Guaranteed analysis (as fed, per manufacturer): Crude Protein (min) 34%, Crude Fat (min) 17%, Crude Fibre (max) 5%, Moisture (max) 10%, Docosahexaenoic Acid (DHA) (min) 0.15%, Calcium (min) 1.5%, Phosphorus (min) 1.0%, Vitamin A (min) 10,000 IU/kg, Vitamin E (min) 80 IU/kg, Omega-3 (min) 1.2%, Omega-6 (min) 2.5%, Taurine (min) 0.2%. Energy 3,780 kcal/kg (450 kcal/cup). AAFCO: Open Farm Small Breed Chicken & Turkey 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).
This is the most nutrient dense label in Open Farm's dry dog range on almost every line. Protein 34 percent, the highest. Fat 17 percent, joint highest. Vitamin A at 10,000 IU/kg and vitamin E at 80 IU/kg, double and 60 percent above the 5,000 and 50 published on the standard recipes. Omega-3 at 1.2 percent, second only to the salmon puppy food. Calcium is also lifted to a 1.5 percent minimum against 1.2 elsewhere. That pattern is deliberate for small breeds, which eat less food per pound of body weight and so need more nutrition packed into each gram, and it is the reason a small breed formula is not just smaller kibble. The practical consequence runs the other way: at 450 kcal a cup with that fat level, portions need to be measured rather than eyeballed, because a small dog overfed on a dense food gains weight quickly. Chicken and turkey are both present, so this is not a single protein diet.

Questions about Open Farm Small Breed Grain-Free Chicken & Turkey (All Life Stages, Dry)
Is it just smaller kibble, or a different formula?
A different formula. Compared with Open Farm's standard grain free recipes the label lifts protein to 34 percent, fat to 17, vitamin A to 10,000 IU/kg, vitamin E to 80 IU/kg and calcium to a 1.5 percent minimum. Small dogs eat less food per pound of body weight, so each gram carries more.
What are the first ingredients?
As listed on the Open Farm product page, the first ingredients are humanely raised chicken, humanely raised turkey, Non-GMO sweet potato, Non-GMO pumpkin, coconut oil and Non-GMO blueberries.
How much protein and fat does it have?
Open Farm publishes crude protein 34% and crude fat 17% as-fed minimums, with 3,780 kcal/kg or 450 kcal per cup. Both are the highest in the Open Farm dry dog range. These are the maker's published figures, not our measurements.
Does the calorie density matter for a small dog?
It is worth measuring portions rather than estimating. At 450 kcal a cup, a quarter cup more than intended is a meaningful share of a 10 pound dog's daily energy.
Where do these numbers come from?
