Open Farm, RawMix Dry Cat Food, Protein-Packed Kibble Coated in Bone Broth with Freeze Dried Raw Chunks, Formulated for Kittens, Chicken with Turkey & Wild-Caugh Salmon Recipe for Kittens, 2.25lb Bag

The ingredients in this kibble are really clean, my cat love the taste of it and it helped him with this gut. My cat suffers from gastrointestinal issues and this kibble has been the only one that doesn’t give him diarrhea. The nutrition value is also good, it comes with direction for weight loss or weight gain, and the size of the kibble is perfect for cats over at least 6 months.

I free-feed Blue Buffalo kibble and have had very good results with it. My last four cats lived to be in their mid-to-late twenties and had few health problems until near the end.I also feed them wet food since that's very important, but that's another review.However, occasionally, I'll mix another premium kibble with the Blue Buffalo, just for a change of pace. Most often, they don't appear to notice that another type of food has been mixed in with their usual regimen since they're okay with eating Blue.However, they definitely noticed the Open Farm Rawmix Open Prairie Recipe.I have two cats, Ella and Bubba. Ella is about 11.5 years old, and Bubba is just over 2 years old.Since I free-feed kibble, they don't tend to get excited about it. It's always there, and they will eat when they are hungry.With the Open Farm kibble, they both showed an interest. They did tend to pick out the lighter kibble, which is the Freeze-Dried Raw Chunks, I believe, to be eaten first, so there was a definite preference for those, but they liked all of it.I'm pretty picky about the foods that I give to my cats. The first ingredient should be meat, fish, or fowl, and there should be no soy, corn, wheat, gluten, or unnamed byproducts.Open Farm easily meets that standard. Generally, about 80% of cat food's ingredients are found in the first four ingredients, which is not to suggest that the rest is unimportant. The first eight ingredients in Open Farm's Open Prairie Recipe are Chicken, Turkey, Menhaden Fish Meal, Peas, Chickpeas, Ocean Whitefish Meal, Herring Meal, and Lentils, and I don't see anything scary in the rest of the list. It all looks like pretty good stuff.Open Farm's ingredients are humanely raised and sustainably sourced, which I don't really care about but don't object to. More significantly, there are no added antibiotics and hormones, the fruits are non-GMO, and they are 100% traceable. Plus, it includes freeze-dried raw ingredients rather than overcooked stuff, which sounds like a good idea. While I won't pretend to know what all of that means, in practice, I approve of it.I will buy this again to mix with the Blue Buffalo kibble, which has worked well as a staple. From what I can see, this would probably be a good choice as a staple.

Update: my kitties is now 9 mths old and this is the only dry food she likes. It is a little pricey but so worth it for healthy furbabies.My kitty loves this food. My kitty is 7 mths old and I found this when kitten chow was not working for her belly. It costs a little more but worth it.

My cat likes it! It appears to be a healthier alternative to most kibble sold. I like the bag. It is easy to open and close (to keep product fresh). As noted, my cat likes it (loves it).

Previously I’ve only purchased the 2# bags of Open Farms RawMix Prairie and the last 3 bags i ordered from the Open Farm website. The current 8# bag I am reviewing I ordered from Amazon. The freeze dried raw bits are an off color and crumbly in this 8# bag unlike the firm white freeze dried bits in all the other bags of the same food. The manufacture date on the 8# bag is March 2024. This is my reason for giving 4 stars instead of 5.All the other RawMix Prairie I’ve ordered deserves 5 plus stars. My 12 year old cat loves it. About a year ago he would no longer eat the food he had been eating for years and lost too much weight and declined in health. During the year that followed I tried numerous brands of food which he either would not touch or which he threw up and otherwise couldn’t digest. All were grain free.He absolutely loves this RawMix. He has regained weight, digests it without problems and again appears to be a healthy cat with a shiny coat with a healthy appetite. It is a quality food that I am proud to feed my cat.

Emmy, my Kitty, was very excited about the food! She liked it right from the first bite! I read the ingredients list to her, she was very impressed!As for me....I am just glad the "Farm was open"...the day I was looking for very nutritious and tasty food!

I purchased this Food with hopes of supporting USA business,and in hopes my Furrbaby would like it.... She spit out a lit of the pieces, as she would eat, although she liked the Soft " raw " pieces. ..since she loves those ( Instinct brand,tge " Mixers " , she's been getting those since she was a kitten, about5-6 months old)The one thing I did not care for was the " smell " of this Food. I was pleased that it has turkey, buf it also had Chicken....She has developed an aversion to Chicken, and many cats / dogs, etc are actually Allergic to Chicken. She can no longer eat Chicken, or the chix meal, etc.Why Food Manufacturers cannot make a Food with just Turkey is beyond me . ...I most likely will not re- purchase this Product,...it does not last long, even with only 1/4 to 1/ 3 cup per day .( she gets Wet Food ,as well ). ..As WELL AS the SIZE of the kibbke, is too large..I truly had hoped this Product would be one I could re- purchase, unfortunately, it is a " No ".

This is quality cat food. Not the ultraprocessed junk food people feed their cats. It costs more but I love my little muffin and want to give her the best. I think you'll be hard pressed to find a better dry cat food, though for this price point I'd be happier if it was certified organic. I've recently transitioned my cat to a fully raw food diet for the wet stuff and cat is thriving. Really makes a difference.
