Open Farm is best known for its dog food, but the brand makes a full cat food lineup too — and it's built on the same sourcing philosophy, not a scaled-down version of it. Here's what's available and how to think about it for your cat.
The Dry Food Lineup
Open Farm makes three grain-free dry cat food recipes: Pasture-Raised Lamb, Wild Salmon, and Homestead Turkey & Chicken. Each leads with a named, ethically sourced protein, skips grains, and avoids artificial preservatives and by-products — the same standard applied across Open Farm's dog food.
Two Styles of Wet Cat Food
Open Farm's wet cat food splits into two textures, similar to the dog line:
Pates — smooth and consistent, available in Harvest Chicken, Chicken & Salmon, and Salmon.
Morsels in Gravy — tender pieces in a savory gravy, available in Harvest Chicken, Turkey & Salmon, and Chicken & Grass-Fed Beef.
Why Wet Food Matters More for Cats Than Dogs
Cats have a lower natural thirst drive than dogs and, as descendants of desert-dwelling ancestors, get a meaningful portion of their hydration from food rather than drinking water directly. That makes wet food a bigger deal nutritionally for cats than it typically is for dogs — incorporating wet food, even as a partial rotation alongside dry, can meaningfully support a cat's hydration and urinary tract health.
Does the Ethical Sourcing Standard Really Carry Over?
Yes, based on what's stated in the product formulations — the cat line uses the same ethically sourced, named-protein approach as the dog food, without artificial preservatives, by-products, or corn, wheat, and soy fillers. It's not a separate, lower standard slapped onto a “cat” label; it's built on the same sourcing commitments the brand applies across its dog food.
Choosing Between Dry, Pate, and Morsels
- Dry food is the most economical and convenient for free-feeding, though it contributes less to hydration.
- Pates are smooth and easy for cats who prefer a simple, mashable texture, or for mixing with dry food.
- Morsels in gravy offer more texture variety and extra moisture from the gravy itself, which some cats find more enticing.
Many cat owners land on a mixed routine — dry food available throughout the day, with a wet meal once or twice daily for hydration and variety.
