The Farmer's Dog makes fresh, pre-portioned pet food delivered to your door.

The Farmer’s Dog was founded by two dog lovers who were fed up with the ever-growing gap between how pet food was marketed (Wolves! Nature! T-bone steak!) and how it was actually made (Inedible meats! Rendered powders! Extreme processing!). They wanted to make it easier for owners to care for their beloved dogs — starting with truly healthy pet food options. 

Our recipes are developed in partnership with vets to meet dogs' health needs, but made to human-food safety and quality standards. And we deliver it fresh, in ready-to-serve, pre-portioned packs. Better for them, easier for you.

The Farmer's Dog offers a range of meals that are generally loved by dogs. It has been particularly appreciated by owners of picky eaters and dogs with sensitive stomachs. The brand also provides excellent customer service. However, reviews suggest that the food may be too rich in protein for some dogs, leading to sickness. It requires a significant amount of freezer space and can be impractical for some owners. There have also been cases where dogs didn't enjoy the taste or texture of the food, and some owners found the food to be expensive.

Tried this to help my dog with some issues he was having. He LOVED the food but it takes up an insane amount of freezer space, is expensive, and just overall impractical. 

I love the mission, what they stand for and how they started a movement for fresh dog food in the states. 

But when compared to other fresh food, TFD looks squashed and mashed — my dog is not excited about the food at all. I can’t really see any of the ingredients as well. 

Love their fast shipping though. 

Great for those picky eaters! My pups go wild for dinner time knowing they are getting a delicious meal that is hearty and full of nutrients! 

Our pup, Yuna (18months) loves Farmers Dog. She has a sensitive stomach leading to soft poops and us looking everywhere for a food that works. Farmer's Dog has helped her so much. Yuna gets so excited to eat and is energetic and ready for each day. We do not have a huge budget so we use it as a topper which works great for us. 

We had recent loss in the family leading us to need to cancel our subscription.  I was very stressed about the cancellation process but thanks to the easily accessable website it went smoothly. There was some miscommunication about the following order but after calling customer service it was all taken care of. Their customer service is the best I have experienced in a company. I will happily be returning to Farmers Dog again in the future thanks to my experience and their great quality food. 

Prefer pet plate. Price is comparable and dogs enjoyed both.  Packaging is cumbersome 

Pros:
• My picky Great Pyr LOVED the taste of The Farmer’s Dog.
• His allergies and skin flare ups were basically gone when he ate FD.
• His stool shrunk and didn’t smell as bad! This is probably my top pro, I could see the difference in how his body digested real food.

Cons:
• Weighing close to 100 pounds, the cost was a little more than I would have liked, but understandably, its quality.
• Takes a little pre-planning when traveling. I’d store his food in a cooler or ship his food to where we were going.

We have since transitioned to a raw food diet but it’s great to know The Farmers Dog is there if we ever need it again. 

Farmer's dog has top-notch packaging, ingredients and mission in-mind. I really do think that healthy dogs deserve healthy food, and that doesn't always just consist of kibble. I think The Farmer's Dog is doing it right, but the price point is generally high for the everyday consumer which makes me sad. I'll happily splurge on my pups, but some people don't have that luxury and I wish they'd consider a fairer pricing system. My dogs are picky eaters, they like chicken and rice cooked by us, even more than they liked Farmer's Dog. That unfortunately was the reason we stopped purchasing. 

We tried feeding our little pomeranian The Farmer's Dog food for over a year.  At first we got a shipment of all of the flavors they have, and tried each one.  She wasn't too crazy about any of them, and we figured she would adjust to one or more over the coming weeks.  She would only eat this food if she was VERY hungry, and even then the suggested amount of 1/4th of a pack for a day was just too much.  She wouldn't even finish 1/8th of a pack.  We tried all of the tricks at TFD website: heating the food, adding parmesan cheese (!), etc.  Nothing really worked.  TFD wanted to keep sending food, but we were less than halfway through the starting packs.  Fortunately the website allows you to delay shipments indefinitely.  We kept feeding her for several months, but she wouldn't eat TFD food.  After a while we mixed in Hill's kibble for small dogs, and she would pick the dry food out of the bowl, leaving TFD.  One day, I bought a couple of small tins of Cesar.  My wife was astonished when the dog wolfed down this food immediately.  Her coat condition and happiness improved immediately.  We cannot recommend TFD.  It is far more expensive and, for our pom, far less healthy, than the pet food sold in the supermarket.  We have found that most Vet recommended brands like Purina, Hill's, and Royal Canin are palatable for our little pom, and we feed a mix of dry and moist food.

My Dog (Odin) loved Farmers Dog.   With that said; The food did not agree with him.  Mucus, diarrhea started immediately.  I gave it a few days, thinking….. his system was adjusting. When it hadn’t subsided within the week, I contacted Farmers Dog.  They were immediate in their response, and assured me this was normal.  However, after the second week, I made an appointment with my Vet.  Nothing seemed out of the ordinary, with Odin’s overall health, other than being dehydrated from the chronic diarrhea.  The food simply was not agreeing with Odin’s constitution.  The choice was made in the 3rd week to take him off Farmers Dog.  After 3 days, his diarrhea had completely subsided.  Although Farmers Dog is clearly a quality product, it is not for every dog.  Their customer service is absolutely phenomenal, as well !


My dog loves the food. She adapted with it very fast and very well, and this company has the best customer service ever. I totally recommend.
