Farmina · N&D Quinoa Skin & Coat · Quail, quinoa, coconut and turmeric recipe

Furry PI's verdict

Our investigation turned up real problems with Farmina N&D Quinoa Skin & Coat. It contains brewers dried yeast. To be fair, quail 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 brewers dried yeast, a lower-quality ingredient.
• A high carbohydrate load for an obligate carnivore — a cat's natural prey is almost carb-free.
• A modest share of calories comes from protein.

What works

• Quail leads the ingredient list — the right start for an obligate carnivore.
• No grains on the label.
• Includes genuinely beneficial ingredients such as quail and dehydrated quail.
