Frequently asked questions

Who makes Farmina pet food?

Farmina is manufactured by Farmina Pet Foods.

Where is Farmina made?

Farmina pet food is made in IT.

When was Farmina founded?

Farmina was founded in 1965.

Is Farmina WSAVA-aligned?

Farmina is not on our WSAVA-aligned shortlist. That doesn't automatically mean the food is poor quality — many strong brands haven't pursued WSAVA recognition — but it means we lack independent confirmation of feeding-trial validation and on-staff veterinary nutritionist staffing.

Has Farmina ever been recalled?

No Farmina products match any FDA recall in our tracked feed. Two caveats worth stating plainly: our feed covers FDA recall notices from late 2025 onward, so a recall older than that would not appear here; and brand matching is deliberately conservative, so a recall naming a parent company or a co-manufacturer rather than Farmina itself may not be linked. For a definitive answer, check the FDA's own recall database.
