Farmina N&D Ancestral Grain Senior Medium & Maxi Chicken
Farmina N&D Ancestral Grain Senior Medium & Maxi with chicken, spelt, oats and pomegranate. Dry food for older medium and large dogs.
Farmina N&D Ancestral Grain Chicken & Pomegranate Senior Medium & Maxi is a high-quality complete feed specially formulated to meet the nutritional needs of older dogs of medium and large breeds. The balanced recipe combines high-quality animal proteins with selected ancient grains, valuable fatty acids and plant-based ingredients.
As your dog gets older, its needs change. Its metabolism may slow down, physical activity often decreases, and maintaining muscle mass becomes increasingly important. A diet tailored to its needs helps older dogs to remain active and full of vigour for as long as possible.
With 20 % chicken and 18 % dehydrated chicken protein, this food contains a high proportion of animal-based ingredients. Chicken provides valuable proteins and essential amino acids that help maintain muscle mass. A sufficient supply of high-quality protein is particularly important for older dogs to counteract age-related muscle loss.
The recipe contains 10 % spelt and 10 % oats as selected sources of carbohydrates. These traditional grains provide energy and plant-based fibre. They complement the animal-based ingredients and support a balanced daily diet.
Another distinctive feature is the increased crude fibre content of 5 %. Dietary fibre can support digestion and help create a pleasant feeling of fullness. This is particularly beneficial for older dogs, whose activity levels often decline.
The recipe is enriched with pomegranate, carrots, spinach, apples, blueberries, blackcurrants and turmeric. These plant-based ingredients provide natural plant compounds and ensure a varied composition.
The herring and fish oil from herring contained in this food provide valuable omega-3 fatty acids, including DHA and EPA. These contribute to normal skin function and complement the omega-6 fatty acids, which are important for a healthy coat.
Of particular interest for older dogs are the 1'200 mg/kg of glucosamine and 1'000 mg/kg of chondroitin sulphate contained in the food. Both substances are natural components of joint cartilage and are frequently used in food for older dogs.
The prebiotic fibres inulin, fructooligosaccharides (FOS) and mannan-oligosaccharides (MOS) can help support a balanced gut flora. In addition, the formula contains psyllium husks and seeds, which, thanks to their swelling dietary fibre, can contribute to normal digestive function.
With a crude protein content of 27 % and a fat content of 15, Farmina N&D Ancestral Grain Senior Medium & Maxi provides a balanced supply of protein and energy for older dogs.
The kibble is tailored to the needs of medium and large dog breeds and facilitates species-appropriate feeding.
The senior dry food is available in 2.5 kg and 12 kg packs and is suitable for the long-term nutrition of older dogs.

Zoo Roco Tip
As dogs get older, they need a diet that is adapted to their changing energy requirements whilst ensuring an adequate supply of high-quality proteins.
Farmina N&D Ancestral Grain Senior Medium & Maxi combines chicken with spelt, oats, omega fatty acids and selected plant-based ingredients. The adjusted crude fibre content, along with glucosamine and chondroitin sulphate, complement the recipe for older dogs.
Check your senior dog’s body weight and body condition regularly. A healthy weight is particularly important for medium and large dog breeds, as excess weight places additional strain on the musculoskeletal system.
Make sure your dog continues to get sufficient exercise. Regular, age-appropriate walks and gentle activity can help maintain muscle tone and mobility for as long as possible.
If your dog has a reduced appetite or is having difficulty chewing, you can moisten the dry food with a little lukewarm water.
Not every older dog automatically needs a diet with reduced energy content. The key factors are the dog’s individual physical condition, activity level and state of health. If your dog has any existing medical conditions, we recommend consulting a vet about their diet.
