this is the one food that my puppy always instantly liked. At one point, I served only it - and later, I started using it as a treat/supplement to an air-dried food. But a real reason for the 5 stars is the customer service. I get a text from Casey every time an order has been delivered. And once, when the order was inadvertently delivered behind my building in the alley (and then someone else picked it up), Casey saw that a replacement shipment was sent within 2 days - at no additional cost to me. He responds immediately to texts and is kind, supportive and quite helpful. You can’t beat that kind of customer service.

Healthy pup, happy me
I tried this on a whim, after endless searching for the best dog food for my new pup. She never really liked dry food and had insanely bad GI issues on Hills Science Diet and Purina Pro Plan (brands friends and vets and everyone was reccomending to me). I decided to give Farmers Dog a try after realizing that a raw diet was just not in my cards to do for her right now. And she loves it! She licks the entire bowl clean and is always full. The packages come right on time, you can customize how frequently you need it, you can reschedule if something pops up, they send you texts/emails to remind you of the next box, and she loves all 4 recipes. The only thing to consider is the cost, but the trial box was 50% off and I'll take paying more for my dogs food if that means her GI issues arent a problem anymore. She has a shiny coat, endless energy, great teeth, and perfect poops on this food. Thank god honestly, it can be so hard to figure out what food works best for your pup.

You just can't beat a clean bowl and a full, happy belly! We're thrilled that you decided to give our recipes a try with your puppy, Selma. It sounds like fresh food was exactly what she needed. Looking forward to spending many more mealtimes together!

Totally worth it
Wow. What a difference this food makes in how I feel when I feed my dog--which is NOT GUILTY. First off, it seems expensive, but it's not really. I was feeding my dog 2 cans of "healthy" food at $2.50 each per day--and you can easily find canned food for well over $3 per day. So if you are one of those people who thinks you are feeding your dog premium food because it's expensive, you should definitely switch. I pay just over $5 a day to feed her Farmer's Dog. I think people think it's expensive because they feel they need to feed their dog a lot of food. You don't. Stick to the recommended portioning. Farmer's Dog says dogs drink less water eating FDog, due to the high water and nutrient content of the food. I have found that to be the case as well, which makes me wonder why she needed to drink so much eating canned food--to many carbs? Sometimes I add a little hot water and make it into a stew, which she loves. I do think my dog wants to eat more and may feel a little hungry at times, but I do give her treats just about every day so it balances out, and it's not like she's dropping a lot of weight. Bottom line, Farmers is not that much more expensive than any "grain free" or "wholesome" canned food daily serving and is far far better as you can tell by the poops, which are clean and no longer runny nor smelly. My dog just seems to have more energy, is excited to eat and doesn't leave her food sitting out all day because it has no flavor. Only issue is now she thinks whenever I am in the kitchen I am making her Farmer's Dog. Finally, delivery is reliable, food arrives solidly frozen, easy to store flat in freezer. Now if only they made cat food...

We love Farmer's Dog!
I have used Farmer's Dog for my Chinese Crested/Pomeranian mix since March 2023. After the first two days eating this food, my dog had more energy. She was a very picky eater, but not with Farmer's Dog meals. Shipments have always been on time and the meals were always frozen. Customer service is excellent; they are very flexible and are eager to help if there is a problem. It is a little more expensive, but I used to throw out so much food that she refused to eat. Now she still eats well, and poops less, which tells me there are much less 'fillers' in the food. My dog will be 13 in February, but still moves like a puppy at times. I highly recommend Farmer's Dog!
Response from The Farmer's DogNov 8, 2023
The days of throwing out uneaten food are behind you! It's amazing to hear that our fresh recipes have helped crack the code to your picky eater. A happy dog, a full belly and high quality poops are what we're all about. Hope her 13th year is the best one yet 😊

Milo and Luna have spoken
Milo and Luna have spoken, and their love for Farmer's Dog is nothing short of heartwarming. Right from the start, their enthusiastic appetite for this food speaks volumes. It's not often our furry companions are so eager to enjoy their meals, and the fact that they're not just eating but eagerly waiting for their Farmer's Dog meals is a testament to the quality and taste that this food offers.
Luna's newfound morning enthusiasm is a clear indicator of how much they adore this food. It's amazing to witness how quickly they've embraced it. I would like to highlight the importance of listening to our pets' preferences. Just like humans, they have their own unique tastes and instincts when it comes to what's best for them. It's clear that Milo and Luna have made their choice, and Farmer's Dog is the clear winner in their eyes. Here's to many more happy and healthy mealtimes for your beloved furry friends!

What an honor to be Milo and Luna's favorite! We absolutely love hearing about the joy each meal brings and we're looking forward to many more happy moments with these two 🥰

I feed my dogs Farmer's Dog and they…
I feed my dogs Farmer's Dog and they love it. One of my daughter's ( my fur Baby Lilly) passed away last week and I just received a house plant with their condolences. That was not expected at all. It is so appreciated. I thank you very much for that.
Response from The Farmer's DogOct 12, 2023
We know nothing could replace the love Lilly gave, but we just hope the plant brought a smile to your face during the difficult time! Sending our best to you and your pups 🧡

My dog loved the food
My dog loved the food! Her favorite was the turkey.
They were great to work with, after the initial shipment that called to make sure everything was perfect. After the initial meals were sent to us, I felt like Izzy was not receiving enough food. When they reached out with the phone call, I told them of my concerns and they fixed it right away and sent me additional food.
I did just cancel recently due to Izzy’s cancer accelerated. My concern that I would have a bunch of dog food left over once Izzy passes. It was very easy to cancel.
They sent me a sympathy card for Isabella. They really care about what they are doing and how they do it!
Response from The Farmer's DogOct 12, 2023
We absolutely loved getting to be a part of Izzy's journey and were so sorry to hear about the progression of her cancer. Please know we're keeping you in our thoughts and are always here for anything you may need in the future 🧡

We will forever be using Farmer’s Dog…
Farmer’s Dog food has made a tremendous difference in my dog’s health and vitality. I started my dog on this wonderful food when she was 11yrs old. You could see she was getting old in how she moved. She is now 13yrs old and people think she’s a puppy. She’s got a pep in her step, and she lost weight. I’m so glad I decided to try this product. It’s amazing. I’ve also gotten 4 other dog parents using it!
Response from The Farmer's DogOct 12, 2023
All it takes is some fresh food and suddenly you have a puppy on your hands again! You just can't beat that improvement in energy and healthier weight. We feel so grateful to have you in The Farmer's Dog family, Brenda. Thanks for helping us spread the word 😊
