Is Open Farm RawMix Large Breed Grain-Free Dog Kibble a good dog food?

We score it 50/100 (Average). This reflects the ingredient quality, composition and label transparency of the recipe as declared on the label.

How we score

Why this score?

This recipe achieves an overall rating of 50 out of 100. The inclusion of ingredients without printed percentages contributed -13.1 points, and the processing format adjusted the score by -7. Conversely, the overall quality of the ingredient list added +6.8 points, while being labelled nutritionally complete contributed +1.7 points to the final evaluation.

Only part of the analytical constituents are declared, so the nutritional picture is incomplete.

100% of this recipe has no printed percentage. Estimated shares are model estimates, not label facts.

The Recipe score measures how attractive and transparent the declared ingredient list is. It is not, by itself, proof that the food is nutritionally appropriate for long-term feeding. The Nutritional and Evidence scores measure what we can verify towards that stronger claim.

Complete extruded dry food for dogs of all life stages, with chicken, potatoes and sweet potatoes as the main ingredients.

Why you might choose it

  • Doesn't list grain ingredients.
  • High in protein: 33% protein on a dry-matter basis.
  • Declares energy content, which most labels omit.

Why you might not

  • 100% of the recipe mass has no printed percentage, so the exact split cannot be verified.

Score history across model versions

The score shown above is always computed with the latest published model. Earlier scores are kept for the record and are never edited or deleted; a scoring change ships as a new model version with a public write-up on the methodology page.

Nutritional: declared analysis vs reference ranges

How the declared analysis compares with FEDIAF reference ranges for adult dogs. The label prints as-fed values; we convert to a dry-matter basis before scoring, and the bands are dry-matter ranges. Scores rise to 100 at the band midpoint: the reference is adequacy, not maximisation. Nutrients with a published upper limit taper again above it; fat is policed through calorie density rather than a direct penalty.

NutrientAs fed (label)Dry matter (scored)Score

Calcium:phosphorus ratio1.21.2 (band 1 to 2%)82
Omega fatty acids (omega-6 and omega-3)--100
Energy (kcal/100g)365405.6100

Omega fatty acids (omega-6 and omega-3): scored as the mean of its declared components (omega-6 100). The FEDIAF minimum for omega-6 is linoleic acid specifically.

Scored over 8 declared nutrients (combined weight 100); undeclared nutrients do not affect the score.

Low confidence: partial analysis or moisture estimated from the food type.

This measures agreement with published reference ranges, not suitability for an individual dog. For medical conditions, follow veterinary guidance.

Transparency: what the label discloses

How much the manufacturer discloses, measured against the FEDIAF Code of Good Labelling Practice and Regulation 767/2009. Mandatory items dominate the weighting.

Safety: recall history

Evidence: what the brand claims, and what supports it
