The Farmer's DogReviews of thefarmersdog.com

I will update again as I give them more time, but had to jump on here because I am either witnessing a miracle or this food is already making a huge difference. I have 2 senior 70 lb bully dogs, so the decision to make this investment didn't come lightly after the year of vet bills I've had. So in day 5 of 50/50 old/new food transitioning here goes... Nola B has Valley Fever. While she had started to improve her appetite was still off and energy low. This morning she just did wild zoomies all around the back yard! I haven't seen that in a year. And she cleans her bowl. Cosmo is a 12 year old rescue with a LOT of medical issues. The last month his arthritis has progressed to what looks like a neuro issue with foot drag. I've had to use a walking aid sling to help him get out back to go potty. He just stood up on his own and walked all the way out back. I have made no other changes, it has to be the food. I didn't not expect to see results so fast.

I have contacted customer service numerous times to address the issues of delivery to work with my schedule so I can ensure I receive the fresh food when I am home secondary to work constraints. After 3 phone calls, I spoke with someone who noted that we circumvented the problem. My deliveries started routinely arriving on days when I was home. Then, slowly the days kept being pushed back until again, I am never home when the perishable food arrives. I cancelled the subscription but still another box of food was sent and will not be delivered as my mail is on hold for vacation. When contacting the company, I was told this was my fault that the food will be delivered after the dry ice has long since evaporated. Would you not think that when you cancel a subscription, it is cancelled? I am now at a loss of $180. With respect to their food choices, my dogs refused to eat the chicken formulation. Both of my dogs would rather not eat for day instead of eating it. I lost so much money with these packs in my freezer.

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.

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.

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.

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...

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!

Bought a customized meal plan and it looks the same as all of the other meals they have to offer. Delivered semi-frozen and quickly put into my freezer. Started a few days later with 1/4 of the Turkey recipe and my dog now has severe gastritis, diarreah and mucoid tinged with blood for 5 days straight: up 3 times a night to go out and squatting with only mucous tinged with blood. Took pup to the ER and is on antibiotics and probiotics and now on plain boiled chicken and rice. Traumatized my entire household as we’ve never seen our dog sick like this. Mucous leaking from his anus when he urinates. I complained to their customer service and they refunded me but when I brought up the vet bill they asked for a letter from tge the vet to pinpoint exactly that the food caused the issue and want to be able to call the vet to discuss. Outrageous! NEVER EVER buy this product for your dog.
