I was getting our Dog Food from The Farmer’s Dog for a couple of years. Recently the company changed to a second rate delivery service (OnTrac) who delivered this perishable food to the wrong house. I don’t recognize it as any house in my neighborhood. Would no longer recommend anyone buying from The Farmer’s Dog anymore. So sad!

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.

My senior pup was having lots of digestive issues with her previous food. Ever since I changed her food to the farmer’s dog her digestive system has improved tremendously! :)

Our dog absolutely loves this food. He is an older rescue dog with some medical conditions. He is much more energetic. No digestive issues & breath is greatly improved. I no longer have to coax him to eat. He now comes to me to let me know it is dinner time! Deliveries are prompt & timely. The customer staff couldn’t be nicer.

After first ordering the trail size I continued to keep the orders coming. For several month I noticed my German Shepherd who had weighed 92 pound lost weight. He started vomiting and had diarrhea. He was taken to the vet for exam and thought he may be allergic to whatever ingredients where in the food. However there is no list of ingredients listed on the single package. I contacted the FDA as far as labeling goes and Pet Food requires that the ingredients be listed on the label. Calling it Human grade food does not release them from listing the ingredients on the Label. Aside from most of the time it arrived thawed out and not frozen and told that was ok to use and refreeze. Hi Peter The Farmer's Dog would love to understand your experience better, so they’ve asked for more details about your review—like an order number or email. If we don’t hear from you within 3 days, your review may be taken offline. Add review details 9/24/2023, I added a photo of the food pack. Now they want me to upload a copy of a valid state issued ID. You have to be kidding, all this for a review because it is a negative one? Update 9/25/23, Labeling Federal regulations require ingredients be listed on the product label by their common or usual name in descending order of predominance according to weight (21 CFR 501.4). A common or usual name is one that accurately identifies or describes the basic nature of the ingredient (21 CFR 502.5). FDA has recognized the definitions as they appear in the Official Publication of AAFCO as the common or usual name for animal food ingredients including pet food (Compliance Policy Guide 665.100). There is only one exception to the requirement to list the common or usual name on the label--it is when the ingredient is part of a collective name (term). Regulation 21 CFR 501.110 describes the use of collective names. The following are acceptable collective names: animal protein products, forage products, grain products, plant protein products, processed grain by-products, and roughage products. These collective names may be used in the ingredient list for livestock and poultry feeds, but not pet foods.

I tried The farmers dog over six months ago, but did not continue. Not due to any issues, I’ve just been trying other brands. Recently, I called to restart my subscription, I explained that it was only for my Goldendoodle,Stewie, as my little dog, Stevie had been killed by coyotes. Two weeks later a beautiful house plant arrived with their condolences. I was shocked as I never expected anything like that from a company. I was not a long term customer and I am overwhelmed by there kind gesture. The Farmers Dog really cares!

My 9 year old Cocker Spaniel was absolutely transformed back into a 5 year old since starting the farmers dog. Before feeding her this (she’s been on it a little less than a year), she was having a hard time jumping on the couch, moving slower, less excited & playful, and she had a big eye tumor growing. Since being on the farmers dog she has incredible energy, jumps not only on the couch but onto the higher bed even, AND her eye tumor is completely gone. She’s been so much more energetic, got back into playing and running, and even her coat is sooo much softer. Now for the eye tumor, I can’t 100% say that it’s from the farmers dog obviously, but what are the chances that she had that for a while and her eyes were pretty cloudy on top of the tumor, and then after a few weeks of eating the farmers dog they completely cleared up? I’m convinced it has to have something to do with feeding her real and nutritious food. I couldn’t recommend this food enough. If you want your dog to live a much longer and fuller life, please for them make the switch. A huge thank you to the Farmers Dog for giving me my playful pup back!!

I have been feeding Farmer's Dog to my 2 yo Golden Retriever for a few months now, he definitely was absorbing nutrients more than on his previous kibble. The last shipment of Farmer's Dog we received was completely defrosted, and even though they state you can "freeze it again and it's safe" our dog has been sick ever since we started feeding him the bad batch. Upon contacting the customer service of Farmer's Dog, we heard back that it's not their fault and there is nothing they can do as long as 1 pack out of the 19 was even one bit frozen then it's all good in their mind. That's how they care about their customers and dogs. Thanks for basically sending me a spoiled $200 batch of food. Will be switching to a brand that definitely cares more about the dogs that are eating their food.
