TL;DR: Farmina Ancestral Grain Chicken & Pomegranate Adult Mini is a small-breed dry dog food built around chicken and dehydrated chicken, with whole spelt, oats and dried pomegranate. Over 90% of the protein comes from animal sources, and the mini-size kibble is shaped for smaller mouths.
This recipe pairs high-inclusion animal protein with limited ancestral grains, giving small adult dogs a balanced, lower-glycemic alternative to legume-heavy kibbles. It's a useful pick if you're searching for a Farmina chicken and pomegranate dog food that suits toy and small breeds.
What makes this formula different?
Chicken and dehydrated chicken lead the ingredient deck, so the protein is concentrated and animal-based rather than plant-based. Whole spelt and oats replace the corn, wheat and soy found in many mainstream kibbles, and dried pomegranate contributes natural antioxidants.

Who is it for?
This food is formulated for adult small-breed dogs whose owners want a high animal-protein, grain-inclusive recipe rather than a grain-free or legume-heavy one. If you've been comparing this Farmina chicken free dog food alternative options — meaning formulas free of corn, wheat and soy rather than poultry — this recipe fits that use case while still keeping chicken as the primary protein.
