Farmina N&D Ocean adult dog food appeals to owners of medium-sized and large dogs looking for fish-based dog food, rich in marine-sourced protein and, in some cases, grain-free. But an attractive picture of fish or a “premium” label is not enough to help you make the right choice.
Before placing your order, three mistakes come up time and again:
The fish-based recipes in this range specify the raw material used. The herring recipe contains 26% fresh herring and 25% dehydrated herring. The cod recipe lists 25% fresh cod and 25% dehydrated cod.
Dehydrated fish is particularly useful to compare: once most of the water has been removed, the protein is more concentrated. This information is therefore more meaningful than simply relying on the word “Ocean” displayed on the packaging.
If you are looking for high-protein fish-based dog food, also check the other sources of protein, such as the eggs included in the herring recipe. If your dog has a known food sensitivity, it is best to consult a vet before changing its diet.
The Farmina N&D Ocean Cod and Pumpkin recipe, intended for medium-sized and large adult dogs, contains pea starch and does not list any grains in the composition provided. It also contains 5% pumpkin, psyllium and several plant-based ingredients.
By contrast, the Ocean Cod, Spelt, Oats & Orange product, available in a 5 kg bag, contains 10% spelt and 10% oats. It therefore does not have the same profile as grain-free dog food.
The absence of grains alone does not guarantee that a recipe will suit every dog. Nutritional balance, individual tolerance, age, weight and activity level remain the most important factors.
Ocean recipes contain fish oil, including oil sourced from herring. The product information for the 12 kg cod recipe states 2.3% omega-3, including 1% DHA and 0.7% EPA. These figures are more precise than a simple claim such as “rich in omega-3”.
The presence of glucosamine and chondroitin sulphate may appeal to owners who want to provide nutrients associated with supporting healthy joints as part of their dog’s daily diet. This is not a medical claim or a treatment.
Finally, choose the bag size according to how much your dog actually eats:
Why this choice suits this profile : The 2.5 kg size lets you start gradually without committing to the cost of a large bag. It is a practical option for checking that your dog accepts the cod recipe before moving on to a larger pack.
The composition specifies 25% fresh cod and 25% dehydrated cod protein. The smaller pack means you do not have to stock up before knowing how well your dog tolerates it.
A grain-free formula according to the composition provided, with 5% pumpkin, herring oil, glucosamine and chondroitin sulphate.
Why this choice suits this profile : This large bag is suitable for a medium-sized or large adult dog that regularly eats the same recipe. Herring offers an alternative to cod, with a different marine profile.
The composition distinguishes fresh herring from dehydrated herring and mentions fish oil. This allows you to check the precise source of the marine protein, rather than relying solely on the Ocean name.
26% fresh herring, 25% dehydrated herring, sweet potato, dried whole eggs, glucosamine and chondroitin sulphate.
Why this choice suits this profile : The 5 kg bag offers an appealing compromise for an active dog or a household looking for a cod recipe with clearly identified grains. It is suitable for shoppers who are not necessarily looking for a grain-free formula.
The presence of 10% spelt and 10% oats is clearly stated. This means you avoid accidentally buying a fish-based recipe believing it to be grain-free.
27% fresh cod, 26% dehydrated cod, herring oil, spelt, oats, taurine and L-carnitine.

A complete food intended for an adult dog should be introduced gradually. Product information generally recommends a seven-day transition: start by mixing a small amount of the new food with the previous diet, then gradually increase the proportion.
Next, adjust the serving according to your dog’s weight, activity level and build, using the feeding guide on the bag. Always make sure fresh water is available. Store the food in a cool, dry place, reseal the bag carefully and check the best-before date and batch number.
The cod recipe contains 25% fresh cod and 25% dehydrated cod, as well as 5% pumpkin. The herring recipe lists 26% fresh herring and 25% dehydrated herring, with sweet potato and dried whole eggs. Both formulas contain fish oil and several other similar complementary ingredients.
The 2.5 kg bag is the safest choice for a first transition. The 5 kg size lets you try a cod recipe containing spelt and oats. The 12 kg bag is more economical and practical for a medium-sized or large adult dog already used to this food, provided you can store it correctly.
Some recipes contain pea fibre, inulin, fructo-oligosaccharides or psyllium, but every dog reacts differently. A grain-free formula is not automatically suitable for animals with sensitive digestion. If symptoms persist, your dog is on an elimination diet or you suspect an allergy, ask a vet for advice.
