Anyone looking to buy Farmina dog food will soon find a wide range of options: grain-free recipes with fish or lamb, food for small dogs, and dry food for medium-sized and large breeds. There are also specialist ranges such as Farmina N&D and Farmina Vet Life. This broad choice is useful, but it can also lead to the wrong purchase.
A recipe described as “natural”, “premium” or “rich in animal protein” is not automatically suitable for every dog. First consider your dog’s life stage, size, ingredients and any specific nutritional needs.
Grain-free dog food contains no grains, but that says nothing about the other ingredients. For example, a recipe may still contain several animal protein sources, pulses or chicken fat. If you suspect your dog has a food intolerance, do not just look for the words “grain-free”; check the full ingredient list.
A 10 or 12 kg bag may seem good value, but it is not always practical for a small dog. An opened bag must be kept tightly sealed and stored in a dry place. For a small dog, it can take a long time to finish the food, which may affect its taste and aroma. Also check that the kibble size is suitable for your dog’s jaw.
Farmina Vet Life dog food is intended for specific nutritional situations, such as kidney problems, oxalate stones or reducing ingredient and nutrient intolerances. According to Farmina’s product information, veterinary advice is recommended for these formulas. Therefore, do not use a kidney diet for dogs or an oxalate formula on your own initiative as general daily food.
First check the legally required product name on the packaging. Farmina offers, among other options:
An adult dog has different nutritional needs from a puppy. Also consider your dog’s weight and activity level. The recommended daily amount on the packaging is a starting point; body condition and exercise determine whether adjustments are needed.
Ideally, choose a recipe whose main protein source is clearly identifiable. Dog food with fish, for example, may list salmon, cod, herring or sea bass. Dog food with lamb may contain fresh and dried lamb proteins.
Pay attention to the difference between:
These percentages do not mean the same thing. According to the available product information, Farmina N&D Ocean Salmon Adult Medi/Maxi, for example, contains salmon, dried salmon, cod and dried cod in separately stated percentages. This is easier to verify than a general description such as “with fish”.
The table showing crude protein, crude fat, crude fibre, crude ash and moisture helps you compare recipes. However, these values alone do not indicate which variety is suitable for your dog. An active dog may have different energy needs from a calm dog.
With specialist food, additional minerals and nutrients are relevant. According to the product description, Vet Life Kidney Formula is offered as a complete formula to support kidney function in cases of renal failure. If your dog already has health problems, the choice should be made together with a vet, who can take the diagnosis, blood results and current diet into account.

2 kg; one listed protein source; 18% crude protein and 15% crude fat according to the product details.
When introducing new Farmina dog food, switch over gradually over approximately seven days. A practical schedule is:
Always follow the feeding guide on the packaging. Provide fresh drinking water and store the bag in a cool, dry place. Seal the packaging securely after every use.
We have put together a complete, up-to-date list of products that fully meet these strict selection criteria and the applicable European safety regulations.
That depends on the cause and your dog’s response. A recipe with lamb, fish or a limited ingredient list may be a practical option to compare, but it is not a guarantee. If stomach or skin problems persist, it is advisable to consult a vet.
Look for the Mini designation, the bag size and the daily feeding amount. According to the product information, Farmina N&D Ocean Salmon Adult Mini is intended as complete food for adult dogs of small breeds.
For a veterinary formula, such as a kidney diet for dogs, an oxalate formula or hypoallergenic dog food for dogs with a suspected intolerance, veterinary advice is recommended. The right choice depends on the diagnosis and the dog’s overall diet.
