Product Summary

Open Farm’s Open Prairie Grain-Free RawMix is a dry cat food designed for adult cats, featuring humanely raised chicken as the primary ingredient.

This grain-free formula combines high-protein kibble with pieces of freeze-dried raw chicken and turkey, aiming to provide a balanced diet that supports overall health.

The inclusion of omega fatty acids promotes skin and coat health, while prebiotic fibers aid digestion.

Free from artificial additives, this recipe focuses on natural, responsibly sourced ingredients to meet the nutritional needs of indoor and outdoor cats.

 

Pros:

  • High Protein Content: Contains 38% crude protein, primarily sourced from humanely raised chicken and turkey, supporting muscle maintenance and overall vitality.
  • Omega Fatty Acids: Inclusion of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids contributes to healthy skin and a shiny coat.
  • Digestive Support: Features prebiotic fibers from ingredients like dried chicory root, aiding in healthy digestion.
  • Natural Ingredients: Free from artificial additives, ensuring a wholesome cat diet.

 

Cons:

  • Moderate Fat Content: A crude fat content of 14% may not provide sufficient energy for highly active cats requiring higher fat intake.
  • Presence of Legumes: Contains peas and lentils, which some cats may be sensitive to, potentially leading to digestive issues in susceptible individuals.
  • High Ash Content: The crude ash content is 10.5%, representing the total mineral content; monitoring mineral intake is advisable for cats with specific health concerns.
  • Freeze-Dried Components: The inclusion of freeze-dried raw pieces may not appeal to all cats, potentially leading to selective eating habits.

How the score is calculated?

The actual calculation of the score is based on sophisticated and advanced algorithm that takes into account multiple parameters.

To simplify the explanation, the calculation is based on three main criteria:

(1) Amount of protein (more is better)

(2) Amount of carbohydrates (less is better)

(3) Quality and source of ingredients.

Based on that 3 main criteria, 9 score calculation rules are used to compare the different foods.

One major assumption is that the closer an ingredient is to the top of the ingredient list, the greater its relative weight and contribution to the food.

In general, cat food is composed of protein, fats, carbohydrates, fibers, vitamins, and minerals.

Protein is the most important component in a cat’s diet, and cats primarily get their protein from animal meat.

Fat is a primary source of energy and essential fatty acids.

Carbohydrates are controversial in a cat’s diet, as cats are obligate carnivores and typically consume very few carbohydrates.

Fibers play an important role in digestion and food absorption, and vitamins and minerals are essential for different organism functions.

Dry matter values are used to compare the amount of nutrients in different cat foods.
This means that moisture is excluded from the equation to provide a more accurate comparison.

Putting all of these and more into a formula results in a product score.

The maximum score a cat food can receive is 100.
