The Farmer's Dog Reviews 

I called farmers dog to complain about the increase in cost and all the bad issues with their food! I got a terrible response from their employee, Loud mouth would not give me a chance to say anything for most of the call. I told her I would be closing my account then sends me a email

Hi Larry, I'm so sorry to hear this! To confirm, I've gone ahead and canceled Cookie's plan, so you won’t be charged for any future orders unless we hear otherw

I believe our dog died after starting Farmer's dog. Went from completely healthy except needing to lose a couple of pounds. We switched because we thought we were getting her on a healthier diet but she lost 9 lbs in two months and I think that was too much too quick and and then passed while taking a nap.

My dog loves this food but that's not saying much since she also eats out of trash cans any chance she gets. What I don't like about this company is their overly complicated select / order / auto-renew system. They want to send the amount of food they think your dog needs at the frequency they think is right. The customer seems to have little to no control over how much you buy when. I finally discontinued. It's so much easier to buy quality food for dogs in a store and bring it home when you want to.

We started our 5 month old female poodle, Sadie, on this food and she is doing great for the past months. Gained 4 lbs, lots of energy. Gobbles it down 3x per day.

They have steadily increased my dog’s food price over the years. I have a 4 pound mini dachshund and his monthly food order is now $256 a MONTH!
Started out at under $150 monthly. This is ridiculous! I’m done with them
Plus my dog has lost 17 teeth from his past two dentals and my vet blamed it on the food and said she’s had other patients dealing with tooth loss as well that are on Farmers Dog.

My dogs Tobey and Charlie LOVE The Farmer’s Dog food
It’s always fresh and delicious and the customer service is amazing! Thank you so much for all you do

My 9 year old Doberman was diagnosed with hemorrhagic gastroenteritis. After spending over $5,000 in vet bills I had to change her food from dry to home made boiled chicken, salmon, rice, and broth. I spent every Sunday afternoon cooking up her weekly meals. Once I figured out how much I was spending (not to mention my time) I found Farmer’s Dog. Some people think it’s expensive but I figured out how much I was spending buying the ingredients and making the meals myself and it was less than what I was spending. She has been on Farmer’s Dog for almost a year now and is doing great. She is 9 years old going on 2 ! She acts like the puppy she once was. No gastrointestinal issues at all. She is a Farmer’s Dog for life !

The food is much enjoyed by my dogs. Unfortunately over and over my 100 lb order is left in mailroom. It costs more than $200 yet they use OnTrac for deliveries. I have asked them to leave at my front door. Their carrier doesn’t follow instructions. I can’t carry the box. Food wasted. Have to find a new dog food company

“Coco has completed her 2-week trial of The Farmers Dog, and she immediately loved the food. My biggest problem is NOT feeding her too much. She’s only 4.5 lb chihuahua, but she paws at her food bowl every few hours for more. Chihuahuas are known for ‘spinning’ when they’re excited, and that’s exactly what she does when she realizes I’m getting her meal ready. She never did that with her other food. She’s naturally full of energy since she’s only a year old, but I noticed within a couple days her energy increased even more. I certainly wasn’t expecting such a reaction, but am thrilled with the results.”

Farmer's Dog is an excellent dog food!! And excellent customer service!! The food is high quality. Also, my dog Rocky passed away with liver cancer and on his last days he was eating Farmer's dog food and it was the only food that his body accepted. Thank you Farmer's dog for the plant that I received on the name of my beloved dog Rocky who passed away.
Thank you again!

I know we always hear “ This is the best or that is the best” But I am here to tell you, hands down, this is the best dog food period for your dog!! My Teddy wouldn’t eat anything, no matter how expensive, what I bought or what I cooked him and I was desperate, I seen the Farmers Dog commercial one day ” and said what have I got to lose, he has to eat something, I ordered according to his plan and it was love at first bite. I literally teared up when he finished his plate and he was so happy and the treats, oh he owns it, only ones he has ever eaten. Thank you Farmers Dog so much from me and Teddy for making him happy and healthy, We’re here forever!!💕💕

I have two cavipoos with sensitive stomachs and they are two years old. It has been very rough finding something they will eat. I wish I would have ordered Farmer’s Dog earlier. They are eating, happy, and healthy!!! Thank you so much!!!

