Furry PI's verdict
Farmina N&D Ocean Adult Neutered doesn't hold up well under the magnifying glass. It contains dried beet pulp. To be fair, herring leads the ingredient list — the right start for an obligate carnivore. On balance, most cats are better served by stronger options — the app can suggest better-graded foods of the same type.
What's concerning
- Contains dried beet pulp, a lower-quality ingredient.
- A high carbohydrate load for an obligate carnivore — a cat's natural prey is almost carb-free.
- Several other ingredients on the label raise quality questions — the full flagged list is in the app.
What works
- Herring leads the ingredient list — the right start for an obligate carnivore.
- No grains on the label.
- Includes genuinely beneficial ingredients such as herring and dehydrated herring.
