Editor ingredient insight
Open Farm RawMix Wild Ocean combines whitefish and fish meal with salmon, herring, rockfish, potatoes, and sweet potatoes.
At 31% protein, 14% fat, and 3,695 kcal/kg, it is worth considering as a fish-based everyday food for regularly active adults without fish restrictions.
It is not a single-fish diet for investigating reactions. Choose another recipe if potatoes or legumes must be avoided.

03. CHOOSING FOR YOUR DOG
What to consider before feeding
Ocean Whitefish, Ocean Menhaden Fish Meal supply animal protein at the start of the ingredient list. Potatoes, Sweet Potato supply carbohydrate energy. The recipe combines animal protein sources with carbohydrate sources.
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 unspecified, menhaden, salmon, herring. Some protein sources are not fully identified, which limits choices that require excluding a specific protein.
What works well in this food
- 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.
- High protein and weight management are separate questions. Judge weight control by daily calories from portions and treats.
- 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.
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
- Prioritizing protein without seeking higher calories
- Dogs that already tolerate the disclosed animal proteins
- Shoppers who want a meat-forward recipe
Choose another food first when
- One of the disclosed animal proteins must be excluded
This is still a food-first read, so your own dog can reshuffle the final order later.
