Feeding one dog well is a manageable project. Feeding three dogs of different sizes, ages, and sensitivities — or a dog and a cat — well, without spending your whole Saturday on it, takes a bit more planning. Here's how to make it work with Open Farm's lineup.
Different Pets, Different Recipes
Open Farm's range makes it realistic to feed each pet what actually fits them, rather than compromising on one recipe for the whole household:
- A puppy on the Salmon & Ancient Grains Puppy recipe
- An adult dog with a sensitive stomach on Goodbowl
- A large, active dog on a higher-protein option like Epic Blend
- A cat on one of Open Farm's dry or wet cat recipes
Running multiple recipes at once does mean more to track, but it also means each pet is actually getting food suited to their life stage and needs.
Keeping Feedings Straight
A few practical tips for multi-pet households:
- Label storage containers by pet name and recipe, especially if you decant kibble into bins — bags can look similar once opened.
- Feed pets separately if portion control matters for any of them, so a food-motivated dog doesn't finish another pet's bowl.
- Keep a simple written feeding chart on the fridge if multiple household members handle feeding, so amounts stay consistent.
Managing Cost Across Multiple Pets
Feeding several pets premium food adds up faster than feeding one, which makes a few things worth prioritizing:
- Buy larger bag sizes where available for recipes you know your pets do well on — cost per pound generally improves at larger sizes.
- Set up auto-delivery for each pet's regular food. Beyond the convenience of not managing multiple reorder dates, it saves 6% on every subscription order across the board.
- Consolidate orders where you can to make it easier to hit the $75 free-shipping threshold on any freeze-dried items in the mix.
Simplifying Reorders
With multiple pets on different recipes, the biggest practical risk isn't cost — it's simply forgetting to reorder one pet's food while restocking another's. Auto-delivery removes that risk entirely by putting each pet's food on its own automatic schedule, so nobody runs out because you were focused on someone else's bag.
