Farmina N&D Ancestral Grain Chicken & Pomegranate Medium & Maxi Puppy Dry Dog Food

I have two dogs, a 16 month old Aussie mix, and a 4 month old golden retriever. I wanted to love this so much. The ingredients are great and my dogs loved the taste, but it just made their stool awful! My older dog has always had PERFECT poop. She can eat any food, ever, and have perfect poop. This is the first food that seemed to upset her stomach. Both of their poop turned greasy, black, and very soft. I took them both off of it, and their stools returned to normal.

I have a hard time keeping this food in my house. Every animal I have LOVES IT!!! My dogs, my cats, even the foster kittens. The animals beg for it. Everyone is in a wonderful healthy weight with shiny coats and happy bellies.

I've been using Farmina adult formula for several months. I decided to try the puppy version as some of my dogs could benefit from higher fat levels. The food smells horribly- I don't know if it's rancid or what, but it really put me off the Farmina brand entirely. Unfortunately I don't have the bag's code to check if the date was off or what the problem was. But I think I'll stay with other brands now.

I wanted this food to work so badly!! Sadly my 4 month old golden retriever could not adjust to this food. He had soft soft soft pancake batter stool for weeks and he had to get up multiple times in the night for bathroom breaks. We’re almost finished with the first bag and despite putting him on a rice and kibble diet who still has super super soft stool so we’ll be switching his food up. Wish this worked for our puppy as I love the ingredients!

I was really excited to try Farmina because of their ingredients and quality. My puppy loved the taste of it! However it didn’t love his stomach back. He’s had really loose stools since he started eating it. Switched him back to what his breeder weaned him on and he started to have regular stools again. Really disappointed as I wanted this food to work. :(

Our Australian Cattle Dog puppy was eating Merrick grain free for a few months, and we decided to try something new. Got this and he was very excited about eating again. We would alternate between this and Merrick (cus we had a bunch left over) and every time this hit the bowl, he went crazy for it. By comparison each time the Merrick was the meal, he was less excited.

Was too rich, stools runny, took over a week to straighten them out. Would not use for weaning. However, I use adult formula when competing my dogs, but not as a daily diet.

Our pup is 5 months old and he loves his food. Great ingredients (we did a lot of research). He never has an upset stomach and he is growing SO fast!

Although my puppy liked this food, it did not like him. Over halfway through the bag & he is still experiencing mushy stools that are impossible to scoop. I just received another brand of puppy food so hopefully we have better luck with it as it has lower fat content, higher fiber, & different protein.

For some reason our little puppy’s tummy could never settle into this new food. The adult food works wonders with our 8yr old so of course we were pumped to get the new puppy on board. However she just could never adjust and always had ~soft~ situations outside and she’s almost done with the bag... Unfortunately we’re going to have to switch to something else.
