Every Farmina N&D dry dog food, scored the same way I score every brand I review — no exceptions, no guesswork.
This guide covers all 6 Farmina N&D canine lines and 31 individual recipes: Quinoa Functional, Tropical Selection, Prime (plus the White and Brown coat lines), Ocean, Pumpkin Grain-Free, and Ancestral Grain. Every recipe is run through my full PSS™ 10-point scoring system and converted to dry matter basis — the same way a veterinary nutritionist actually compares foods, not the inflated as-fed numbers on the bag.
What makes this different from a bag-label comparison:
Every nutrient is converted to dry matter basis (DMB), removing the moisture differences that make as-fed comparisons misleading
Caloric density (metabolizable energy) is checked and corrected where a recipe runs outside the normal range, so nutrient percentages aren't skewed by an unusually calorie-dense or calorie-dilute formula
Each recipe is scored on life-stage accuracy, feeding-guide calorie accuracy, grain-free status, raw/not-raw, feeding-trial substantiation, and DMB protein, fat, fiber, calcium, and phosphorus
Every data point is sourced directly from Farmina's own product pages — no retailer estimates, no AI guesses filling gaps
What you'll find inside:
Real spread in the results — scores run from 4/10 to 9/10 across the line, with 21 of the 31 recipes landing at 8/10 or better. Which formulas are the standouts, which ones surprised me, and exactly why each one scored the way it did.
