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 Purina Pro Plan Complete Essentials Classic Pate
Owners who trust veterinary-backed formulation and want science-driven nutrition
Purina Pro Plan Complete Essentials wet food mirrors its dry food sibling — excellent nutritional science, strong palatability, but with by-products and unnamed ingredients in the mix. The veterinary backing and feeding trial data give it credibility. The 2022-2023 recalls on other Purina lines are a trust factor to weigh.
Strengths
- Veterinarian-recommended brand backed by extensive feeding trial research
- Excellent nutritional profile with precise vitamin/mineral balance
- Smooth pate texture with consistently high palatability ratings
Limitations
- Contains poultry by-product meal and unnamed protein sources
- Dec 2022/Feb 2023 recalls of veterinary diet lines affect brand trust
- At ~$7/day, premium pricing for ingredient quality that trails dedicated premium brands
