Pusencia and I recently ordered different flavors of grain-free Farmina N/d and decided to make a photo report of croquettes of different flavors. I hope someone finds this information useful. Flavors: Chicken with pomegranate, Chicken with pomegranate for kittens, Lamb with blueberries, Fish with oranges. Pomegranate chicken and orange fish have larger granules.
