Open Farm Goodbowl Harvest Chicken & Brown Rice Dog Kibble

Editor ingredient insight

Open Farm Goodbowl Harvest Chicken & Brown Rice is oven-baked dry food. Chicken and chicken meal lead, then brown rice, peas, and sorghum, making the animal-protein axis comparatively simple within Goodbowl. At 25% protein, 12% fat, 3,500 kcal/kg, 0.02% DHA, and 0.2% taurine, it is useful to compare against denser kibble, but it is still a regular diet rather than a strict elimination diet. I would avoid it for chicken avoidance or pea-sensitive stool.

The first and second ingredients are both animal-based, so baseline protein quality stays stable. A whole-grain ingredient appears in the third slot, so this reads more like a mixed recipe than a fully animal-led one.

What works well in this food

  • The first ingredient is a species-named fresh meat.
  • Crude protein does not drop into a clearly low band.
  • Calorie density is on the lower side.
  • Top ingredients do not show a prominent FDA-investigated non-hereditary DCM ingredient profile.

Check before feeding

  • Phosphorus is 1% on the label, at or above 1%. Senior dogs or dogs with kidney concerns should have phosphorus restriction reviewed with a veterinarian before using it as a staple food.
  • Whole plant protein sources can contribute to crude protein, so the animal-protein share still needs a closer read.
  • Public data is usable, but not at the highest-trust tier.

Ingredient Analysis Comments

  • •G.A.P. Step 2 Chicken is a named fresh meat ingredient. The animal source is clearly identified. It reads as an top-tier protein source.
  • •Chicken Meal is a species-named animal meal ingredient. It is rendered rather than fresh, but the species source is still clearly identified. It reads as an upper-tier protein source.
  • •Brown Rice is a whole or coarse grain ingredient. It usually plays more of a carbohydrate and fiber role than a core protein role. It reads as an upper-tier carb and fiber source.
