Choosing food for a medium or large-breed puppy is not simply a matter of looking for “grain-free” or “high-protein” claims on the bag. Growth rate, estimated adult weight and digestive sensitivity should all guide your purchase. The 12 kg format can also reduce the price per kilo, provided the recipe is genuinely suitable for your puppy’s age and size.
The Farmina N&D Pumpkin Lamb Puppy Food for Medium or Large-Breed Puppies, 12 kg is aimed at a very specific search: premium puppy food made with lamb, pumpkin and no grains. Here are the key points to check before ordering, along with a few alternatives suited to different needs.
A recipe without wheat, maize or rice is not automatically suitable for every dog. These ingredients are sometimes replaced with peas, sweet potato or pea starch. You should therefore check the full ingredient list, rather than relying solely on the claims displayed on the front of the bag.
The Farmina N&D Puppy recipe with lamb and pumpkin contains fresh and dehydrated lamb, sweet potato, pea starch, dehydrated herring and dried pumpkin, among other ingredients. It is presented as a complete food for medium and large-breed puppies. However, the information on the packaging remains the key reference to consult.
The Farmina N&D Pumpkin range includes several lamb recipes intended for adult dogs. These should not be confused with the Puppy Medi/Maxi version. An adult formula may have a different composition and may not meet the needs of a growing animal.
Before placing your order, check three things: the puppy designation, the medium/maxi indication or equivalent, and the recommended age for switching to the adult formula. The breed specified by the manufacturer is not enough on its own: estimated adult weight is just as important.
The presence of DHA, EPA, glucosamine or chondroitin provides information about the composition, but does not guarantee results on its own. For this recipe, the declared levels are 1,400 mg/kg of glucosamine and 1,100 mg/kg of chondroitin sulphate. The product also contains herring oil, a source of fatty acids, as well as DHA and EPA, which are presented as contributing to brain and visual development.
These ingredients are not a substitute for veterinary care, particularly if growth appears irregular, your puppy is limping or digestive problems persist.
Food for medium-breed puppies and food for large-breed puppies should not be chosen solely according to the animal’s current size. Take account of its predicted adult weight, age and activity level. The Farmina N&D Pumpkin Lamb Puppy Medi/Maxi feeding chart covers weights from 10 to 70 kg, with quantities varying according to age.
The daily portion should be divided into two or more meals, depending on your puppy’s age and the manufacturer’s recommendations. The quantities given are only guidelines and should be adjusted according to changes in your puppy’s weight and body condition.
In the recipe concerned, lamb and dehydrated lamb appear at the top of the ingredients list, along with herring, dehydrated egg and animal fats. The brand states that 96% of the protein comes from animal sources. This figure describes the advertised formula, but does not guarantee nutritional effectiveness for every dog.
For owners looking for grain-free puppy food, the ingredient list contains no grains, soya or by-products. Even so, remember to check the label on the bag you receive: formulations and printed packaging information may change.
A 12 kg bag of puppy food is best suited to households that regularly use this type of food. It will be less practical if your puppy eats very little or if you do not yet know how well they tolerate the recipe. Once opened, keep the bag tightly sealed in a cool, dry place away from moisture and direct light.
When changing your puppy’s food, allow for a gradual transition over approximately 10 days. During the first three days, mix 75% of the old food with 25% of the new one, then gradually increase the proportion of the new recipe.
Why this choice suits this profile : This smaller format lets you test palatability and digestion before moving on to a larger bag.
The pack size reduces the risk of being left with a large bag if the recipe does not suit your puppy.

Why this choice suits this profile : This format combines a lamb recipe with a generous quantity for households looking to order less frequently.

We have brought together a complete, real-time selection of products that meet these demanding selection criteria and European safety requirements.
The product in question is intended for medium and large-breed puppies, but your choice should take account of estimated adult weight, age, activity level and individual tolerance. If digestive problems or growth issues occur, seek advice from a vet.
Allow for a gradual transition over 7 to 10 days. Start with a small amount of the new recipe, then increase it in stages. Always provide a bowl of fresh water and monitor your puppy’s stools, appetite and weight.
It depends on your puppy’s weight and daily portion. As a guide, a puppy eating 300 g per day will consume around 9 kg in 30 days. However, the feeding chart printed on the bag should take precedence over any general estimate.
