Open Farm RawMix Front Range Grain-Free Dog Kibble

Editor ingredient insight

Open Farm RawMix Front Range is extruded dry kibble with freeze-dried pieces and a bone-broth coating, not a raw or single-beef diet. Beef, menhaden fish meal, sweet potato, pork, lamb, and herring make the protein range broad. At 30% protein, 15% fat, and 3,545 kcal/kg, I would reserve it for dogs that tolerate multiple meats and fish, not for elimination feeding or dogs needing tighter fat and calorie control.

Key takeaway

This food offers a stable basic protein structure.

Protein source

Ingredient guide

Fresh-meat led with no plant protein support

Animal protein

Humanely Raised Beef (#1), Ocean Menhaden Fish Meal (#2), Humanely Raised Pork (#4), Lamb (#5), Herring Meal (#6), Pork Liver (#14), Beef Kidney (#27)

It clears the protein floor without plant-protein boosting.

The animal-protein flow and absence of plant-protein boosting are comparatively clear.

Species-named animal protein ingredients stay near the top, and protein does not fall into a clearly low band. The trade-off is that this is not the same as a fresh-meat-first premium pattern.

What works well in this food

  • The first ingredient is a species-named fresh meat.
  • Crude protein is on the higher side.
  • 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.
  • The first ingredient is a species-named fresh meat, but the top profile turns to Sweet Potato by the third slot instead of staying fully animal-led.
  • Public data is usable, but not at the highest-trust tier.
