Compare Open Farm's RawMix Open Prairie cat kibble with Farmstead Duck dog kibble: protein sources, nutrition, and which pet benefits most.
Quick answer
RawMix Open Prairie grain-free cat kibble is best for cats who love a freeze-dried raw coating and bone broth, while Farmstead Duck grain-free dog kibble suits dogs with allergies or sensitivities, especially small and medium breeds.
Protein source and recipe focus
RawMix Open Prairie uses a blend of 100% animal welfare certified chicken and turkey, with freeze-dried raw chunks and a bone broth coating. This recipe is grain-free and includes nutrient-dense meat, organ, and bone, making it a high-protein option for cats.
Farmstead Duck features humanely-raised duck as the primary protein, plus non-GMO fruits, veggies, and superfoods like pumpkin and sweet potatoes. It's formulated for dogs with allergies or sensitivities, offering a novel protein source that's less likely to trigger reactions.
Nutritional differences and life stages
RawMix Open Prairie is suitable for all kittens, adult, and senior cats, providing complete and balanced nutrition with added freeze-dried raw for extra palatability.
Farmstead Duck is designed for dogs of all life stages, including small and medium breed puppies, adults, and seniors. It's grain-free and packed with superfoods to support overall health.
Trade-offs to consider
- Protein variety: RawMix Open Prairie uses chicken and turkey; Farmstead Duck uses duck. If your cat has poultry sensitivities, duck is not an option here, but Farmstead Duck is only for dogs. Consider your pet's protein tolerance before choosing.
- Texture and coating: RawMix Open Prairie has a freeze-dried raw coating and bone broth that cats may love, but it adds calories and may not suit dogs who need a simpler kibble.
- Life stage suitability: Both formulas are for all life stages, but Farmstead Duck explicitly supports small and medium breed puppies, while RawMix Open Prairie is suitable for all kittens, adult, and senior cats. Check your pet's breed size and age for the best fit.
