AAFCO: Open Farm New Zealand Venison & Ancient Grains 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). Certified Humane Venison is the first ingredient.

This dry kibble recipe leads with Certified Humane venison, followed by oats, ocean menhaden fish meal, whole grain barley and sorghum. 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 states the recipe is suitable for small and medium breed puppies in addition to adult dogs. Ingredients are ordered by their weight before cooking, so the fresh venison outweighs any single grain even though the combined grains make up more of the finished kibble's dry matter. The manufacturer sells the recipe in 4 and 22 pound bags. Millet, whitefish meal and coconut oil round out the early ingredient panel.
