Open Farm RawMix Wild Ocean Grain-Free Dog Kibble

Editor ingredient insight

Open Farm RawMix Wild Ocean is extruded dry kibble with freeze-dried pieces, not a one-fish raw diet. Whitefish, menhaden fish meal, potatoes, sweet potato, salmon, herring, and rockfish create a broad fish formula. At 31% protein, 14% fat, 3,695 kcal/kg, 0.5% omega-3, and 2% omega-6, it fits dogs that tolerate multiple fish proteins, not allergy elimination feeding.

Key takeaway

This food suits active adult dogs that need stronger muscle-support nutrition.

Protein sits in a higher band, the animal-protein source is comparatively clear, and calorie density is not low. That makes this a stronger fit for active adult dogs than for weight-control priorities.

What works well in this food

  • A fish-protein lead can be worth reviewing when you are trying to avoid a specific land-meat protein.
  • The first ingredient is a species-named fresh meat.
  • Crude protein is on the higher 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.
  • Weight reduction still needs to come first when calories must stay tighter.
  • The first ingredient is a species-named fresh meat, but the top profile turns to Potatoes by the third slot instead of staying fully animal-led.
