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

Our 2 labs were on a grain free diet, our vet suggested we move them to a diet with grain. Our guy already had a touchy tummy notorious for soft stools but our girl always had good solid stools. Since switching to a grain diet both have had horrible stools even watery at times. They have also been itchy as of late and think it’s the food as well. A friend swears by Farmina and after reading the ingredient list, we had to try. I’ll follow up in a week or two to let you know how it’s working out for them. So far so good, they wanted to rip the bag open upon delivery and were eating out of the bag before I could pour it in the dog food container!

Our dog who is usually very picky loves this kibble. Usually we feed frozen raw, but I was looking for a good quality kibble to use with pet tutor. These are great, however the size is too big. There is a mini kibble available for the same recipe but chewy doesn't sell the small size pack for it :(

Like most of us who feed dry food, I am freaking out over the DCM connection to grain free foods. I know there are other variables as well. I am reading ingredients through before I purchase any food. This food seems fine as far as that goes. Legumes are the enemy. My dogs are loving the food. Just wish they offered a beef version. Worth noting one of my dogs(3 years old) is having heart arrhythmia and quite a few for unknown reasons.

We recently started feeding this to our labs. They loved it, however it seems to have led to chronic ear infections. We are on round 2 of antibiotics for ear infections in both our labs that were on this food. We've had to switch to another brand and protein as a result. Seems to be decent quality food and our boys liked it but we can no longer purchase this since it led to multiple vet trips. They are slowly coming around now that they've been off this food for a few weeks.

This is the first food my frenchies actually eat right out of the bag! At first I was afraid the kibble was too large but my dogs seem to love crunching it.

My Standard Poodle just turned 1 year old, and we have been through a number of foods in that short time, even having him on prescription diet to deal with his soft poop/food sensitivities. Over time we've identified beef, chickpeas/peas/lentils, and wheat as several culprits to his soft stools. I found out about Farmina and loved the ingredient list...especially the high protein, low digestible grain, and NO PEAS!!! I did NOT want a grain-free food due to the research coming out on heart related diseases associated with that kind of diet. On Farmina, his stools now are smaller, more firm, and he's more regular...not to mention he loves this food! We have also added raw to his diet (different My Standard Poodle just turned 1 year old, and we have been through a number of foods in that short time, even having him on prescription diet to deal with his soft poop/food sensitivities.

This is a good food, however when I first started purchasing it when I opened the bag, the food smelled Wonderful! But after a few more purchases, sometime when I opened the new bag, it started to smell like manure... :( Not quite sure why this is happening? Sometimes good, sometimes that odd smell... And I believe this is what sometimes makes my dogs turn their noses up at it when it arrives with that odd smell. Overall, it seems like a decent food, especially when it smells good when you first open it, and not that manure smell.

Changed from Origen to farming due to vet advising to stop using grain free for our four beagles until more information is available. Dogs love the food can’t recommend it enough.

Been searching for a quality dog food with grains. I looked, researched, looked, researched , Looked reseachered.... for what seemed like a lifetime. Found Farmina, liked what I read about it, then showed the ingredient and guaranteed analysis part of the bag to my vet. She really liked it! It's made by Italians and I am Sicilian, so that makes me happy too! Great food, good price! Now we just need for my lab with allergies to sooo many things to be able to eat it. Will be back to let you know how it goes.

Yes, my dog food was on the FDA's "list". Yes, my dog had developed an enlarged heart and grade 2 heart murmur because of it. Read hundreds of ingredient lists and successfully chose/transitioned to Farmina's grain free then to the ancestral grain. My two allergic-to-everything pit bulls' reactions: NO MORE large/frequent poop piles, gas, bloated stomachs, body itch, eye mucus, paw licking, excessive panting, bad breath. I honestly couldn't believe it; so grateful to have found such a perfect formula amongst a sea of really bad dog food. If your pet has a small mouth, you can always break it down in a blender or in a bag/hammer. Give it try!
