We used to cook for our dog but as the symptoms of Cushings’disease progressed, we started a subscription with the Farmer’s Dog. They consistently delivered quality on time with great customer services. Unfortunately, our little angel, Lucky, passed away (Oct 27) due to complications and we cancelled our subscription. The company refunded our last shipment as it arrived just as Lucky passed and sent a beautiful plant we keep in Lucky’s memory next to his bed. We will certainly rescue another dog in the future and will continue to be a Farmer’s Dog customer.

Hi Lenaa,

Leo and Benny

We started The Farmer’s Dog almost 2 years ago. We have a Chiweenie and a Boston terrier. My Chiweenie was a roughly 4 years old when we started he wasn’t real active overweight, and maybe not really pleasant to be around according to my neighbor lol. We started The Farmer’s Dog and my Chiweenie named Ben came to life. He would run around. He had a smile on his face and he all felt wonderful. Leo our Boston also was even more energetic and happy. Now they both wear smiles on their face all the time can’t wait to eat, and I am just so grateful that they are living their best live lives. You can tell they feel amazing. My neighbor even thought Ben was an old dog and he wasn’t. So keep up the good work and thank you so much for all that you do.

Thank you for your review! It’s wonderful to hear how much Ben and Leo have thrived over the past couple of years. When dogs show more energy, enthusiasm, and those big daily “smiles,” it really does say a lot about how they’re feeling. We’re grateful you’ve trusted us with their meals and glad the switch helped them feel their best 🐾

Inconvenient, expensive and the dog hates it

First off, it's very expensive. Also, we found the food inconvenient because of the freezer space required. The fact that the packaging is non-resealable is really bad for us. Also, and this is the most important one, the dog absolutely hates it. He would rather starve them eat it.

We truly appreciate you reaching out about your recent experience, Svetlana. We understand your concern about pricing and storage, and we can share that we have different pack sizes and order sizes to help with how many packs come per shipment, which reflects our pricing model. This approach allows us to minimize waste and maintain cost-effectiveness in packing and shipping for our customers.

That being said, we also understand that every dog is different, and some may take longer to warm up to a new food source than others. We hope it's reassuring to know that we have several tried-and-true tips to help! Please send us an email at care@thefarmersdog.com, and one of our specialists would be happy to assist — we're here for you!

Blood loss from throwing up and passing through rectum.

This nearly killed our dog within a month! Have $1,000 of dollars in vet bills! It wasn’t the first they have seen it in their food. This comment will be deleted like the others. But we nearly lost our baby. He was throwing up and pooping blood at the same time! Their solution refund us all the orders. Just offering such a solution shows they do not even care about the animals they claim to cater to. DO NOT BUY! The smaller the dog the faster the ill-effects happened, this is a quote from our vet. Our dog suffers from separation anxiety. For him to be hospitalized for 3 days was just awful. The vet was kind enough to let us come visit during his treatments. I REPEAT DO NOT BUY ESPECIALLY IF YOU HAVE A SMALL BREED DOG.

My terrier mix has had very itchy skin his entire life. I rescued him when he was about two, and have had him eight years. I had him allergy tested and went to great lengths to find dog food that he wasn't allergic to. I put him on the one food I could find, but even with that he still had to be on a prescription for allergies all these years or he would literally scratch and chew himself until he bled.

I decided to try homemade dog food but I wasn’t sure where to start. I found Farmer’s dog and started him on the DIY program.

Since he has been on the DIY recipe with the nutrition packet they provide, he is not itching at all and he is off his prescription. He is so calm! I am amazed. I wish I had done this years ago.

The farmers dog DIY program gave me an affordable path that I could try with some confidence. My pup is so happy and I’m feeling much more optimistic about his future. Thank you Farmer’s dog!! I highly recommend this to anyone who is thinking of trying it out.

Also wanted to add, when I started this I had a lot of questions. They were great about responding and explaining things to me.

Thank you so much for sharing your story, Kathy. We know how tough long-term itching and allergies can be, so hearing that your pup is finally comfortable (and off his prescription!) makes us incredibly happy. We’re glad our DIY program has worked so well for you both. Give your guy lots of love and belly rubs for us!

