Open Farm Pollock & Oatmeal Digestive Health (All Life Stages, Dry)

Ingredients (first two, verbatim and in label order, per manufacturer product page): Wild-caught Wild-Alaskan Pollock, Non-GMO pumpkin. Open Farm publishes only these two inline and keeps the complete statement behind a View Complete Ingredients expander on the same page; check the bag for the official ingredient statement. The manufacturer sells this recipe as Pollock & Oatmeal Digestive Health Dog Kibble.

Guaranteed analysis (as fed, per manufacturer): Crude Protein (min) 28%, Crude Fat (min) 10%, Crude Fiber (max) 4.5%, Moisture (max) 10%, Docosahexaenoic Acid (DHA) (min) 0.15%, Vitamin A (min) 15,000 IU/kg, Vitamin E (min) 450 IU/kg, Omega 3 Fatty Acids (min) 1.1%, Omega 6 Fatty Acids (min) 1.2%, Taurine (min) 0.2%, Total Microorganisms (Bacillus coagulans) (min) 200 million CFU/lb. Energy 3,600 kcal/kg (410 kcal/cup). AAFCO: Open Farm Digestive Health Wild Alaskan Pollock & Oatmeal Recipe Dog Food is formulated to meet the nutritional levels established by the AAFCO Dog Food Nutrient Profiles for All Life Stages including growth of large size dogs (70 lb. or more as an adult) (per manufacturer). Open Farm notes that the omega fatty acids, taurine and microorganism lines are not recognised as essential nutrients by the AAFCO Dog Food Nutrient Profiles, and that the CFU figure is colony forming units per pound.

The probiotic guarantee is the headline here and it is double every other Open Farm recipe: 200 million CFU per pound of Bacillus coagulans against 100 million on the Epic Blend line, published as a figure rather than a claim. Fat is the lowest in the whole Open Farm dry range at a 10 percent minimum, which is the usual direction for a digestive formulation since dietary fat slows gastric emptying, and pollock is one of the leanest whitefish available. Vitamin E at 450 IU/kg and vitamin A at 15,000 IU/kg are both lifted well above the 50 and 5,000 on the standard recipes. The AAFCO statement includes growth of large size dogs, which few targeted formulas manage. Two gaps worth naming. Open Farm publishes no calcium or phosphorus guarantee for this recipe on the product page, and those are the two figures that matter most for a large breed growth claim, so the claim rests on the statement alone with no supporting numbers. And only two ingredients are published inline, the fewest of any recipe in the range, so the oatmeal named in the product title is not itself visible in the published ingredient list.

Questions about Open Farm Pollock & Oatmeal Digestive Health (All Life Stages, Dry)

How many probiotics does it guarantee?

200 million CFU per pound of Bacillus coagulans, which is double the 100 million published on Open Farm's Epic Blend recipes and the highest figure in the range. It is stated as a number on the label rather than as a claim.

Why is the fat so low?

At a 10 percent minimum it is the leanest dry recipe Open Farm publishes. Lower dietary fat is the usual direction for a digestive formulation, and pollock is a lean whitefish to begin with.

Can large breed puppies eat it?

The maker's statement says yes, covering All Life Stages including growth of large size dogs at 70 lb or more as an adult. Worth knowing that the product page publishes no calcium or phosphorus guarantee, and those are the figures that normally support a large breed growth claim, so there are no supporting numbers to check against the statement.

What are the first ingredients?

Open Farm publishes only two inline: wild-caught Wild-Alaskan pollock and Non-GMO pumpkin. The oatmeal in the product name does not appear in the published inline list. The complete statement sits behind the expander on that page.

How much protein does it have?

Crude protein 28% as-fed minimum, with 3,600 kcal/kg or 410 kcal per cup. These are the maker's published figures, not our measurements.
