Open Farm Grain-Free Homestead Turkey & Chicken
Editor ingredient insight
Open Farm Grain-Free Homestead Turkey & Chicken leads with turkey, chicken, and ocean whitefish meal, so palatability and animal-protein appeal are clear, but potatoes, chickpeas, green lentils, and peas follow immediately.
It is worth considering for active dogs that tolerate poultry, fish, and grain-free legume/starch structures.
At 30% protein, 14% fat, 3,600 kcal/kg, and 1.2%/1% calcium/phosphorus, it is not overly heavy, and salmon oil plus menhaden meal broaden the flavor profile.
Choose another recipe for legume-sensitive dogs or allergy troubleshooting because the protein and carbohydrate variables are both wide.

03. CHOOSING FOR YOUR DOG
What to consider before feeding
G.A.P. Step 1 Turkey, G.A.P. Step 2 Chicken supply animal protein at the start of the ingredient list. Potatoes supply carbohydrate energy. The recipe combines animal protein sources with carbohydrate sources.
Garbanzo Beans (Chickpeas), Green Lentils contribute plant protein alongside carbohydrates and fiber further down the ingredient list. Total crude protein is not a measure of meat-derived protein alone. Coconut Oil add fat and energy; fat content is a separate choice criterion from the protein sources.
Across the registered ingredients, multiple protein sources appear, including turkey, chicken, unspecified, menhaden. Some protein sources are not fully identified, which limits choices that require excluding a specific protein.
What works well in this food
- The first two ingredients are both species-named animal ingredients.
- Crude protein is on the higher side.
- Nutrient disclosure is broad enough to compare real numbers directly.
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.
- Top ingredients include an FDA-investigated non-hereditary DCM ingredient profile, so this part deserves a more cautious read.
When this food fits your dog
Among foods made the same way, protein is higher, fat is typical, and calorie density is typical. This combination is worth comparing when protein matters but a higher-calorie food is not the aim. High protein alone does not make it an active-dog-only food; judge weight changes against total daily calories.
Consider it first when
- Your dog already eats the listed animal and plant ingredients comfortably
- You want animal ingredients first without excluding plant ingredients
Choose another food first when
- You need to exclude a listed ingredient
- You need a verified animal-protein proportion, which ingredient order alone cannot provide
Plant-protein concentration remains the clearest trade-off here.
