 410 kcal per can. AAFCO: Open Farm Chicken & Salmon Recipe is formulated to meet the nutritional levels established by AAFCO Dog Food Nutrient Profiles for Adult Maintenance (per manufacturer). Open Farm publishes only four guaranteed lines for this recipe, so there is no published calcium, phosphorus or omega figure to transcribe.

As with the chicken and beef pate, the name and the label disagree about which protein leads: salmon is the first ingredient here, ahead of chicken and chicken liver. At 1,159 kcal/kg this is the most energy dense can in the dog pate range by a narrow margin, 410 kcal a can against 409 for the turkey and the chicken and beef. It is also the adult version of the same protein pairing used in the puppy pate, which makes it a straightforward step down when a puppy finishes growing, though the adult recipe carries no DHA guarantee where the puppy one does. Two potatoes sit in third and fourth position, so the carbohydrate load comes from roots rather than legumes or grains. The AAFCO statement covers adult maintenance only.

How much protein and fat does it have?
