For Vets & Vet Shops

Science-based nutrition, backed by clinical credibility.

Apex Pet Group supports South African veterinary practices and vet shops with the full Farmina N&D range — biologically appropriate, research-led nutrition that veterinary teams can confidently recommend and dispense.

The Veterinary Channel

Nutrition your practice can stand behind.

Vets and vet shops need more than a product to shelve — they need a nutrition partner whose formulation logic holds up under clinical scrutiny. Farmina develops every N&D recipe around the biology of cats and dogs as obligate and facultative carnivores, prioritising animal-origin protein, low glycemic index carbohydrates, GMO-free ingredients, and natural preservation methods over artificial additives.

Apex Pet Group brings that research-backed range to South African veterinary practices with product training, evidence-based talking points, and reliable supply, so your team can recommend with confidence and clients can see the clinical difference at home.

The Farmina N&D Range

Five formulation philosophies. One nutritional standard.

N&D Quinoa

Grain-free formulas built around quinoa as a functional superfood, with over 90% protein from animal sources for dogs and cats with specific nutritional needs.

N&D Prime

High in protein of animal origin, made without artificial preservatives — a clean, straightforward formulation for everyday premium feeding.

N&D Ocean

Fish-based recipes offering a novel protein source, ideal for dogs and cats that benefit from variety or sensitivity-conscious feeding plans.

N&D Pumpkin

Grain-free formulas using pumpkin for digestible fibre and gentle digestive support alongside high animal-protein content.

N&D Low Ancestral Grain

Ancestral grains included in modest, balanced quantities for owners who prefer a low-grain rather than fully grain-free formula.

Special Focus

Why quinoa matters in the N&D formula.

Quinoa is the functional ingredient that sets the N&D Quinoa line apart from typical grain-free diets. It carries around 13% high-quality protein with a biological value of roughly 75 — exceptionally high for a plant source — and is naturally gluten-free with a low glycemic index, making it easier on digestion and blood-sugar response than conventional cereals.

For dogs and cats, quinoa supports nutrient absorption and intestinal health, supplies balanced essential amino acids and natural antioxidants, and is nutritionally richer than most cereal alternatives. Farmina builds this into four functional formulas your practice can match to specific clinical needs:

Digestive Support

Over 90% digestibility with added prebiotics, supporting nutrient absorption and intestinal health.

Skin & Coat

Single novel protein, chicken-free formulas rich in omega-3 fatty acids for coat condition and skin sensitivity cases.

Urinary Health

Controlled, low magnesium formulation (0.08%) designed to support lower urinary tract health.

Weight Management

Low fat, high fibre, low glycemic index recipe suited to weight-conscious feeding plans.

Practice Partnership

What Apex brings to your practice or vet shop.

Product Training

Clear, evidence-based briefings on formulation logic so your whole team can speak to Farmina with confidence.

Reliable Supply

Consistent stock availability across the full N&D range, supported by Apex's importation and distribution network.

Client Handover Support

Referral-friendly materials that help clients move from a clinical recommendation to a confident at-home feeding decision.
