Open Farm Kind Earth Plant Pate with Ancient Grains (Adult, Wet)
Share
Ingredients (first five, verbatim and in label order, per manufacturer product page): Non-GMO oats, Non-GMO chickpeas, Non-GMO potatoes, Non-GMO carrots, Non-GMO brown rice. 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 Kind Earth Plant Pate with Ancient Grains for Dogs.
Guaranteed analysis (as fed, per manufacturer): Crude Protein (min) 6.5%, Crude Fat (min) 3%, Crude Fibre (max) 2%, Moisture (max) 78%. Calorie content 1,019 kcal/kg or 361 kcal per can. AAFCO: Open Farm Kind Earth Plant 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, omega or amino acid figure to transcribe.
This is the only plant-based complete diet in Open Farm's dog range, and the ingredient panel reflects it: oats, chickpeas, potatoes, carrots and brown rice fill the first five positions and no animal protein appears there at all. It still carries a full AAFCO adult maintenance statement, which means the maker has formulated it to the same nutrient profile a meat-based adult food has to meet. Two things are worth checking before a switch. The protein guarantee is the lowest in the pate line at 6.5 percent as fed, roughly 29 percent dry-matter, which clears the adult maintenance minimum but leaves less margin than the meat pates at 34 to 36 percent. And Open Farm publishes no taurine, methionine or L-carnitine guarantee for this recipe on the product page, and those are the amino acids most often discussed around plant-based canine diets, so that is a reasonable question to put to your vet rather than one this page can answer.

Questions about Open Farm Kind Earth Plant Pate with Ancient Grains (Adult, Wet)
Is Open Farm Kind Earth Plant Pate a complete diet?
Yes, according to the maker's own statement. Open Farm formulates it to meet AAFCO Dog Food Nutrient Profiles for adult maintenance, which is the same profile a meat-based adult food has to meet. It carries no growth statement, so it is not formulated for puppies.
What are the first ingredients?
As listed on the Open Farm product page, the first ingredients are Non-GMO oats, Non-GMO chickpeas, Non-GMO potatoes, Non-GMO carrots and Non-GMO brown rice. No animal protein appears in the first five.
How much protein and fat does it have?
Open Farm publishes crude protein 6.5% and crude fat 3% as-fed minimums, at 78% maximum moisture, with 361 kcal per can. On a dry-matter basis that is about 29 percent protein and 14 percent fat. These are the maker's published figures, not our measurements.
Why does it score lower than the meat pates in this library?
Our tally awards two points for a named animal protein in the first ingredient position, and this recipe has none by design. The points are structural to how the tally is built and are not a judgement on plant-based feeding.
Does Open Farm publish a taurine guarantee for it?
Not on the product page. The label shows four guaranteed lines only, so there is no published taurine, methionine or L-carnitine figure for this recipe. Ask your veterinarian if that matters for your dog.
