Backed by Science
Science worth your trust.
Independent experts. Published research. Decades of clinical studies. Because what goes into their bowl deserves that much thought.
Farmina Vet Research
You deserve more than a brand's word.
Choosing food for a dog or cat means making decisions for someone who depends on you. That's why everything on this page traces back to one team: Farmina Vet Research (FVR) — veterinarians, nutritionists and food scientists working together since day one, alongside leading universities around the world, including Cornell, the University of Naples Federico II, the University of Belgrade and the University of Messina.
An independent scientific board brings expert perspectives in veterinary medicine, animal nutrition and dermatology to help shape the best possible nutrition for your pets.
Not a claim on a label. Years of shared research, peer-reviewed and published, that quietly shape what ends up in the bowl.
Peer-Reviewed Research
50+ studies and counting.
Not every study fits on one page. Below are the 36 that matter most: the research most directly behind what's in the bowl, run with universities and veterinary clinics since 2006.
