What is fishmeal and why is it used in this recipe?

We'd love to share that we intentionally include fish meal in our dry kibble recipes, as they provide extra nutrition! Fish meal, fish with the water removed, is a concentrated source of amino acids needed for healthy muscles and is a highly concentrated source of animal protein! There are many species of whitefish available. We source primarily hake or the freshest whitefish based on seasonal availability. Our whitefish meal is sustainably sourced and always ocean-caught, never farmed.

We rely on AAFCO guidelines for all our formulation requirements. The protein named in the title of our Recipe makes up at minimum 25% of the recipe per their guidelines!

Reviews

Newbie

"We just rescued a Belgian Shepherd lab mix and are wanting to start off with the correct nutrition. So we ordered your food based on all we had seen and read and boy. Did she love her venison. You guys definitely passed the test!"

Manuel P. (5/5)

Digestive Troubles Settled!

"We had to switch our food and so happy to have found Open Farm. The boys love the taste and their systems are no longer having issues. It is also super convenient to have it arrive at the door every few weeks."

Willemijn I. (5/5)

My dogs like Open Farm. I like it shipped on time.

"My dogs Kye and Hazel have been on Open Farm for about 2 years. I had trouble getting it shipped to me from Amazon Prime. Always late could never depend on it. My local pet store did not carry the 11 lb bags. I always buy 11 lb bags."

Denise C. (5/5)

Venison Grain free dog kibble

"My English Bulldogs are allergic to lots of grains/protein and after getting their allergy tests done, venison is the best choice for them. They love the taste and I love how well they are doing with this food."

Kristen G. (5/5)

Of course I researched this

"Of course I researched this product before ordering but. . . my concern was whether my dog could tolerate it due to intolerance to some foods. I am happy to say she is doing well on it. And she loves the taste. I feel she is receiving a well rounded diet."

Patricia G. (5/5)

Mealtime is a Treat!

"Great food and taste delicious. Pomeranian tested and approved by my two boys. They love the delivery direct from Open Farm. Save us lots of money over the big chain stores. Delivery is as fast as a Pomeranians running for a treat!"

Paul A. (5/5)

Loves venison!

"Eddie loves it!! He has a very sensitive stomach and is intolerant to the more mainstream proteins and needed a change. He’s still in the transitional phase but he’s tolerating it really well and has a new found excitement about food !!"

Susanne D. (5/5)

Superior nutrition

"Another excellent product for top nutrition! Pup loves her Open Farm in every protein source we’ve tried over the years. Annual vet check confirms perfect weight, condition & coat quality again!"
