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 Nutro Hearty Stew Tender Chicken
Owners who want visible, recognizable ingredients in a premium stew format
Nutro Hearty Stew stands out for its visual appeal — you can see real chicken chunks and vegetable pieces in the stew. No by-products, no corn/wheat/soy, clean ingredient list. The stew format is less calorie-dense than pate, so you may need more volume for larger dogs. A solid premium option with genuine ingredient quality.
Strengths
- Real chicken is the #1 ingredient with visible vegetable pieces in stew format
- No corn, wheat, soy, chicken by-product meal, or artificial preservatives
- Hearty stew texture with recognizable chunks that dogs find highly palatable
Limitations
- Owned by Mars (same parent as Pedigree) — corporate overlap may concern some
- Stew format has higher moisture content, meaning less caloric density per ounce
- Limited flavor variety compared to competitors with larger wet food lines
