Farmina N&D (Natural & Delicious)

Brand and product overview

Farmina N&D (Natural & Delicious) is the premium pet‑nutrition line produced by Farmina Pet Foods. N&D is best known for dry kibble formulas (with complementary wet recipes) formulated around natural ingredients, grain‑free and ancestral‑grain options, and veterinary lines. The N&D brand is the consumer-facing name for Farmina’s Natural & Delicious range for both dogs and cats.

Origin and manufacturing

The N&D recipe and brand originate from Farmina’s Italian roots — the company grew from the Russo family animal‑nutrition business founded in Italy. Production is global: Farmina operates multiple proprietary factories (notably in Italy, Serbia and Brazil) and, beginning in 2025, opened a U.S. manufacturing facility in Reidsville, North Carolina to serve North American demand. Because Farmina manufactures in several countries and prints facility codes on packaging, the correct origin for a specific bag can vary by SKU and run — overall the product line is produced in multiple countries (Italy, Serbia, Brazil and the United States).

Ownership and corporate structure

Farmina began in Italy and remains family‑driven in philosophy and leadership. The global corporate ownership sits under Farmina Pet Foods Holding (registered as Farmina Pet Foods Holding B.V.), an international holding company used to manage regional subsidiaries and operations. Operational and historic headquarters and research activities remain strongly associated with Italy, while the holding entity is registered in the Netherlands. Local subsidiaries (for example Farmina Pet Foods USA LLC and national operating companies in Serbia and Brazil) handle regional manufacturing, distribution and sales.

Practical note for data systems

For cataloging purposes mark manufacturingCountry as "Multiple countries" and check the specific package label (production site code and "Made in" text) to identify the exact country for a given SKU or lot. Brand origin should be recorded as Italy, company of origin as Farmina Pet Foods (Russo family origin), and ultimate owner as Farmina Pet Foods Holding B.V. (Netherlands‑registered holding) while keeping a note that operational HQ and brand heritage are Italian.
