Buying a new bag of dog food sounds simple—until you have to choose between lamb, fish, chicken, grain-free, puppy, mini or maxi. With Farmina N&D dog food, recipes differ not only in flavour, but also in life stage, breed size, protein source, kibble size and composition.
As a Joybuy Product Recommendation Officer, I filter the most important product information for you. This allows you to compare Farmina dog food based on verifiable details and avoid relying solely on prominent claims on the packaging.
Grain-free dog food contains no grains, but that alone does not determine whether a recipe is suitable for your dog. Ingredients such as peas, chickpeas, potatoes or sweet potatoes may be used instead of grains. Always check the complete ingredients list and the analytical constituents.
A grain-free recipe may be worth considering if you deliberately want to avoid grains, but it is not a universal solution for every dog with sensitivities. If symptoms such as vomiting, diarrhoea or itching persist, consulting a vet is wiser than repeatedly changing your dog’s food.
According to the product descriptions, several Farmina N&D products state that 96% of their protein is of animal origin. This is a claim taken from the brand’s product information. It does not mean that 96% of the total product consists of meat.
Therefore, check the individual ingredients. For example, Farmina N&D Pumpkin Lamb Adult Medi/Maxi lists fresh lamb, dehydrated lamb and herring. For the 2.5 kg variant, lamb is listed at 22% and dehydrated lamb at 20%. These percentages are more specific than a general claim on the front of the packaging.
A 12 kg bag may appear cost-effective, but it is not always the right choice for a small dog or for a dog that has never eaten the recipe before. For small breeds, an 800 g or 2 kg pack is a practical way to try the food first. Once opened, the bag should be sealed properly and stored in a dry place.
Puppy food has a different nutritional purpose from adult dog food. Check the packaging to confirm whether the product is intended for puppies, adult dogs, senior dogs or multiple life stages.
Also pay attention to breed size:
Farmina N&D is available with ingredients including lamb, cod, sea bass, chicken and venison. Lamb-based dog food may suit dogs that tolerate lamb well and benefit from a protein source other than chicken. Fish-based dog food, such as cod or sea bass recipes, also contains fish oil.
Bear in mind that a recipe often contains several animal-based ingredients. For example, Farmina N&D Pumpkin Lamb recipes also list herring and chicken fat alongside lamb. If you are looking for a strict single-protein diet, read the label particularly carefully.
At a minimum, compare:
These values show how recipes differ, but they do not independently predict how your dog will respond to them. Follow the feeding table on the packaging, adjust the portion to your dog’s activity level and always provide fresh drinking water.
Why it fits: A small pack for owners of small adult dogs who want to start with a limited quantity.
There is no need to buy a large bag before you know whether your dog accepts the flavour and kibble size.
For small adult breeds; the composition lists lamb, herring, pumpkin, peas and chickpeas.
Why it fits: For owners of small adult dogs looking for a fish-based recipe with cod and pumpkin.
The fish source is clearly stated in the composition: cod and dehydrated cod protein are listed near the beginning.
The product description lists 25% cod and 25% dehydrated cod protein, plus 5% dried pumpkin.
Why it fits: Designed for medium- and large-breed puppies, with a pack size suited to daily use.
You choose a puppy recipe rather than adult dog food and use the separate feeding table for each weight category.
The product information lists lamb, herring, pumpkin, peas and chickpeas; a seven-day transition is recommended.
Why it fits: For small adult dogs whose owners are specifically looking for food suitable for sensitive digestion.
The ingredients list is clearly visible: alongside lamb, the recipe includes quinoa, rice, sweet potato, and pork and herring ingredients.
The product description mentions inulin, fructo-oligosaccharides, fennel, mint and artichoke; the recipe contains 25% crude protein and 12% fat.
Mix the new food gradually into the old food. A practical approach is to slowly increase the proportion of Farmina N&D over seven to ten days. Monitor your dog’s stools, appetite and body condition. Use the feeding table on the bag as a starting point, but adjust the amount if your dog is less or more active.
Store the bag in a cool, dry place, seal it securely after use and check the best-before date. Once opened, it is best to choose a pack size that can be used within a reasonable period.
Explore a current selection of dog food with meat and vegetables, and compare the composition, size and intended use before placing your order.
Not automatically. Choose based on age, breed size, activity level, protein source and any sensitivities. Also check the current packaging, as compositions and feeding tables differ between variants.
That depends on your dog’s weight and the recommended daily portion. A 12 kg bag will generally last longer for a medium- or large-sized dog than for a highly active dog, but always calculate consumption using the feeding table on the packaging.
Not necessarily. Grain-free is just one characteristic of a recipe. Also consider the complete ingredients list, fat content and your dog’s response. If gastrointestinal symptoms or other health problems recur, seek advice from a vet.
