Farmina N&D Ancestral Grain Lamb & Blueberry Medium & Maxi Adult Dry Dog Food

My oldest Great Dane is about to be 8. He’s struggled with allergies his whole life- has been on several medications and I don’t know how many foods we’ve gone through. He had been doing alright on another food, but then the study regarding potatoes, peas, lentils came out associating those ingredients with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) came out, so I decided to change. This is one of the only foods that didn’t have a protein meal as the first ingredient (it’s actual lamb meat), didn’t have the above mentioned ingredients and has a small amount of taurine in it- everything that he needs. He had no problem with the change and the redness on his stomach and paws has nearly cleared up- he also really My oldest Great Dane is about to be 8.

Read and heard lots of great things about this food. My Frenchie won't go near it. Nothing against the brand. My picky eater is just too much. Bought this one and a fish one. She kinda liked the lamb but after 3rd day when I started to mix more in she just didn't eat. Back to square 1.

My dog prefers a large kibble size, which this has. I love the ingredients. My dog is actually on a raw diet, but I keep kibble on hand as a supplement for days when she burns a lot of calories. She is a hunting dog and I take her on long off leash runs for conditioning and she comes back very hungry, so on those days I give her a little kibble after her normal food. She’s never been an enthusiastic eater when it comes to kibble, but she loves this, even licks the bowl after. I even use this for her treat ball and she goes nuts for it. Maybe it’s because it’s new to her, but for right now, she is loving it!

We switched our 3 yo lab to this when we brought home an 8 week old GSD puppy that was already on this in the puppy formula. Our lab has always had trouble with allergies and he's been on several expensive dog foods, but the vet still says he needs to take steroids when he flairs up. The steroids make him agitated and he has accidents, and then he gets depressed. We are still on the second week of the switch over, so he is still getting 1 1/2 cups of the old food mixed with 2 cups of this and we have already noticed a huge difference in his skin. He isn't scratching and he hasn't had any gastro problems with the switchover so far.

So far, so good! My vet recommended switching my 6 y/o German shepherd to purina after he had very dry skin and loose stools from being on Merrick for a few years. Thank god I did my own research before blindly listening to my vet. I now feed my pup a mix of raw (Steve’s real food) and Farmina dry topped with a spoonful of farmina canned. He absolutely loves it! Not to be too gross, but he used to have giant poops 2-3 times a day, and now, he’ll have one small one a day. I’ve read that this means he’s taking in more of the nutrients from the food. I switched my 7 month old puppy as well, and they’re both doing great! I’ve noticed a softer and healthier coat and far more energy in my older boy So far, so good!

I have one German Shepherd who will eat anything if I let her but she has a chicken allergy and it's very hard to find food without chicken. My other Shepherd is super picky (she chooses this over raw). Both of them love this food!

After careful review we decided to switch to Farmina from another brand. My dogs, 2 adult NSDTRs, do well enough on the Chicken & Pomegranate blend. But my eldest, a 10-year old male, can't keep this down. We've tried this mix twice, and both times he's thrown up his food two days in a row, and then refused it afterwards. The kibble size is also quite large - Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retrievers are about 50 pounds (think Border Collie), and while they can eat this size kibble, we prefer the smaller size kibbles. I like to feed a variety of flavors, and unfortunately we'll have to leave Farmina behind. Our review is a personal experience, and may not be what you encounter with your dogs!

I have a pregnant female and was looking to change her food. This was one of the options i found locally but in extremely limited supply. Great ingredients, the dogs like it. We will be rotating proteins with next bag.

Chew takes pride in there service and products My dog just loves this product . It is a high quality dog food

My 2 yr old 30lb mini-pinscher mix wouldn't eat this, even with wet food mix - he has a small mouth and teeth, and the kibble is quite hard and also fairly large size. Trying something else.
