As the Farmina Family, We Striving for a Healthy Life for Your Dog
One of the main features of our scientific studies conducted by FVR (Farmina Veterinary Research) is to provide the best nutritional solutions for all pets, whether they have health problems or not, by producing specializedproducts in collaboration with dozens of independent veterinary clinics operating in many European countries.
These studies involve animal welfare studies conducted with animals living with their own families, rather than in a laboratory, without any lifestyle changes other than diet. The functionality of the products is improved in this way, out of respect for pets.
We Carefully Select the Raw Ingredients for N D Dog Food
The meat and eggs we carefully select meet high quality standards and are obtained from certified farms. Our carefully selected ingredients, such as chicken, lamb, wild boar, and eggs, meet high quality standards and are obtained from certified farms.
The fish species in the Farmina formulationare herring and cod. These two species, sourced from the North Sea and not preferred for breeding, guarantee the high quality and low salt content of the raw materials. This formula also contains rich fish oils, making it recommended for dogs with sensitive skin and coat.
N D Dog Foods Are GMO-Free
The European Union has restricted the use of GMOs but allows them in very, very small amounts. As Farmina, we have adopted the precautionary principle and prefer not to use potentially GMO ingredients.
We intend to protect the health of pets in our production, and since the risks of GMOs are still unknown, we do not take risks. New toxins and allergens can alter antibiotic resistance and reduce nutritional value. Some studies have observed structural changes in the ileums of pets fed GMO foods, altered cell proliferation in the gastric mucosa and intestinal tract, and abnormal gene expression, functional changes in hepatocytes, dysregulation of zymogen synthesis, increased triglyceride levels, liver hypertrophy, renal dysfunction, and hepatorenal toxicity.
GMOs are not limited to animal nutrition they also include environmental changes (such as reduced biodiversity, the spread of pesticide residues in plants, and the promotion of the evolution of more resistant parasites) and factors that disrupt and negatively impact the ecosystem. For all these reasons, we strive to provide the healthiest and highest quality life for our four-legged friends without damaging the ecosystem we live in together. Because we believe this is the key to happiness.

We prioritize a low glycemic index in N D dog foods.
The natural diet of dogs has evolved to meet all their energy needs from animal protein and fat, virtually carbohydrate-free. Commercially produced dog foods all contain carbohydrates ranging from to , which actually represent unwanted calories.
Carbohydrates in traditional grains used in dog foods provide high energy, such as glucose, which peaks the post-meal glycemic response. In these cases, the postprandial insulin response to glucose and the modulating ability of carbohydrates in various ways are particularly critical.
What is Glycemic?
The glycemic index (GI) is a scale of 1-100. The lower the score, the slower it raises a dog's blood sugar level.
We Use Quality Carbohydrates in N D Dog Food
In the production of N D dog food, we use only premium, non-genetically modified wheat, oats, potatoes, and rice. These are fresh raw materials processed using cutting-edge technology that guarantees excellent digestibility. Thanks to its double-screw extrusion technology, it ensures even mixing of raw materials and even cooking by distributing heat evenly, thus increasing digestibility.
The use of primitive grains such as dehulled wheat and oats supports better energy levels throughout the day. Some foods and diets may require carbohydrates, in which case we use potatoes and rice as carbohydrate sources. These carbohydrate sources guarantee an energy boost.
It is classified in the categorization according to the grain content.
We Use Natural Oils in N D Dog Food
Fats are the most important energy source for carnivores, while essential amino acids also determine the flavor of the product. Farmina particularly prefers chicken and fish oils when choosing oils for its products.
Among the vegetable oils, flaxseed oil is rich in linolenoic acid, an essential fatty acid for dogs.
Chicken oil, sourced from Italian breeders, contains higher-quality polysaturated fats than pork and beef fats. Chicken oil is also delicious for pets. Fish oil is rich in Omega-3, an animal fat, and EPA and DHA, which have anti-inflammatory properties. Polyunsaturated fats, on the other hand, have significant effects on skin and coat health and have an anti-aging effect.
This product, which contains all the nutrients needed for adult dogs, is listed in the category based on ingredient quality and customer satisfaction.

N D Dog Food Gets Its Vitamin Supplements from Fresh Fruits
Vitamins are essential nutrients for proper nutrition. Vitamins play a crucial role in biological reactions. Vitamin deficiencies can sometimes present specific and obvious symptoms, while in others, they can be subtle or merely accompanied by weakness. Therefore, to ensure the proper maintenance of all vital functions, appropriate daily intake is essential.
The vitamin amounts in Farmina products have been determined and developed to be physiologically and pathologically appropriate for pets. Thanks to the vacuum system used in Farmina's production, the vitamins are added after cooking, protecting them from mechanical and thermal stress. This makes the vitamins longer-lasting and more stable.
Organoleptic Additives
Aloe vera extract 1000mg green tea extract 100mg Rosemary extract.
We Use Natural Fibers for Nutritional Balance in N D Dog Foods
Consuming the right amount of fiber in a balanced diet plays an important role in regulating bowel movements and also affects the absorption of various nutrients. The main sources of fiber in Farmina products are beet pulp, pea fiber, pure cellulose, and dried alfalfa. Used by the Italians Beet pulp supports bowel movements and ensures regular stool consistency.
Used in some dietary formulas,pure celluloseis the main source of insoluble fiber. It is a key factor for intestinal peristalsis and is particularly used in treatments requiring reduced calorie intake.
Highly soluble,pea fiberforms a bulk that slows intestinal transit and facilitates the absorption of micronutrients. Dried alfalfa is a good source of micronutrients such as carotene and calcium.
Specific prebiotics, such as fructooligosaccharides (FOS) and mannanoligosaccharides (MOS), benefit the intestines by competing with and eliminating pathogenic bacteria and eliminating any toxins.
Psyllium seedsare rich in absorbable fiber, ensuring optimal absorption in the digestive system. They also support nutrient absorption and maintain regular stool consistency. When selecting the fiber blend to be used in each formula, Farmina takes into account the physiological and pathological conditions to which pets are prone, as well as the pathological conditions to which specific breeds are prone.
Antioxidants
Rich in tocopherol extract of natural origin.
We Use Natural Antioxidants in N D Dog Food
Food Antioxidants not only protect the food but also benefit pets when they eat it: antioxidant levels in the body reduce the damage caused by free radicals. Free radicals, such as Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS), often cause oxidative damage, which is the onset of chronic and degenerative diseases. These protective antioxidants prevent cellular aging and reduce oxidative stress.
TBHQ, BHA, and BHT are synthetic antioxidants used in food, and their effects on pet health are still under debate. Many studies have shown a link between the levels of these compounds in the body, especially when consumed in high doses, and certain changes in the internal organs of pets.
As a brand, we have decided to add only and exclusively natural antioxidants to all our formulations. These antioxidants, derived from natural sources, are added to our entire range during both the storage of raw materials and the final product: carotenoids, retinoids (Vitamin A), bioflavonoids (citrine), polyphenols (hydroxytyrosol), tocopherols (Vitamin E), and ascorbic acid (Vitamin C). Many fruits and vegetables are rich in antioxidants.
