Compared using current public information

What matters for this choice

Matching first three ingredient names do not make the remaining entries match. Differing entries: B: pea starch, pork fat, dehydrated pork, hydrolyzed fish, among others. These differences matter if you need to avoid a listed ingredient.

What they have in common

  • Both list chicken, dehydrated chicken, dried whole eggs, herring, among others to supply animal protein.
  • Both list sweet potatoes to supply carbohydrate energy.
  • Both list pea fiber, psyllium seed husk to supply dietary fiber.
  • Both list chicken fat, herring oil to supply fat and energy.

Animal protein: sources and forms

A

Farmina N&D Prime Chicken & Pomegranate Adult Medium & Maxi

Named animal protein in the first five entries: chicken (#1), dehydrated chicken (#2), dried whole eggs (#5). Clearly identified animal protein sources are a strength of this label. chicken (#1), herring (#6): meat/fish ingredients. Fresh meat is weighed with its water; first place does not mean it supplies more protein than a dried ingredient. dehydrated chicken (#2), dehydrated herring (#7): dried animal protein ingredients. When fresh and dried ingredients both appear near the top, the label identifies a dried protein source as well as water-containing meat. dried whole eggs (#5): eggs are another animal protein source, distinct from meat. chicken fat (#4), herring oil (#8): fat/oil sources. An animal name in a fat ingredient does not make it an additional meat-protein source.

B

Farmina N&D Prime Chicken & Pomegranate Adult Mini

Named animal protein in the first five entries: chicken (#1), dehydrated chicken (#2). Clearly identified animal protein sources are a strength of this label. chicken (#1), herring (#10): meat/fish ingredients. Fresh meat is weighed with its water; first place does not mean it supplies more protein than a dried ingredient. dehydrated chicken (#2), dehydrated pork (#7), dehydrated herring (#11): dried animal protein ingredients. When fresh and dried ingredients both appear near the top, the label identifies a dried protein source as well as water-containing meat. dried whole eggs (#9): eggs are another animal protein source, distinct from meat. hydrolyzed fish (#41): the animal species, tissues or mixture are less specific. This is a weakness when your priority is identifying exactly which animal ingredients are used. hydrolyzed fish (#41): proteins broken into smaller fragments. This differs from intact meat; the ingredient name alone does not make the finished food an allergy diet. chicken fat (#5), pork fat (#6), herring oil (#12): fat/oil sources. An animal name in a fat ingredient does not make it an additional meat-protein source.

Both list chicken, dehydrated chicken, dried whole eggs, herring, among others as animal protein sources. The differing animal protein sources are: B: dehydrated pork, hydrolyzed fish. Check the named sources and forms against ingredients you need to avoid; shared names do not establish quantities or digestibility.

Is protein supplemented with plant ingredients?

A

Farmina N&D Prime Chicken & Pomegranate Adult Medium & Maxi

No processed plant protein source is identified in the available panel. This is a plus if you want to avoid processed plant protein sources. sweet potatoes also contribute naturally occurring plant protein, so the declared crude protein is not all animal protein.

B

Farmina N&D Prime Chicken & Pomegranate Adult Mini

No processed plant protein source is identified in the available panel. This is a plus if you want to avoid processed plant protein sources. sweet potatoes also contribute naturally occurring plant protein, so the declared crude protein is not all animal protein.

Neither available panel identifies processed plant protein. Naturally occurring plant protein is still supplied by sweet potatoes.

What supplies carbohydrates and fiber?

A

Farmina N&D Prime Chicken & Pomegranate Adult Medium & Maxi

sweet potatoes (#3): primarily carbohydrate energy sources, also contributing the protein and fiber naturally present in the ingredient. pea fiber (#9), psyllium seed husk (#18): supplies dietary fiber, contributing to the food’s fiber composition rather than supplementing protein.

B

Farmina N&D Prime Chicken & Pomegranate Adult Mini

sweet potatoes (#3): primarily carbohydrate energy sources, also contributing the protein and fiber naturally present in the ingredient. pea starch (#4): primarily supplies carbohydrate energy rather than supplementing protein. pea fiber (#13), psyllium seed husk (#21), dried beet pulp (#44): supplies dietary fiber, contributing to the food’s fiber composition rather than supplementing protein.

Both list sweet potatoes as carbohydrate energy sources. The differing carbohydrate energy sources are: B: pea starch. Both list pea fiber, psyllium seed husk as dietary fiber sources. The differing dietary fiber sources are: B: dried beet pulp. The choice is whether to retain a familiar carbohydrate source or avoid a particular ingredient.

Pulse ingredients and DCM

Pulse ingredients: Both list pea fiber. B lists pea starch. Some diets with high-listed peas, lentils and other pulses have been investigated for an association with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). Pea protein alone has not been established as the cause; starch or fiber fractions cannot be assumed free of this concern. Nutritional role and cardiac risk are different questions. This comparison does not rate an individual food’s DCM risk.

A · Farmina

N&D Prime Chicken & Pomegranate Adult Medium & Maxi

Farmina N&D Prime Chicken & Pomegranate Adult Medium/Maxi is a high-protein kibble for active medium and large adult dogs that tolerate chicken and need muscle, joint, and coat support in one food. It starts with chicken and dehydrated chicken, then adds sweet potatoes, chicken fat, egg, herring, and herring oil, so it is not a simple chicken-only formula. At 34% protein, 18% fat, 3,986 kcal/kg, 0.8% EPA+DHA, 1,000 mg/kg glucosamine, and 700 mg/kg chondroitin, the active medium/large-dog case is strong. Choose another recipe for chicken allergy, egg or fish avoidance, sweet potato sensitivity, or weight-loss priorities.

B · Farmina

N&D Prime Chicken & Pomegranate Adult Mini

Farmina N&D Prime Chicken & Pomegranate Adult Mini fits small adult dogs that tolerate chicken and need a protein-forward kibble with coat and joint-support signals. It starts with chicken and dehydrated chicken, then adds sweet potatoes, pea starch, pork fat, dehydrated pork, egg, herring, and herring oil, so it is not a chicken-only formula. At 30% protein, 18% fat, 3,986 kcal/kg, 0.8% EPA+DHA, 1,000 mg/kg glucosamine, and 700 mg/kg chondroitin, the active small-dog case is clear. Choose another recipe for chicken allergy, pork/egg/fish avoidance, sweet potato or pea-starch sensitivity, or weight-loss priorities.
