AAFCO (Association of American Feed Control Officials) establishes nutrient standards that help ensure pet food is complete and balanced for specific life stages. The organization develops regulations, ingredient definitions, and labelling standards used by state and federal regulatory agencies. Open Farm follows AAFCO nutrient profiles and labelling guidelines across all our recipes to support nutritional adequacy and transparency.

WSAVA (World Small Animal Veterinary Association) is an international veterinary organization that provides educational resources and guidance to advance companion animal health. WSAVA does not approve or certify pet food brands, instead it provides questions that pet parents can use to help them make informed decisions about pet food.

WSAVA’s nutritional guidelines help pet parents evaluate pet food brands based on transparency, formulation expertise, and quality control standards. Rather than certifying or approving products, WSAVA offers questions that encourage pet parents to consider who formulates a brand’s recipes, how nutritional adequacy is established, and what safety measures are in place. Below are Open Farm’s responses to these questions.

Open Farm meets all the WSAVA guidelines for selecting a pet food, with the exception of feeding trials which are currently underway through an at-home program. Animal welfare has been non-negotiable for us since day one, and due to animal welfare concerns, we have not conducted feeding trials in the past, but have validated our recipes through digestibility, palatability, and stool study testing. In addition to our existing testing, we are proud to have now developed an at-home feeding trial approach that aligns with our values around animal welfare. See below for how Open Farm aligns with each of the WSAVA guidelines.

Yes, Open Farm employs an in-house board-certified veterinary nutritionist, Dr. Moran Tal-Gavriel, who is actively involved in recipe development and formulation decisions. Dr. Moran, BSc, DVM, DVSc, Dip. ECVCN, is one of just 100 board-certified veterinary nutritionists in North America, which are a small group of board-certified pet nutrition experts with the most advanced training in animal nutrition. Her multidisciplinary background spans clinical practice, public health, and academia, where her research has been published in peer-reviewed journals. At Open Farm, Dr. Moran works alongside a team of Ph.D. board-certified companion animal nutritionists, food scientists, and veterinarians to help ensure our recipes deliver complete and balanced nutrition.

Open Farm’s diets are custom-formulated with Dr. Moran, our in-house board-certified veterinary nutritionist, and supported by a team of Ph.D. board-certified companion animal nutritionists, food scientists, and veterinarians. This multi-disciplinary approach ensures that each Open Farm recipe is not only complete and balanced but delivers functional nutrition that is carefully formulated to help pets thrive. The team's designations include PhD in Animal Science, CVT, PAS, CFS, Dpl. ACAS, VTS (Nutrition), M.Sc, and DVM.

Open Farm follows a strict, end-to-end quality control process designed to protect animal welfare, ingredient integrity, and finished-product safety. We partner with trusted meat suppliers who meet third-party animal welfare standards, and all ingredients are traceable to finished product. Our animal proteins come from USDA-approved, human-grade facilities that follow biosecurity protocols and operate under government veterinary oversight.

Our manufacturing partners maintain globally recognized food safety certifications, and all finished products go through a test-and-hold process. This means nothing is released until independent third-party lab testing confirms it meets our safety and nutritional standards. We also share lot-specific pathogen testing results and ingredient sourcing details through our Transparency Tool, so pet parents can make informed decisions.

To make our food, Open Farm partners with specialized manufacturing facilities across the United States, Canada, and Iceland that meet our strict standards for quality, safety, and operational excellence. Each facility is vetted against those standards and maintains globally recognized food safety certifications, ensuring our recipes are produced in controlled environments that safeguard nutritional consistency and product integrity.

Open Farm performs digestibility, palatability, and stool studies on our recipes. We also test our recipes before production to ensure vitamins and minerals meet expected and appropriate levels to ensure pets receive optimal nutrition.

In addition, we are currently developing an at-home feeding trial program to evaluate our recipes in real home environments. Animal welfare has been a non-negotiable for us since day one, so we have taken a thoughtful approach to integrating feeding trials to ensure they align with our values. An in-home approach allows us to support animal welfare by enabling pets to participate from the comfort of their own homes, promoting natural behaviors while allowing close monitoring of key health indicators in a low-stress setting.

At this time, Open Farm has not published studies in peer-reviewed journals. However, our team continuously reviews emerging scientific literature and uses evidence-based insights to guide our formulation approach. We are also exploring opportunities to conduct future studies, including efficacy trials, with the goal of publishing peer-reviewed research as our programs evolve.

Yes, all Open Farm recipes include a Nutrition Adequacy Statement on both the product packaging and the product page. This statement indicates whether the formula is complete and balanced according to AAFCO nutrient profiles or intended for intermittent or supplemental feeding, and it specifies the appropriate species and life stage. This labeling helps pet parents clearly understand how each recipe fits into their dog or cat’s nutritional needs.

Yes, caloric information is clearly listed on product pages and on packaging for our complete and balanced diets, treats, and toppers. Energy values are provided in kilocalories of metabolizable energy (kcal ME) per kilogram, and per serving format such as per cup, carton, or pouch, based on the product type. This allows pet parents to make informed feeding decisions based on portion size and life stage.

Yes, our Pet Parent Experience team is available to support pet parents with any questions they have about Open Farm or their pet’s diet. Pet parents can contact us by email at support@openfarmpet.com, by phone at 1-833-399-3403, or through live chat on our website.

Our vet approved fresh food meal plans use a variety of factors to recommend recipes, daily caloric needs, and feeding guidelines based on your dog's unique needs and preferences. Depending on their life stage, these factors include age, activity level, weight, and body type.

The quality of food going into your dog's bowl is the foundation of any meal plan. You'll find 'human-grade' and 'all-natural' labels on many fresh food products, but we believe that doesn't give pet parents the full picture. We believe that better ingredients from better sources results in better nutrition, that's why we use 3rd party certified proteins and non-GMO fruits, veggies, and superfoods – all vet approved and 100% traceable down to geographic origin, safety test results, and more.

Additionally, one size doesn't fit all when it comes to fresh food. Open Farm's expansive range of recipes provide the variety needed to truly find a protein and format combination your dog will love. And if they get bored of their current recipe? We've got even more recipes to put on rotation and mix it up at meal time!
