When it comes to feeding our pets, most of us walk into a shop, stare at rows of colourful bags, ask for a quick recommendation, and hope for the best. It’s what we’ve always done. But what if there was a better way? What if you could actually sit down with an expert, free of charge, and get a nutrition plan built specifically around your dog or cat? Turns out you can – and very few pet owners in Malta know about it!

Does any of this sound familiar?

Your dog has a sensitive stomach and you’ve tried switching foods more times than you can count. Your cat won’t stop scratching and you can’t figure out why. Your pet is slowly putting on weight even though you’re not overfeeding. Or you’ve got a fussy eater on your hands who turns their nose up at just about everything.

These are some of the most common issues pet owners deal with, and more often than not, they come down to one thing – a diet that doesn’t quite match what that particular pet actually needs. A young, energetic Border Collie has completely different requirements to a senior Maltese with a delicate digestion. A growing kitten needs something very different to an indoor adult cat prone to hairballs.

Enter Farmina’s free nutritional consultancy

Farmina, a pet nutrition brand available locally, has built its entire approach around one simple idea: every pet is different, and their food should reflect that. Through Farmina’s Pet Care Program, you can book a completely free consultancy with a dedicated Pet Nutritional Consultant who will assess your pet’s breed, age, activity level, body condition, and any specific sensitivities – and then build a tailored nutrition plan designed just for them.

And here’s the part most people don’t realise: this isn’t a one-off chat you forget about. It’s an ongoing relationship. Your consultant is there to support you and guide you every step of the way – answering questions, adjusting the plan as your pet grows or ages, and making sure you never feel like you’re figuring it out alone. So rather than navigating your pet’s nutrition on your own, you’ve got a knowledgeable partner by your side, ready to help whenever you need it.

The programme also monitors five key health indicators – body condition, nutrition plan, water intake, urinary pH, and regular health checks – working alongside you and your vet to keep everything on track. All of this, completely free of charge.

Science-backed, naturally made

Farmina’s Natural & Delicious (N&D) range is formulated with high-quality, natural ingredients – with up to 98% animal protein in their grain-free recipes. Functional lines like N&D Quinoa are specifically designed to address everyday concerns such as digestion, skin and coat health, weight management, and urinary support. Behind it all is Farmina's own scientific research, plus a real commitment to low glycemic index ingredients and cruelty-free practices.

A welcome bonus for new customers

If you’re new to Farmina, there’s a little extra incentive to give the consultancy a try. The brand has just launched a welcome offer for first-time customers booking a free consultation: new puppy and kitten owners can enjoy up to 50% off their first purchase, while those with adult dogs or cats can benefit from up to 25% off, redeemable via voucher at participating pet shops across Malta. The discount is exclusive to customers who aren’t already in the Farmina system – so if you’ve been curious to try them out, this is a good moment.

Already a Farmina customer? Don't worry – there are more promotions on the way throughout the year. Keep an eye on Farmina Malta's social channels to make sure you don't miss out. Head over to the brand's website here to book your free nutritional consultancy and finally get a diet plan that’s actually tailored to your pet.
