Editor ingredient insight
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.

03. CHOOSING FOR YOUR DOG
What to consider before feeding
chicken, dehydrated chicken supply animal protein at the start of the ingredient list. sweet potatoes supply carbohydrate energy. The recipe combines animal protein sources with carbohydrate sources.
chicken fat add fat and energy; fat content is a separate choice criterion from the protein sources.
Across the registered ingredients, multiple protein sources appear, including chicken, egg, herring. If a protein must be excluded, any of these sources can change the decision; the first ingredient alone does not make this a single-protein diet.
What works well in this food
- The first ingredient is a species-named fresh meat.
- Crude protein is on the higher side.
- Top ingredients do not show a prominent FDA-investigated non-hereditary DCM ingredient profile.
Check before feeding
- Higher calorie density can raise daily intake in a gram-for-gram switch. Weight reduction needs portions and treat calories to be adjusted together.
- The first ingredient is a species-named fresh meat, but the top profile turns to sweet potatoes by the third slot instead of staying fully animal-led.
- Public data is usable, but not at the highest-trust tier.
When this food fits your dog
Among foods made the same way, protein is higher, fat is higher, and calorie density is higher. Compare this combination when both protein and concentrated energy matter. It can help plan smaller portions, but dogs prone to weight gain should not switch gram-for-gram from a less calorie-dense food.
Consider it first when
- Comparing protein and energy in smaller portions
- Dogs that already tolerate the disclosed animal proteins
- Shoppers who want a meat-forward recipe
Choose another food first when
- One of the disclosed animal proteins must be excluded
- A lower-calorie food is required
- A lower-fat food is required
High calorie density remains the clearest trade-off here.
