AAFCO: Open Farm Small Breed Chicken, Turkey & Ancient Grains 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).
A small breed formulation that is genuinely reformulated rather than just milled smaller. Against Open Farm's standard ancient grains recipes it carries three animal proteins in the first three ingredients instead of two, more fat at 16 percent against 15, and noticeably more of several micronutrients: vitamin A at 10,000 IU/kg against 5000, vitamin E at 80 against 50, omega-3 at 1.2 percent against 0.4 and omega-6 at 2.5 percent against 1.25. Calcium is also higher at 1.5 percent against 1.2. The practical consequence is calorie density: 436 kcal per cup in a bowl sized for a 12 pound dog means the daily ration is small, and a couple of training treats is a real fraction of it. Weigh the food rather than scooping. The AAFCO statement reads all life stages except growth of large size dogs, which is academic for a small breed food but is the wording on the bag.
