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.

No being should ever have to endure a diagnosis like this, but we're glad our recipes have helped your dog regain her strength and find her appetite. Sending all of our love to her as she continues to fight this battle. Thanks so much, Bernadette 🧡

Their website requires all this info…
Their website requires all this info just to get a quote. Why can't they just make it simple and easy? That already sends up red flags. Additionally, be prepared to spend $8 to $20 a day! Yes you read that correctly, $8 to $20 a day to feed your dog. Who can afford that? I guess this website was designed for the rich

20 bucks feeds my dog all week
Ok first of all I havnt tried this and never will . If you look at the company’s and MEDIA outlets promoting this service you will soon realize these reviews are correct but you will have to be your on judge . I’m a dog breaded and lover and I make all my own dog food it’s cheap and very good . Boiled chicken with carrots peas and sweet potatoes is all you have to do . I made FIVE pounds for 20 bucks and so can you don’t waste your money

Hey Chris! We think it's awesome that you're able to prepare fresh food at home for your dog. This can be a great option as long as the meals are properly balanced with the right vitamins and minerals a dog needs to thrive. If you aren't already using one, check out our DIY nutrient packs at thefarmersdog.com/DIY.
That being said, home-cooking well-balanced meals can often take time and resources - a luxury not everyone has! That's why we've developed our recipes with multiple ACVN board-certified vet nutritionists. This ensures that our food exceeds AAFCO standards, taking the guesswork out of dinnertime and conveniently delivering fresh food right to your door. If we can help answer any additional questions, please email us at [email protected].

I had been a huge fan of The Farmer's…
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.

Hi Margaret! Thanks for taking the time to share your experience. We're so sorry to hear that your dog lost interest in his fresh recipes. Have you tried mixing in a little warm water, bone broth or even parmesan cheese and fluffing the food with a fork before serving? This can sometimes can make a world of difference for picky eaters. We hope it's reassuring to know that we only use a small amount of fish oil in our recipes - just enough to meet EPA, DHA, and AAFCO standards. That said, our team would love to further dig into what you're experiencing to ensure these recipes are up to our standards. Please email us at [email protected] - we're here to help!

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!

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 😊
