It's a decent service I guess, my Beagle likes the food but has not helped her allergies. She also seems to have a never ending hunger and wants more than what the plan allows. She is not active, but clearly does not get satisfied even having the plan split in two servings per day. Food so far has mostly arrived just in time. Some of that is I was not updating how many pouches I had left to better judge next delivery. No doubt the service is one that focuses on providing a good variety of food for your dog. But for me the cost is always a consideration and at $100 a month I don't know that I find it worthy enough to keep it in my budget.

My dogs loved this stuff...a little too much. They became addicted to it and every night I had to wake up to feed them. They were never satisfied and they were waking me up earlier and earlier to eat this stuff. It was crazy. We joked they put crack in it. My chihuahua is overweight and on a diet now. Although the food is individually packaged, its easy to accidentally overfeed them with the pouches.

My last 3 orders have all cost more, each time. When I contacted customer service, they said they cannot find my account to cancel... But are able to still keep charging me. Update 11/9/23: I was contacted asking to provide more info, or my review would be taken down. Requested info was provided Update 11/10/23: Customer service did reach out to me via phone and email, that does carry weight regarding their service level and was appreciated. I will be raising my review from 1 star to 4 due to this fact. I have nothing bad to say about their product, I think they are doing a great thing. I unfortunately had a bad experience partially due to my misunderstanding of their service and a poor encounter with customer service to begin with. They have remedied the customer service issues.

This food has made so much of a difference in my dogs life. 6 months ago when I got the free trial of the farmers dog it seemed like a last resort. Right before, my dog was diagnosed with leukemia, she lost tons of weight, was refusing to eat, and I thought that she would be gone in weeks. We started doing chemo treatments and I was trying everything to get her to eat. She kept refusing, so I ordered the trial of the farmers dog. Let me tell you, this girl LOVES THIS FOOD. Through chemo treatments and a well-balanced diet....she's doing the best that she can. She actually gained weight, has so much energy, and if you didn't know what her bloodwork looked like, you wouldn't think she was sick. Thank you for caring so much about our furry family.

I had been a huge fan of The Farmer's Dog, and I believed that their product would be an amazing choice for my Toy Sized Mini Schnauzer. As a new puppy I decided to give this food instead of “puppy food” because I believed that he would grow and develop very healthy. BUT, By my third order, my dog did not want to eat the chicken formula. (They had changed the recipe and I thought that would explain it.) However, one by one, my dog started walking away from the different formulas.I tried everything they suggested to get him eating the food. I found that adding a little freshly cooked, hamburger, steak. Pork loin, or eggs would get him eating some, but he was crafty about picking out the added goodies. Anyway It sort of defeats the purpose of paying for this expensive food if I have to cook something to add to it. His favorite food was the Pork recipe, and my last order was both the pork and Turkey recipe.But, He just won’t eat it. My last order was August 26, 2023, Today is October17, and I still have 15 packs left. I still try to get him eating it and he will take a couple bites if I hand feed it. Incidentally , I noticed that while hand feeding, the food leaves a thick. Greasy film on my fingers that is very difficult to wash out. (?Fish Oil?)I’m wondering if this food also leaves a thick coating on his throat? Although this food did not work out for me and my tiny dog, I still believe that it is the healthiest choice for your dog, albeit expensive. I still have 15 packages left and I will keep trying, But I just can’t continue buying an expensive food that he just won’t eat. If the farmers dog company decides to try making a formula for picky little eaters. I would certainly be in line to give that a try. I think removing the Fish oil would be a good step. Margaret H Reply to FARMERS DOG comment. Even though it is only a small amount of fish oil, remember who your target audience is: the most incredible noses in the world.

I have a 5lb chihuahua. She’s a senior dog. She wouldn't eat standard store bought food consistently. I was always having to add something to it and even then she barely wanted to eat. Only did because she had to. Now, since on the farmers dog plan, Chloe eats every meal. She enjoys it. He coat is nicer, her activities are up and she’s happier overall. The only reason I have not given 5 stars is because it’s expensive. I’d like to see a plan that costs less if I subscribe longer. Thanks Farmers Dog. Don’t change the recipe or I’m out.

Very good quality food, by far the best customer service from all the human grade food companies. The app is easy to navigate. I like how the package is thing making it easier to store and thaw compared to pet plate and nomnom. I wish the package didnt require scissors to open like nomnom. The only negative is that they didn’t take in consideration that I was feeding a puppy and after a lot of research I realized I had been under feeding my dog by a lot… But for an adult dog it is probably great, they recommend lower calories compared to nomnom and petplate when anseering very similar questionnaires. The puppy part is the only adaptation they need to make better. I have only cancelled because I am transitioning my dog to raw food as I am leaning more towards the theory that dogs are carnivores and not omnivores as farmers dog believes. Compared to per plate and nomnom, it it was my favorite.

Four good meat options; chicken, beef, turkey, and pork. My dog has a very fragile stomach in his older age and he took to Farmers Dog within 48 hours his poops were regular again. He absolutely loves his chicken and beef!
