Feed Wise considers this a workable everyday option for Open Farm RawMix Tide & Terrain Ancient Grains Dog Kibble, a dry kibble formula led by wild alaskan pollock, menhaden fish meal and ocean whitefish meal. The manufacturer publishes a AAFCO nutritional adequacy statement, so it can be fed as a complete daily diet for all life stages. Supporting the rating, it is manufactured in United States and the facility standards on file include 100% traceable ingredients, Third party certified humane sourcing (G.A.P. / Certified Humane) and Ingredient level origin disclosure.

1. Wild-Alaskan Pollock
Tier A, exceptional food ingredient
Named Marine Protein
Named fish. Provides high value protein plus marine omega 3 fatty acids.
2. Menhaden Fish Meal
Tier B, high quality supportive ingredient
Named Rendered Protein
Named fish meal. Concentrated named marine protein.
3. Oats
Tier C, moderate or neutral ingredient
Whole Carbohydrate
Whole oat grain. A moderate glycemic whole carbohydrate.
4. Barley
Tier C, moderate or neutral ingredient
Whole Carbohydrate
Whole carbohydrate source. Evaluated on position, quantity and combined plant load rather than treated as automatically poor.
5. Ocean Whitefish Meal
Tier C, moderate or neutral ingredient
Animal Protein, Species Not Specified
Rendered marine protein concentrate. The species is not identified, so sourcing transparency is reduced.
This is the largest single category in FeedWise. It looks at which animal ingredients are present, whether the species is named, whether organs, egg and named fats are included, and whether concentrated plant proteins are diluting the animal content.
Named animal protein first
Wild-Alaskan Pollock is a named animal ingredient in position 1.
Animal Prominence Index
Animal Prominence Index 55 of 100. This is a FeedWise position-weighted measure of how far animal ingredients dominate the ingredient panel. It is a label-position index, not a manufacturer-disclosed recipe percentage.
Liver
Liver is included.
Heart
No heart in the ingredient panel.
Other appropriate organs
Additional organs included: kidney.
Whole egg
No meaningful egg inclusion.
Named animal or marine fats
Named animal or marine fat sources: Wild-Alaskan Pollock, Wild-Caught Pacific Salmon.
Verified animal ingredient proportion
Manufacturer confirms 95 percent animal ingredients.
Every ingredient is classified into a quality tier and weighted by its position on the label, so ingredient number one counts far more than ingredient number fifteen.
Position weighted ingredient quality
29 food ingredients assessed by quality tier with early positions weighted most heavily. 19 fortifying nutrients or preservatives excluded from the average.
Vague animal ingredients
Animal ingredients without an identified species: Ocean Whitefish Meal, G.A.P. Step 4 Beef Bone Broth.
Ingredient splitting
Multiple fractions of the same core ingredient appear: SUNFLOWER FAMILY (Sunflower Oil (Preserved with Mixed Tocopherols), Organic Sunflower Seeds).
Carbohydrate is not calculable because ash is not disclosed. It is left blank rather than overstated.
Carbohydrate burden
Carbohydrate is not precisely calculable because ash has not been disclosed. This is an evidence limitation, not evidence of high carbohydrate, so it is removed from the score and reported as reduced confidence.
Ingredient based plant load
Plant load assessed as HIGH. Carbohydrate bearing plant ingredients: Oats (whole grain), Barley (whole grain), Potatoes (starchy vegetable), Tapioca (refined starch), Organic Butternut Squash (starchy vegetable).
Split plant fractions
Split plant fractions understate the true plant load in the ingredient order.
Processing method: Extruded. This category measures food integrity only. Raw handling safety is assessed separately under Safety and Quality Control, so a raw food can score well here and still lose safety points.

Recall context and corrective action
No recalls on file.
A recall alone does not destroy a score. Severity, cause, frequency, recency and documented corrective action are all considered.
Unknown information is not treated as bad information. It is scored as unverified and it lowers the confidence rating instead.
Canadian retailers on record. Stock and price vary by store and province.
Only certifications we can confirm from the brand's own documentation or the certifying body appear here. Nothing is assumed — if a program isn't listed, it isn't disclosed for this product.
