Open Farm Wild-Caught Salmon Dry Dog Food vs First-Five Grain-Free Sky Recipe

Buy the Open Farm salmon kibble for a dog with chicken or poultry sensitivities, a puppy, or a dog that needs a fish-based skin-and-coat formula; it has 30% protein, 0.11% DHA, 1.2% calcium and taurine, and it is rated 4.9 from over 1,000 owners. Buy the First-Five Sky Recipe for a picky eater or a dog that does best on poultry; its first five ingredients are turkey, chicken, duck meal, turkey meal and chicken meal, plus pumpkin, prebiotics and probiotics for digestion. Both are grain-free and rated 4.9, but Open Farm's rating rests on far more reviews, while First-Five's rests on a smaller, newer base. Neither is a better build; they differ mainly in protein source and in how much of the formula is documented.

• Choose the Open Farm salmon kibble if your dog reacts to chicken or you want a fish-based, grain-free food with stated DHA, calcium and taurine levels for a puppy or adult.
• Choose the First-Five Sky Recipe if your dog is a picky eater that prefers poultry, or you want a meat-first grain-free formula with added probiotics and joint-heart nutrients like taurine and l-carnitine.
