Open Farm Review: Setting the Bar for Fresh, Quality Pet Food


A high quality and sustainable dog and cat food option for your pets
Last Updated:June 17, 2021
"You are what you eat" applies to our pets too! You may have heard of Open Farm: they make pet food from fresh, high-quality ingredients sourced from audited farms. Their commitment to strict, sustainable, and ethical practices means better food for your pet, and the proof is in their recipes. A few highlights below.
Defining what quality pet food looks like at Open Farm

Dogs and cats thrive on a protein-rich diet. Open Farm wants your little buddy to live life to the fullest, so they use fresh, naturally raised meat as the first ingredient in every recipe. They've partnered with the best family farms across North America, New Zealand, and Australia to source premium meat from animals raised the right way.
Still not convinced? Open Farm is all about transparency and wants you to feel good about what goes in your pet's bowl. Every ingredient is 100 percent traceable via their online tracker, so you know exactly where each bag comes from and why it's there.
Not your run-of-the-mill kibble

Like us, some pets have dietary restrictions, and finding the right food can be tough. Open Farm makes it easier with both grain-inclusive and grain-free kibble and several protein options. Their kibbles share one thing: no artificial flavours, colours, preservatives, or animal by-products. The fruits and veggies are locally sourced and GMO-free. Far from out of budget, their kibble starts at just $18.99!
