My 7 month old Maltipoo (Andy) never liked his kibble.
I had to add sweet potatoes (organic baby food)
to make it taste better for him.
I saw Farmers Dog on Facebook and decided to give it a try.
Andy loves it.... he gulps it down and cleans the bowl until it is spotless. This is a huge win for my precious puppy and I. It is so great to see him enjoy his food!
He also had no problem transitioning from his kibble to Farmers Dog.
I cant say enough...highly recommend!
Thank you!

We'd love to see that clean bowl one day, we bet it's sparkling! Way to go Andy ❤️ Be sure to keep us updated along the way, thank you Judith!

What's better than a Whole Food diet?
I feel good that I am feeding my girl the best food I can find. I am trying to adopt a "whole food" diet for my family and that is what it feels like I am doing for Ella, as well.
Response from The Farmer's DogFeb 2, 2022
Yes! Nothing better than fresh meat and vegetables 🥕 Thank you for your support, Michelle, and tell Ella we say hello!

SO WORTH IT!!!
I have 2 pugs - 6 and 11. They have been horribly picky eaters their entire lives- but still overweight. The younger is also plagued by horrible allergies- pills daily and shots monthly. I decided to give the Farmers Dog a try. Omg! What a difference. Like on the commercial, they jump up and run around when I’m preparing their meals. (Who are these dogs??) Allergy shot is due soon - this is when he really starts itching, but he’s not!!! It truly is amazing. We stopped his pills and will skip his shots. This is after just two weeks! Expensive? Yes, but it is SO WORTH it to see my dogs happy, with shiny coats and NOT ITCHING! We’ll weigh them after a month, but we are anticipating weight loss along with the other benefits. Thank you for your product!!!

Wow! What an amazing turnaround in your dog's allergies. We understand how difficult the discomfort can be both in experiencing and treating skin allergies and it means so much to know your dogs are both doing so well. Thank you, Carolyn!

If I could give 100 stars I would
If I could give 100 stars I would. I have written a review before but I feel I really should write one again. My 12 year old chihuahua is so fussy. Won’t eat a thing it worries me. We recently moved and he lost weight. Went down to 3 lbs from 4 lbs
I quickly let farmers dog know and they were on to it. Increased his calorie intake by 15%. I also discovered he would only eat the turkey after ordering a mix of diff meats. The customer service was nice enough to refund me what we couldn’t eat and put a rush on the food order. Also gave me a recipe to make my own donut didn’t come in time. They are always quick to respond and very very helpful. They love what they are doing and truly look out for their customers and their pets it gives me great comfort in knowing they are always there for us !! You won’t be disappointed in the food or this company !!!

I have a VERY FINICKY Mini Schnauzer
I have a VERY FINICKY Mini Schnauzer, I bought everything from most expensive to cooking him food and on most days he turned his nose up to it. So I thought why not try Framers Dog, do the trial and see how it goes. For the first time in the 10 years I’ve had Milo it’s the first time he has consistently not only ate his food but asks for it! And so far customer service has been great. Contacting me to see how things are going and making sure I don’t under order or overstock his food. We are hooked on this food and service!

Everything we do, we do for dogs like yours, Ellis! We know firsthand how tricky it can be when your dog isn't enjoying meal time and we're thrilled to hear he's asking for his food now. Give him some extra love from us today 🧡

Wow just wow!!!!
Wow just wow!!!!! The Farmers Dog is amazing!!!! I have a Bichon Poodle, 18 months old. I have her since she was 3 months old. Hope is my little powder puff. She is not only a pretty white with some apricot she has the cutest personality, and such a good girl. There was one thing I had to fix, her finicky appetite! I tried everything. The best food there is. I had to add Meal Mixers to everything. She would eat the meal mixers and leave the food. I started cooking for her, she liked what we ate lol. I cut out treats, I was beside myself, then I saw The Farmers Dog!!!! She gobbled it up. Hope is very healthy with a beautiful coat, 14 1/2 lbs of powder puff lol and I wanted to keep her healthy so I tried the sample they offered. Hope is hooked, and so am I. It’s The Farmer’s Dog for our house from now on. It’s real food and veggies (like we eat) with a multitude of vitamins! The representatives are so nice and helpful, they get back to you right away. They are extremely professional. Great company, great food!!!! The food is prepared with her name on the bags and the recipe. It comes in a freezer box, and a surprise insulated bag for on the go meals. I couldn’t be happier! I told Hope’s vet, he said it’s the best food around. I told Hope’s groomer, she said she just started giving it to her 2 dogs! Thank you The Farmer’s Dog, you have made Hope and I very happy, and her Daddy 😊

