What Makes Farmina Special?
Along with their employed nutritionists, the company partners with scientists at Cornell University to ensure their formulations are designed with the latest nutritional science in mind, ensuring a balanced diet for pets. Moreover, Farmina's innovative approach to pet food is evident in their use of a vacuum coating system that ensures vitamins are added after cooking, preserving their potency and nutritional value. Farmina uses nitrogen gas during packaging to displace any oxygen that is present to avoid fat oxidation and, therefore, rancidity.
The recipes include a diverse array of proteins, fruits, vegetables, and ancient grains to provide high-quality meals for your pup that can be rotated to keep meals interesting, potentially increasing their appetite and reducing food boredom. Due to the high nutrient density of their formulas, less kibble is needed for feeding. This results in less waste, which dries out much faster than other lower-budget food options. I appreciate knowing that I'm not wasting money on the food I'm feeding my pet.
Their holistic approach, combining high-quality ingredients with advanced nutritional science, makes them a standout choice in the pet food industry.

How Our Puppies are Fed
There is some evidence that suggests exposing puppies to a variety of protein sources early in life may reduce the incidence of food allergies, improve tolerance to different food types, and prevent picky eating habits. Rotating foods can provide a broader range of nutrients. Different foods offer varying profiles of vitamins, minerals, and amino acids, which might help cover any nutritional gaps in a single food type. It also enhances their microbiome. Our program combines different protein sources including lamb, chicken, and fish when puppies are weaned.
The dog food market is saturated with so many options! Buzzwords like "human grade food," "high protein," "all-natural," and many more flood the shelves. Finding the best food for your furry family member amidst these claims can be daunting. After extensive research and rating various dog food manufacturers using an objective grading scheme, I have proudly chosen to partner with Farmina, an Italian pet food company making significant strides in the US market.
Farmina stands out in the crowded market due to their commitment to using high-quality, natural ingredients from Italy and neighboring European countries. The company's emphasis on using regionally sourced ingredients that are free from GMOs, artificial preservatives, and by-products speaks to their dedication to maintaining the highest standards of pet nutrition.
