When searching for Farmina N&D dog food, you will quickly come across terms such as grain-free, a high proportion of animal protein, pumpkin and quinoa. These descriptions can be useful, but they do not automatically tell you whether a recipe is suitable for your dog. Breed, life stage, weight, activity level and tolerance of certain ingredients matter more than a prominent claim on the packaging.
As a Joybuy Product Recommendation Officer, I filter the most important product information in a practical way. This means you can buy Farmina dog food based on verifiable features rather than marketing language alone.
Grain-free dog food contains no grains, but that does not mean every dog needs it or that all grain-free recipes are the same. Farmina N&D Pumpkin, for example, contains ingredients such as peas and chickpeas. Other recipes contain sweet potato or quinoa. Always check the full composition rather than just the front of the bag.
A claim such as “96% protein of animal origin” refers to the proportion of the protein, not necessarily to 96% meat in the total product. According to Farmina’s product description, this is a nutritional claim made by the brand for several Pumpkin recipes. Also check the ingredients list: the lamb variant includes fresh lamb, dehydrated lamb and herring, among other ingredients.
A 12 kg bag may seem economical, but it is not practical for every dog. The recommended amount depends on body weight, activity level and individual metabolism. A small dog may also take a long time to finish a large bag, making proper sealing and dry storage especially important. So do not compare only the price per bag: consider the weight, daily portion and shelf life after opening too.
First choose between puppy food, adult dog food and a recipe suitable for all life stages. The reference products in this guide are intended for:
Kibble size and nutritional composition may vary by size category. A recipe for adult dogs is not automatically the right choice for a puppy.
Choose the protein source based on what your dog is used to and tolerates well. The range includes dog food with lamb, chicken, duck, fish, cod, salmon and wild boar, among other options. If your dog has a known food reaction, do not look only at the flavour name; check the full ingredients list. For example, Pumpkin Lamb Adult Medi/Maxi contains herring, chicken fat and fish oil as well as lamb.
The table of analytical constituents provides more useful information than general terms such as “premium dog food”. For example, look at:
A higher protein or fat percentage is not automatically suitable for every dog. Use the feeding guidelines on the packaging as a starting point and adjust the portion according to body condition and activity level.
Why it suits this profile: A clear starting point for owners of adult medium or large dogs looking for a grain-free recipe with lamb and pumpkin.
The ingredients list names fresh and dehydrated lamb, herring, pumpkin, peas and chickpeas. This allows you to compare the marketing description with the actual composition.
Complete food for adult medium and large dogs; 12 kg; grain-free recipe with lamb and pumpkin according to the product description.
Why it suits this profile: For owners of adult medium and large dogs who are considering a recipe with fish as the main source of animal protein.
The composition specifies 20% salmon, 20% dehydrated salmon, 10% cod and 10% dehydrated cod. This makes the protein sources easy to verify.
The product information lists 30% crude protein, 18% fat and 2.3% omega 3, with herring oil as an ingredient.
Why it suits this profile: Designed for owners of small adult dogs who want to compare a smaller pack and a recipe containing lamb, quinoa and rice.
The product information clearly states the target group: adult dogs of small breeds. Also check the ingredients included if you are specifically looking for a completely grain-free recipe.
2.5 kg pack; 25% crude protein and 12% fat according to the analytical data; with inulin and fructooligosaccharides in the composition.
Why it suits this profile: For puppies of medium and large breeds when a complete recipe for the growth stage is required.
The product name and legally required product description distinguish this variant from dog food for adult dogs. The packaging provides the daily portion for each body weight.
Complete food for puppies of medium and large breeds; with lamb, herring, pumpkin, peas and chickpeas according to the stated composition.
We have compiled a complete, up-to-date list of products that fully meet these strict selection criteria and the applicable European safety regulations.
Mix new food gradually with the old food, usually over around seven days. Start with a small amount of the new recipe and increase it step by step. Monitor your dog’s stools, appetite, weight and body condition. Always provide fresh drinking water and store the bag in a cool, dry place, properly sealed.
If symptoms persist, your dog has an allergy or medical condition, or you are unsure about food for a puppy, it is sensible to consult a vet. Brand claims, such as support for the skin, coat, joints or digestion, are not a substitute for professional nutritional advice.
The products mentioned are described in the product information as complete and balanced dog food for the stated target group. Always check the legally required product name and life stage on the packaging. A puppy recipe and an adult recipe are not automatically interchangeable.
Start by checking the full composition rather than choosing solely based on the words “grain-free” or “digestion”. According to the product description, Quinoa Digestion Adult Mini is offered for small adult dogs and contains lamb, quinoa, rice, inulin and fructooligosaccharides, among other ingredients. Introduce new food gradually and ask a vet for advice if symptoms keep returning.
This depends on your dog’s weight and daily portion. A 12 kg bag will be used up more quickly by a large dog than by a small one. Calculate the recommended number of grams per day before choosing a pack size, and seal the bag properly after every use.