We’ve been 3 year customers feeding Farmers Dog everyday to our dog.

They recently increased prices by 12%, which is a massive hike. The increase itself would be understandable (the magnitude can be debated) but the worst part is that they launched fresh+grain recipe for 3 out of 4 (beef, pork, and chicken) but conveniently left out turkey - the food we’ve been feeding for 3 years consistently due to sensitive stomach other foods don’t work.

So now the prices are 12% higher and the lower priced option is not available to us.

We will be trying chicken+grain to see if that could maybe work but this price increase rollout was executed with non regards to customers like us who depend on there recipe. I have no idea why it’s difficult to mix turkey and grain while it’s possible to mix it with all other options.

I think this is Farmers Dog getting complacent and believe that dog parents won’t switch under any circumstances.

I have been using The Farmer's Dog for almost 9 years now. When I first adopted my dog, she wouldn't eat anything and I tried everything. I saw The Farmer's Dog online and decided to give them a try. It was the beginning of a wonderful healthy life for my dog Akira. When I adopted her, she was underweight and her coat was dull and frail. She just looked so sad. After feeding her The Farmer's Dog, her wait came up to normal and the vet is impressed with her health and luster of her coat. He even asked me what I was feeding her. I told him. :) Through no fault of The Farmers Dog, we have only had 2 issues with delivery of her food due to storms and they were on top of it. The first time, they saw it was taking longer than normal to arrive at my house and reached out to me about it. They immediately sent me a new box and it arrived just the day after the first one that was defrosted and not so good looking. So Akira did not go without her food. The second time was just this year when we had the big ice storms in Texas and they reached out again saying there may be delays in shipment due to the storms and they even sent me recipes that I could make at home until they could get it out to me. I keep a 7 day stash in the freezer so we did not have to resort to making those recipes but I really appreciate The Farmer's Dog communication, dedication and eagerness to help and make sure that my baby girl is properly fed. I would recommend everyone switching to Farmer's Dog. My dog is now coming up on 10 and she is still going on 3 mile hikes with me every day, her coat is still shiny and her health is doing great with no issues. This food is a game changer in the world of dog food and your pets healthy longevity.

Our two dogs were unhealthy and overweight. Since turning to farmers ( we make the food and use their nutrition packets Our big girl has dropped 18 pounds and doesn’t have joint pain and her coat is so much better. We saw results quickly. Also we were surprised when our other small dog passed of natural old age we received a condolence card and plant from Farmers Dog. It made us smile that a company showed compassion.

Lani was my customer service rep and she was most helpful. I found her friendly, knowledgeable about my questions, and competent, as she obtained the necessary information and made the entire process much easier. Give this woman a raise!!

I don’t normally go out of my way to leave reviews, but The Farmer’s Dog has earned it.

Their customer support has been excellent. Every question I’ve had has been answered quickly and thoroughly, and I’ve always felt taken seriously.

The biggest difference, though, has been in my dogs. They’ve lost weight, their joints seem better, and their energy is noticeably higher. They’re not just surviving, they’re thriving.

And here’s the surprising part: my black lab is incredibly picky and usually gets bored with food fast. He hasn’t gotten bored once with The Farmer’s Dog.

I’ve seen mixed reviews, and I can’t speak for anyone else. No brand is perfect. But after doing my research and comparing several options, this one stood out for quality and standards. For our family, it’s been worth it.

Highly recommend.

Farmers Dog support is always pleasant and very helpful. Now that we only have one 13 pound dachshund, the single frozen bag offers too much food after it’s thawed out. We are receiving a few of the new protein (chicken and beef) with oats in stead of Lintels. We hope the food is more Chunky and not so slimy. I hope Farmers Dog freeze dried versions where you add water will be introduced soon. There will have less waste and much easier to store. Frozen is ok but the logistics of shipping delivery and storing frozen dog food is a pain. We constantly have to move things around in freezer.

Customer service has much to be desired!

They can’t get the delivery days correct!
Dozens of emails & texts requesting no Friday or Saturday deliveries because no one is home.

Don’t ever expect customer service to do what they promise to do !

My dog loves the food

Angel, the customer service person who helped me, did an amazing job. They were very knowledgeable and friendly!
