our rating

Is Open Farm RawMix Wild Ocean Fish & Ancient Grains a good dog food?

We score it 47/100 (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 47 out of 100 based on several key factors. The overall quality of the ingredient list contributed +6.6 points to the total. However, ingredients without printed percentages reduced the score by -13.1, the processing format subtracted -7, and the additive load contributed -2 points.

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 white fish, fish meal and barley as the main ingredients.

Why you might choose it

  • Single named animal protein: fish.
  • High in protein: 34% protein on a dry-matter basis.
  • Declares energy content, which most labels omit.

Why you might not

  • Meat makes up an estimated 9% of the dry matter (12% as fed); carbohydrates dominate.
  • 100% of the recipe mass has no printed percentage, so the exact split cannot be verified.
  • Its additive load costs about 2 points in the rating.

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

Fat1415.6 (band 5.5 to 20%)100

Phosphorus11.1 (band 0.4 to 1.6%)100
Calcium:phosphorus ratio1.21.2 (band 1 to 2%)82
Omega fatty acids (omega-6 and omega-3)--100
Energy (kcal/100g)369.5410.6100

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.

Evidence: what the brand claims, and what supports it
