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

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!

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 tried so many different brands of kibble but my dog never liked them, she’d leave her food sitting there for hours before finally giving in and eating. I did a ton of research on other kibble brands and decided to try this one; she’s been eating it for 6 weeks and she LOVES it! She can’t get enough, she goes crazy for it. I’m so thrilled! I have a 50 pound female pit bull.

After trying about 8 different kinds dog food for my super picky baby we finally found one that she likes and I feel good about feeding. Definitely recommend for any dog owners that have picky dogs to try. And I LOVE the fact it’s not grain free. It is a little on the pricey side but they are worth it!

We are still working on switching over to this food and taking it supper slow, but so far we are both loving it! I love it because it has great ingredients, is grain inclusive, and it seems to be agreeing with my pups tummy, he has had sensitivity to a number of different foods in the past. And my pup loves the taste.

This is one of the best kibbles on the market! I recommend Farmina to everyone looking to feed their dog a healthier dry food. It is easily digestible and has high quality ingredients.

I have done a lot of research on the best food without going raw. This food isn’t made with high heat(cancer reducer), Italy bans gmo and round up so you don’t have to worry about that, and the ingredients at this price are tops. I’ve Never heard of a recall at Farmina either. My fur babies farts Are definitely smellier but the nutrition is so worth. They might have diarrhea getting used to it at first but we stayed the course and my babies are both good now. Highly recommend!

My 6 y/o GSD has been the pickiest eater from day 1. We have probably tried every brand you could name in dog food and we’ve never been able to keep any weight on her until now. This is the only food we’ve EVER seen her ask for more for. We started with the chicken flavor and moved to Lamb. She seems to like the lamb the most (same with my husky mix). I will say she was on a grain-free diet her whole life until now and she is shedding a lot more and her fur is more dull but she is eating, has a ton of energy, and is eating a low grain-inclusive food and that was our goal.

My 4 Berners have eaten a variety of good foods, from Acana to Fromm to Sport. Three of the 4 have always been good eaters but when they started looking dubiously at their meals, even with some Primal added in, I felt it was time to find something else. It’s hard to find a food where the first ingredient is real meat (instead of meat meal) and has no legumes or peas. Farmina fits the bill. From their first bite, the dogs loved it. Adored it actually. Even the pickiest of them never leaves an atom of Farmina behind. So while we are only on the second bag, so far I’m thrilled...even if they start acting like alarm clocks to get me up earlier than necessary so they can have breakfast!