Amazing Product, Amazing Service
We were turned on to Farmers Dog because one of our parents' dog used this food. We planned to give it to our new pup when she was 'old enough'. We got our 8 week old Morkie from the breeder with instructions to give their kibble and transition them slowly after a month or so. Except our puppy wouldn't eat the kibble provided - she was so small, we were keeping her levels up with NutriStat. She simply wouldn't eat. We came to find out later, she was 'weaned' from her mom the day we picked her up - so we were given a puppy that had never not eaten from her momma. Well, we had already received our trial delivery from Farmers' Dog and so we had nothing to do and set it down in front of her. She gobbled it up - fast. She didn't eat much because she weighed just 1 lb so our trial pack lasted for a long time, but it was the only food she ate. And she loved it. She was pooping fine, with solid healthy stools. She was thriving and playful and she was gaining weight. At her 3 week (after we got her) checkup, she was already up to 1.8 lbs and she was loving her food. It's been fantastic.
And let me say a word about the service. Because I read a review on her that it's poor. And I can't imagine how that reviewing got the experience. We have received nothing but exceptional service. We got a standard shipping text for her next box and I replied that the dry ice was gone. I was quickly followed up with ways to make sure it was ok and they gave my tips in case it wasn't. Through text, I was checked on and our dog's diet was reviewed thoroughly since she never 'transitioned' from another food. They have asked for pictures of our dog. They work with us on timing (it's so easy to change the delivery date on the website in your account) because she's so small, she eats less than their least recommended portions (1/4 bag per day). She now eats about that, but again, you can change your shipment dates and your dog's size and body shape easily.
I have no doubt that if I had questions about anything, there is a team there to help me and my puppy. I love our dog more than anything and would never give her anything (especially at a price that is slightly higher than dry food...and I will say more about that later) that would be harmful to her. Ever. I research and investigate. I ask questions and I....very important...check with her vet. This food, this service is fantastic. I do truly feel they have my interest as a dog parent and my dog's interest first and foremost.
The cost - yes, it's on the high end - I admit that and especially so if you have a large dog that consumes a lot. But I feel the health benefits outweigh that. Our vet is amazed at her progress (she was a premie and runt of the litter) and how her food is sustaining her. It 'may' reduce future vet bills...I can't say that definitively at this point, but I can say that she is eating well, healthy and seems to be thriving. And to know I have good service and people that stand behind the product. I have no doubt, that if our puppy needed something different, they would help me transition her out, even if that meant losing business because they care about pets. But I don't think I have to worry about that. Our dog is doing great - we love the service - and all is well. This is a good thing for your dog....truly.

Dog Food is Great, Customer Service Tastes Bad!
Updated Review 02/07/2022
I'll agree with others that the lapse in shipment is bad. They are prompt to get their payment but the shipment will reach you when it reaches you.
I'm consistently running out of food and I think they should remove their timer letting you know when you are running out because their food will never get to you before you run out so it just is annoying.
The fact you run out and then you risk making your dog sick because you have to swap to different food. I've been out for 3 days now.
Their support gives you little to no option, the only way to avoid their poor shipping is to buy a few weeks extra food to counter their shipping.
prior review
I've been using The Farmer's Dog for probably almost a year now. The product is great but the support is horrible.
When I first started out the support was great. I rarely needed them but they would make claims left and right about how awesome of service they provide, until you need it.
I have to try to figure out when I'm being billed and the best guess that they provide is "It's usually the Thursday before the time you should expect your order"
Very grey area.
They also claim that if you are cutting it close to let tthem know and they'll get you a small but quick shipment to help you cover your needs, which is not true. They send you a link to a page on how to make your own food.
honestly, I actually looked at that page and it's pretty similiar and cheaper then buying their food so I talked to a vet and almost considered just making my own dogs food. It beats their poor customer service.
