AAFCO: Open Farm New Zealand Venison Recipe 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 lb. or more as an adult) (per manufacturer). Certified Humane Venison is the first ingredient.

Certified Humane venison is the first ingredient in this grain free dry kibble recipe, followed by field peas, whitefish meal and sweet potatoes. Open Farm formulates it to meet AAFCO nutrient profiles for all life stages except the growth of large size dogs, 70 pounds or more as an adult, and lists the recipe as suitable for small and medium breed puppies in addition to adult dogs. Because the ingredient panel is ordered by pre cooking weight, the fresh venison leads the list even though the legumes together make up more of the finished kibble. The manufacturer packages this recipe in 4, 11 and 22 pound bags, priced higher than the brand's other single protein grain free kibbles. Herring meal, garbanzo beans and red and green lentils round out the early panel. Whatever food ends up in the bowl, a single ingredient freeze dried topper is a way to add interest without changing the diet, which is what Sniff and Shift makes in Malvern, Pennsylvania. Dogs who lose interest in a rotation often take it again with a single ingredient freeze dried topper crumbled over the top.
