Farmina dog food is available in several ranges, protein sources and formats. This makes comparing products useful, but also difficult. A bag featuring terms such as “grain-free”, “natural” or “high animal protein” is not automatically suitable for every dog. The right choice depends on age, size, activity level, intolerances and the food’s composition.
Pay particular attention to three common pitfalls:
First choose between puppy, adult dog or senior. Farmina puppy food is intended for growth and has a different nutritional composition from adult dog food. For older dogs, a formula with an adjusted energy content may be more practical, depending on their weight and activity level.
Also check the target group on the packaging:
Farmina dry dog food includes ingredients such as chicken, lamb, cod, herring, quail and eggs. Ideally, choose a formula whose main protein source suits what your dog tolerates well. For example, a lamb recipe is not suitable if your dog reacts to lamb.
Also check the carbohydrate source. Some Farmina dog foods contain potato, sweet potato or peas; the N&D Ancestral Grain formula contains spelt and oats, among other ingredients. This is therefore not grain-free dog food, but it may be of interest if you do not want to avoid grains and would prefer a formula without pulses.
Compare crude protein, fat, fibre, ash and moisture for each product. A higher protein percentage is not automatically the right choice: a sedentary dog may have different energy needs from an active working dog.
Use the feeding table on the packaging as a starting point and adjust the portion according to body condition, exercise and any treats. Always provide fresh drinking water. When changing food, a gradual transition over around seven to ten days is advisable to reduce the risk of digestive problems.
Why it suits this profile: A manageable size for anyone trying Farmina dog food for the first time with a small adult dog.
The product information clearly states that this is complete food for adult small breeds. However, check that chicken and pulses suit your dog.
2.5 kg, chicken and herring listed as ingredients, with pumpkin and a grain-free composition according to the product description.
Why it suits this profile: A large pack for adult medium and large dogs, with lamb as the first listed ingredient.
The name makes it clear that the food contains grains: spelt and oats are included in the composition. This helps prevent you from accidentally ordering grain-free dog food.
12 kg, at least 28% crude protein and 18% fat according to the product details; contains spelt, oats and lamb, with added glucosamine and chondroitin sulphate.
Why it suits this profile: Designed for puppies of medium and large breeds that need a fish-based formula.
The product name and composition identify cod as the main source and pumpkin as an ingredient. If your dog has a fish intolerance, still check the full label.

Why it suits this profile: A limited-ingredient formula with hydrolysed fish protein and rice starch, for use in consultation with a vet.
According to the product information, the formula contains one named protein source and one carbohydrate source. Do not use it independently as a diagnosis or treatment.

No. The right choice depends on age, body weight, activity level and how well your dog tolerates the ingredients. Check that the product is complete food and choose the variant suitable for the correct breed size and life stage.
No. Grain-free Farmina dog food can contain other potential triggers, such as chicken, egg, fish, peas or chickpeas. If symptoms recur or you suspect an intolerance, it is advisable to consult a vet.
Gradually mix the new food with the old food. For example, start with around 25% new food and increase this in stages over seven to ten days. Monitor your dog’s stools, appetite and body condition, and adjust the portion according to the packaging.
