Why Choose Farmina N&D Ancestral Grain Chicken & Pomegranate Puppy Medium & Maxi?
Growing puppies have different nutritional requirements from adult dogs, particularly when it comes to protein, energy, essential fatty acids and minerals.
Farmina N&D Ancestral Grain Chicken & Pomegranate Puppy Medium & Maxi is formulated to provide complete nutrition throughout the growth stage, including for puppies expected to become large adult dogs.
Quality Chicken Protein for Healthy Growth
One of the standout features of this recipe is its combination of 20% boneless chicken and 18% dehydrated chicken protein.
Protein supplies amino acids necessary for muscle growth, normal tissue development and everyday bodily functions.
The formula also contains herring and dried eggs, providing additional animal-derived nutrients.
With 30% crude protein, the food helps meet the nutritional requirements of growing puppies.
DHA & EPA for Brain and Vision Development
Puppyhood is an important period for the development of the nervous system and vision.
Farmina N&D Puppy Medium & Maxi contains 0.50% DHA and 0.30% EPA, Omega-3 fatty acids supplied through fish-derived ingredients.
DHA is particularly important for normal brain and retinal development during growth.
Supports Healthy Bones & Teeth
Medium and large-breed puppies require an appropriately balanced mineral intake during skeletal development.
The formula contains 1.10% calcium and 0.91% phosphorus, together with vitamin D3.
These nutrients help support normal bone mineralisation and healthy tooth development.
Providing appropriate portions is especially important for large-breed puppies, as excessive calorie intake and rapid weight gain can place additional demands on their developing skeletons.
Joint & Cartilage Nutrition
As puppies grow, their joints and cartilage develop alongside their muscles and bones.
Farmina N&D Ancestral Grain Puppy contains glucosamine and chondroitin sulphate, nutrients commonly included to support normal cartilage maintenance.
The recipe provides 1,400mg/kg glucosamine and 1,100mg/kg chondroitin sulphate.
Balanced nutrition, suitable exercise and maintaining a healthy growth rate remain important for developing puppies.
Ancestral Grains for Balanced Energy
The N&D Ancestral Grain range incorporates 10% spelt and 10% oats.
These selected grains provide carbohydrates that contribute to the recipe's energy content.
Combined with animal-derived proteins and fats, they form part of a nutritionally complete growth diet.
Digestive Health & Prebiotic Support
Young puppies experience significant digestive changes as they move from their starter food to regular puppy meals.
Farmina N&D Puppy Medium & Maxi includes:
-
Inulin and FOS: Prebiotic fibres that support beneficial intestinal bacteria.
-
Yeast Extract: A source of mannan-oligosaccharides.
-
Dried Beet Pulp: A source of dietary fibre.
-
Psyllium: Additional fibre supporting normal intestinal function.
These ingredients help support everyday digestive wellbeing.
Healthy Skin & Coat Development
The formula contains fish oil from herring and chicken fat, providing essential dietary fatty acids.
With 3.40% Omega-6 and 0.90% Omega-3, the recipe supplies nutrients that contribute to normal skin function and coat maintenance.
These fatty acids also support normal development and cellular function.
Pomegranate & Botanical Ingredients
This recipe includes 0.5% dried pomegranate, alongside blueberries, apples, spinach, carrots, turmeric and other plant-derived ingredients.
These ingredients complement the animal proteins and ancestral grains, contributing to the recipe's overall nutritional composition.
