N&D
Farmina N&D Dog Food
N&D stands for Natural & Delicious. It is the premium range from Farmina, an Italian pet food company, and it is one of the most respected dry foods sold in India. Animeal stocks 62 N&D products across every range Farmina makes, in bags from 800 grams to 15 kilos. If you have ever stared at a bag reading "N&D GF CHIC ADU MINI" and had no idea what any of it meant, start with the table below.
What the Letters in an N&D Product Name Mean
Farmina names its ranges by initials and Indian sellers copy them straight onto the label. Here is what each one is.
| Code | Range | What it is |
|---|---|---|
| AG | Ancestral Grain | Not grain free. Uses spelt and oats instead of wheat, corn or rice. The usual choice when a dog does fine on grain |
| GF | Grain Free | No grain at all. Potato and pea based. The range to look at for a dog with a suspected grain sensitivity |
| OC | Ocean | Fish based, cod and herring. Useful for a dog that reacts to chicken |
| QU | Quinoa | Functional formulas built around quinoa. Skin & Coat, Weight Management, Urinary |
| PR | Prime | Grain free, single main protein, with fruit. Mostly the cat range here |
| TS | Tropical Selection | Ancestral grain with tropical fruits. The most affordable N&D line |
And the rest of the label:
- CHIC means chicken. ADU means adult, PUP means puppy, STARTER is for weaning puppies and pregnant or nursing mothers
- MINI is for small breeds, MAXI is for medium and large breeds. The difference is kibble size and the calcium and phosphorus balance, not just the bag
So N&D GF CHIC PUP MINI 2.5 KG reads as: grain free, chicken, puppy, small breed, two and a half kilos.

Which N&D Range Should You Buy?
Your dog is healthy and eats anything
Start with Ancestral Grain chicken. It is the cheapest N&D per kilo, it uses spelt and oats rather than wheat or corn, and there is no reason to pay for grain free if grain is not the problem.
Your dog itches, has loose stools, or licks its paws
Try Grain Free first, and change only one thing at a time so you learn something. If chicken has been the constant in every food your dog has eaten, the more useful test is switching the protein, not removing the grain. That means Ocean cod or Grain Free lamb.
Your dog has a dull coat or flaky skin
Quinoa Skin & Coat, made with duck or quail plus quinoa, coconut and turmeric. Give any food twelve weeks before you judge a coat. Hair grows slowly and nothing shows in a fortnight.
Your dog is overweight
Quinoa Weight Management. Worth saying plainly: a weight formula only works if you measure the food. Weigh the portion on a kitchen scale rather than using a cup, and count the treats.
You have a puppy
Match both the life stage and the size. Starter is for weaning and for the mother. Puppy Mini is for small breeds and Puppy Maxi for medium and large. That distinction matters more than most people think, because large breed puppy formulas control calcium to protect developing joints. Feeding a Labrador puppy a small breed formula is not a neutral choice.
Buy N&D Dog Food Near Me in Mumbai and Navi Mumbai
If you are searching for N&D dog food near you and you are in Mumbai or Navi Mumbai, you can walk in and pick up a bag today rather than waiting for a courier. Animeal is the online store of Goodman Pet Chemist, a licensed pet pharmacy chain with four branches:
Call the branch before you travel and we will hold the bag for you, or tell you honestly if that size is not on the shelf. Ordering online gets you free delivery above ₹499 in Mumbai and same-day delivery across Mumbai and Navi Mumbai.
Is N&D Worth the Price?
N&D is expensive. A 2.5 kg bag sits between ₹2,590 and ₹3,980, where a mainstream Indian brand sells the same weight for a third of that. So the honest question is whether the extra money buys anything.
What you are paying for: a high proportion of animal protein, named single proteins rather than "meat and meat derivatives", no wheat or corn, and formulas designed around a low glycaemic load so energy releases slowly rather than spiking. That is a genuinely different specification from a supermarket kibble, not a marketing difference.
What it will not do: fix a skin problem that is actually fleas, mites or a bacterial infection. Diet is the answer roughly as often as it is not, and an expensive bag is a slow and costly way to test a theory. If your dog is itching, rule out parasites first. That is cheaper, faster and more often the answer.
The practical middle path: buy the 800 g bag first. We stock several. Find out whether your dog will actually eat it and how the stools look after two weeks, before you commit to a 12 kg bag.
What N&D Costs
List prices, before the discount that shows at checkout.
| Bag | Roughly |
|---|---|
| 800 g trial bag | ₹890 to ₹1,380 |
| 2.5 kg | ₹2,590 to ₹3,980 |
| 7 kg | ₹6,990 to ₹10,550 |
| 12 kg and 15 kg | ₹11,550 to ₹13,490 |
The big bags are far cheaper per kilo. A 7 kg Ancestral Grain works out at roughly a third less per kilo than the 2.5 kg. Only buy that way once you know your dog eats it, and only if you can store it properly. Kibble goes stale and fats go rancid once a bag is opened, so keep it sealed, out of the sun, and finish a bag within about six weeks.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does N&D stand for?
Natural & Delicious. It is the premium range made by Farmina, an Italian pet food company. You will see it written as N&D, Farmina N&D, or just Farmina.
What is the difference between N&D Grain Free and Ancestral Grain?
Ancestral Grain contains spelt and oats, which are grains, just not wheat, corn or rice. Grain Free contains no grain at all and uses potato and peas instead. If your dog is fine on grain, Ancestral Grain is the cheaper and equally good choice.
Should I buy Mini or Maxi?
Mini is formulated for small breeds and Maxi for medium and large breeds. The kibble is a different size and the mineral balance differs, which matters most in puppies, where large breed formulas control calcium to protect growing joints. Match your dog's adult size, not its size today.
Where can I buy N&D dog food near me?
If you are in Mumbai or Navi Mumbai, at any of our four Goodman Pet Chemist branches: Parel, which is open 24 hours, Mahim, Sewri, and Seawoods in Navi Mumbai. Call ahead and we will hold the bag. Elsewhere in India, order online.
How do I switch my dog onto N&D?
Over seven to ten days. Start at roughly a quarter new food to three quarters old, then move to half and half, then three quarters, then all new. Switching in one day is the usual cause of the loose stools people blame on the food.
Is N&D good for a dog with itchy skin?
It may help, and it may not be the problem. Food is one cause of itching among several, and fleas, mites and infections are more common. Rule those out first, because they are cheaper and faster to check. If you do try a diet change, switch the protein rather than only removing grain, and give it eight to twelve weeks.
Can you order an N&D product you do not stock?
Yes. WhatsApp +91 90044 85093 or email bark@animeal.in with the product name and bag size. We will confirm availability, price and timing before you commit. If we cannot get it, we will say so and suggest the closest equivalent.