We have two dogs

We have two dogs, one that will eat anything and one that half the time won’t even eat a treat. Both of them love this food. Our picky eater downright dances when I’m fixing their dishes. The only downside is you need room in your freezer. I’m trying The Farmers Dog in hopes that our dogs will lose some weight.

Totally overrated and so commercialised. Food okay but not worth the money. Veg with my steak pie was a spoonful of mash, one carrot and a handful of greens - very poor.
Wouldn’t recommend and would certainly never visit again.

Hi I’m Roberta H. My dog LOVES the Farmer’s Dog.

Hi I’m Roberta H. From Maryland. I have a senior yellow lab who was very tired of his dog food. We switched him to the Farmer’s Dog and he absolves it. He gobbles down every meal and even eats his medicine when we put it in his food. And the people who work at the Farmer’s Dog are so nice and helpful. Try it today!

My dog absolutely loves Farmers Dog…

My dog absolutely loves Farmers Dog food. He’s 10 years old and has very few teeth so he has to eat soft food. I’m so happy that he loves his food. He dances around when it’s time to eat. He never has any issues with the food and his poops are smaller and don’t stink as much. Roscoe has been eating this food for a year now. Best decision I ever made.

I bought this mainly for my 14 year old dog who i thought might benefit from this food. I had been given some food to try and initially she had more energy and seemed to thrive on the food. 5 months into this food she had bloody diarrhea. I immediately took her off the food and fed her homemade dog food again. The bleeding and diarrhea
resolved as well as excessive drooling that had started. I had continued to feed my younger dog the food until today. Another much younger dog is now bleeding with her poop. I had given her some of the packs I had gotten for my older dog. I have cancelled this food and destroyed the rest of the dog food that I had in my freezer. I
believe something was very wrong with this specific shipment of dog food. It was the beef packs from what I had been feeding at the time. I will never order this food again for any of my pets. Just because its expensive and billed as high quality doesn't mean its actually always high quality.

Great food and great people

My 15 yr old dog thrived on The Farmer’s Dog and now my 2 yr old is getting healthy on the same diet. Muffy was rescued from the streets just 25 days ago and was severely underweight. The Farmer’s Dog staff have developed a plan to get her up to a healthy weight at a measured pace as her vet told me was necessary. She has already gained 2.5 lbs and the vet is very pleased with the progress. I can’t say enough about how kind and helpful the staff are when I have called for help and information. Muffy loves the food and I wholeheartedly recommend this company to everyone. Great food and great people. Who could ask for more!

The Farmer's Dog Over Subscribes their customers

The Farmer's Dog does not do a good job of explaining how their program works. Their site just says the they do the math based on your dog type and size and nutrition needs. What you quickly find out is that they are banking on you, the customer, not getting to their website fast enough to stop the shipments - which double in size every time. By the third shipment, you have nearly two months worth of food and no where to store it and have to throw away very expensive food. This is a company looking to move as much product as possible. Incredibly dishonest behavior.

Thank you for reaching out and sharing your feedback with us, Dave. We're incredibly sorry to hear there was some confusion regarding our subscription plans, and we're here to help!

Your first box is a trial designed to help you and your pup transition to fresh food before moving to full shipments. Between your trial and regular orders, we send a smaller “in-between” box to ensure your pup has enough food while you adjust their plan. We also send order prep emails ahead of each shipment so you have time to review and make any changes before the cutoff date.

That said, we’d really appreciate the chance to make this right and tailor a plan that works better for you. A specialist has reached out to you, and please don’t ever hesitate to reach out to us directly at care@thefarmersdog.com—we’re here to help.

Quality, Consistency, and Kindness

Finally—A Fresh Food Company That Doesn’t Cut Corners. I just wanted to share how grateful I am for The Farmer’s Dog and their thoughtful team. My pups have been thriving on this food — his energy, coat, and overall happiness say it all 💛

I switched over from another fresh food company because the portion sizes kept getting smaller after a few months. I found that I was paying more and receiving less.

I’ve been with the Farmers for over a year now and still impressed by the consistency of the quality and quantity. I have three dogs so I usually mix this with a freeze dried dog food.

The customer service with Farmers dog has always been courteous, kind and helpful. I also love how the remaining portions can be tracked in my account to ensure that I receive just the right amount in each order.

Thank you, Farmer’s Dog, for going above and beyond and for truly caring about the health and longevity of our beloved fur babies.❣️🙏🏽
