TL;DR: Farmina Ancestral Grain Chicken & Pomegranate Maxi Giant is a dry dog food for large and giant-breed dogs, built around chicken as the featured animal protein, pomegranate, and ancient grains (spelt and oats). It's made for owners of big dogs — Labradors through Great Danes — who want a chicken-based kibble without corn or wheat, plus added glucosamine and chondroitin for joint support.
This Farmina chicken and pomegranate dog food pairs chicken with pomegranate and slow-release ancient grains instead of higher-glycaemic fillers. The kibble and nutrient profile are tuned to the needs of maxi and giant breeds, which carry more weight through their frames than smaller dogs.
What makes this Farmina recipe different?
Chicken leads the formula as the featured animal protein, paired with pomegranate for antioxidant support. Spelt and oats replace corn and wheat, giving a gentler carbohydrate profile.
Glucosamine and chondroitin are added directly to the recipe — a sensible inclusion for heavier dogs whose joints bear more load day to day.

Who is it for?
This food is built for maxi and giant-breed dogs — Labradors, Golden Retrievers, German Shepherds, Great Danes and similar frames. It suits owners who prefer a chicken-based recipe with ancient grains rather than corn or wheat, and who want joint-supporting glucosamine and chondroitin included in the daily bowl.
Life-stage labelling varies across the Farmina Ancestral Grain range, so confirm the stage printed on the bag matches your dog before switching. If you're feeding a growing large-breed puppy, choose the puppy-designated formula in the same line.
Feeding & use
Follow the feeding guide printed on the bag and adjust portions to your dog's weight, body condition, and activity level. Keep fresh water available at all times.
Transition gradually over 7–10 days, mixing increasing amounts of the new food into the current one to let your dog's digestion adapt. Store the bag sealed in a cool, dry place to keep the kibble fresh between meals.
