When to Choose Open Farm Harvest Chicken Rustic Stew
Ethically motivated owners who want full supply chain transparency in wet food
Open Farm Rustic Stew brings the same radical transparency to wet food as their dry line — every ingredient traceable, Certified Humane, zero recalls ever. The tetra pak format is unique and environmentally preferable to cans. The stew texture with visible ingredients feels genuinely premium. A top choice for values-driven pet owners.
Strengths
- Industry-leading transparency — every ingredient source is traceable online
- Certified Humane raised and handled with third-party verification
- Zero recalls ever — perfect safety record since founding
Limitations
- Ultra-premium pricing at ~$11/day limits accessibility for daily feeding
- Tetra pak format may be less familiar than traditional cans
- Stew format has higher moisture content, reducing caloric density
When to Choose Blue Buffalo Homestyle Recipe Chicken Dinner
Mainstream owners who want identifiable ingredients and a homestyle formulation
Blue Buffalo Homestyle Recipe brings the same philosophy as their dry food — real meat first, no by-products, and recognizable ingredients like carrots and peas. The homestyle chunk-in-gravy format feels more like real food. At ~$7/day, it costs a bit more than other mid-range options but delivers better ingredient quality.
Strengths
- Real chicken is the #1 ingredient with no poultry by-products
- Includes garden vegetables (carrots, peas, potatoes) for a homestyle recipe feel
- Clean safety record with no wet food recalls in 5+ years
Limitations
- Higher price than comparable mid-range competitors at ~$7/day
- Some ingredient names remain vague (e.g., "natural flavor")
- Chunk-in-gravy texture can be inconsistent between batches
