We Feed Raw Vs Open Farm (2026): Which Dog Food Is Better?

Last Updated on April 23, 2026 by Kieran Beckles

Are you stuck between We Feed Raw and Open Farm? I tested both brands, and one of them transformed my picky dog.

I know firsthand how stressful it can be when you have a dog that refuses to eat their meals because they’re extremely finicky. I lived this with Skye for a long time.

My female Alaskan Klee Kai dog is extremely picky, and I spent years stressing out and trying to find pet food that she would consistently eat. We tried everything.

However, we finally found dog food that she’s obsessed over and consistently eats, about 18 months ago, and it’s transformed her quality of life and given us peace of mind.

In this article, I’ll share my verdict on We Feed Raw and Open Farm based on my experience ordering their food and testing it out on my Klee Kai.

We updated this review in April 2026 to reflect the latest pricing and recipes from Open Farm and We Feed Raw for their respective freeze-dried ranges. We also added a quick verdict and two comparison tables to help pet owners. As always, this article follows our dog food testing process to ensure accurate, honest, and experience-based recommendations.

We Feed Raw Vs Open Farm: Our Pick

Let’s get right down to business. Who do we recommend: We Feed Raw or Open Farm?

Well, it’s an easy choice for me because Copper and Skye were obsessed with We Feed Raw to a degree that I’ve never seen before with pet food.

Skye is extremely fussy, but she devoured her We Feed Raw meals twice daily without hesitation and showed excitement at mealtime every time I headed to the fridge.

From a dog owner’s perspective, I loved that We Feed Raw’s meals are stored in pouches. This made it easy to rip and serve without having to fuss around with figuring out portion size. We Feed Raw introduced peel-back pouches in January 2026.

Furthermore, We Feed Raw launched its freeze-dried range in 2025, giving pet owners the choice between two formats for their dogs. We love being able to add different textures to Copper and Skye’s food.

Open Farm offers freeze-dried raw dog food, but they don’t provide a custom scooper for portion control. I believe that would be a nice touch.

Ultimately, Skye and Copper had a mixed reaction to Open Farm, so we didn’t stick with the dog food brand. They have a great range of recipes and different pet food formats, but I was looking to eliminate Skye’s fussiness at mealtime.

There was a big price difference between these brands. When we retested these brands for this article in 2026, We Feed Raw cost me $280 for raw food and $202.50 for freeze-dried raw.

Open Farm didn’t offer a custom meal plan, but I worked out that I’d be paying nearly $250 a month to feed their food exclusively to my Klee Kai.

My recommendation is We Feed Raw, based on Skye’s transformation since we introduced their food to our fussy Klee Kai. She’s no longer picky, but obsessed with mealtime.

Who Are We Feed Raw?

We Feed Raw is one of the leading raw dog food brands in the USA, alongside other notable brands such as Stella & Chewy’s, Darwin’s Natural Pet Products, and Maev.

We came across We Feed Raw while researching another raw dog food company, and we decided to place an order to see if Copper and Skye would like their recipes.

We were impressed to discover that We Feed Raw sources many of its meats from free-range and grass-fed farms, and that over 85% of its food is meat.

We Feed Raw’s recipes are formulated by a PhD animal nutritionist, which stood out to me. I’ve reviewed over 30 dog food brands, and I’ve never encountered any formulated by a PhD animal nutritionist. Usually, brands just say “vet formulated”.

They offer five different protein sources: beef, chicken, duck, lamb, and turkey. This really appealed to us because we could vary Copper and Skye’s meals.

Once we completed their sign-up questionnaire, We Feed Raw recommended a daily portion size for each of our Klee Kai to meet their weight goals.

Since they stored their food in 8oz packaging and both needed 8oz a day, it made it really easy to split one pouch at each mealtime. Their freeze-dried raw food is shelf-stable. We use that as a topper, then simply reseal the bag and store it in the cupboard.

As I mentioned above, Skye showed an incredible appetite for We Feed Raw. It was unlike anything we’ve seen before! We’ve recommended it to other Klee Kai owners who’ve experienced similar success making the switch.

The biggest disadvantage to We Feed Raw is the price. It’s expensive!

We had to pay just over $280 per month for Copper and Skye’s raw meals. The freeze-dried food costs $202.50 per month.

Do you want to know more about the price?
We break down our We Feed Raw cost in this article.

We believe it’s worth the cost. Having seen Skye transform from a picky eater to an enthusiastic eater, we’ve also noticed improvements in digestion, regular bowel movements, and smaller stools.

We’ve also saved a significant amount of money on vet bills (usually at least $200 per visit).

Who Is Open Farm?

Open Farm Pet is one of the largest pet food brands in the US, with perhaps the most extensive range of any company we have reviewed. They offer a variety of pet food formats, but we will focus on their freeze-dried raw range for this comparison article.

Their freeze-dried raw food is comprised of sustainably sourced ingredients, so you can feel confident about what you’re feeding your dog. It’s human-grade and free from additives, fillers, and other unwanted substances.

Unlike We Feed Raw, Open Farm uses a different method to prepare its pet food. Their freeze-dried recipes have moisture removed, creating dry dog food that still retains the ingredients’ nutritional profile.

We compare Open Farm to Tally's Ranch in this article.

I must say Open Farm does have a good recipe range to match We Feed Raw: beef, chicken, lamb, pork, surf and turf, and turkey. So there’s lots of variety for a picky eater like Skye.

Open Farm offers a feeding calculator to help you determine how much food your dog needs at each mealtime. But you don’t get a custom meal plan like We Feed Raw.

Open Farm is cheaper than We Feed Raw’s frozen raw but more expensive than We Feed Raw’s freeze-dried raw.

You won’t get the same level of customization with Open Farm because they don’t offer bespoke meal plans. I’ve found their food to be hit-or-miss with my Alaskan Klee Kai dogs.

When I finally figured out how many bags I’d need for my Alaskan Klee Kai dogs, my cost was close to $250 a month. That’s a significant price difference compared to $202.50.
