Who is it for?

This food is formulated for puppies during their growth stage, up to the point they transition to an adult formula. It suits owners who specifically want chicken and salmon as the named proteins and ancient grains rather than legume-heavy carbohydrates.

It's also a sensible pick if you're comparing dog dry food brands for a new puppy and want a recipe you can keep feeding consistently from day one, rather than switching every few weeks.

Feeding & use

Follow the feeding guide printed on the bag — portions scale by your puppy's current weight and expected adult size, not by age alone. Puppies typically eat three to four small meals per day, tapering to two meals as they mature.

When switching from a previous food, transition gradually over 7–10 days by mixing increasing amounts of the new recipe into the old. Keep fresh water available at all times, and store the bag sealed in a cool, dry place to protect the fats in the kibble.

What else should I look at?

If your puppy does better on a single animal protein, Open Farm - Salmon & Ancient Grains Puppy Dry Dog Food keeps the same ancient grain base with salmon only. When your dog outgrows the puppy stage, Open Farm - Harvest Chicken & Ancient Grains Dry Dog Food is the closest adult equivalent, and Open Farm - Homestead Turkey & Ancient Grains Dry Dog Food offers a turkey-based alternative for rotation.
