AAFCO: Open Farm Senior Turkey & Chicken Recipe is formulated to meet the nutritional levels established by the AAFCO Dog Food Nutrient Profiles for adult maintenance (per manufacturer).
Two things set this apart in the Open Farm dry range. It is the only recipe with guaranteed joint supplement figures on the label, glucosamine at 1,300 mg/kg and chondroitin sulfate at 1,550 mg/kg, which is a number rather than the vague joint support claim most senior foods carry. And it is the lowest calorie dry food in the line at 401 kcal a cup, against 420 to 475 everywhere else, which is the right direction for a less active older dog while protein stays high at 31 percent. That protein and calorie combination is the current thinking on senior feeding, more protein to slow muscle loss and fewer calories to hold weight, and it is unusual to see both moving the right way on one label. Worth knowing: the recipe is named turkey and chicken but chicken is the first ingredient, ahead of turkey. Also, senior is a marketing life stage, not an AAFCO one, so the statement here is adult maintenance, which is correct and is what every senior food on the market carries.

Questions about Open Farm Grain-Free Senior Turkey & Chicken (Adult, Dry)
Does it guarantee glucosamine and chondroitin?
Yes, and with figures. The label guarantees glucosamine at a 1,300 mg/kg minimum and chondroitin sulfate at 1,550 mg/kg. It is the only recipe in the Open Farm dry dog range that publishes either.
Is turkey or chicken the first ingredient?
Chicken. Despite the order in the product name, the label lists humanely raised chicken first, ahead of humanely raised turkey.
How much protein and fat does it have?
Open Farm publishes crude protein 31% and crude fat 12.5% as-fed minimums, with 3600 kcal ME/kg or 401 kcal ME per cup. That is the lowest calorie density and among the highest protein levels in the Open Farm dry range.
Why does the AAFCO statement say adult maintenance rather than senior?
Because senior is not an AAFCO life stage. AAFCO recognises growth and reproduction, and adult maintenance. Every senior dog food carries an adult maintenance statement; the senior positioning is in the formulation, not the statement.
Where do these numbers come from?
