My dog likes the food, however, I do not like that my only option is to spend over $150 each order. Trying to store 14 packs is a pain. Why can't I just buy half of that so I don't have to store it nor fork over the $150 each time? I cancelled today after missing an email that said I needed to reschedule the upcoming order by yesterday. It's deceiving, the packs are supposed to feed my dog the correct amount of food but, my 20lb cockapoo eats twice what they say he should eat and he maintains his 19.3 lb figure. Am trying another of the many options out there.

Re your ad on tv Why would an advertising agency include a door-knocking element in their campaign? This approach feels out of touch with the intended audience. As a dog owner, I can tell you that every time the door knocking happens, my dog goes nuts. This raises the question: why would you intentionally upset dog owners? This makes me never want to try your product, never.

So... on the commercials for Farmer's Dog, they show the bag and what looks like a large bowl being filled. The truth is, when we got the bag, the instructions were a quarter of the bag. That amount was so little. I couldn't imagine it was enough food and... I was right. Don't waste your time and especially your money. The commercial is deceptive!!!

Horrible quality now. This company is spending too much on marketing and has dropped the quality of their food to almost 0. They used to have tons of veggies and chunks of yummy color. Now there’s no color and it’s just dead, looking dry meat.

The overpriced Farmer’s dog food left our dog malnourished. She lost 18 pounds in a month and was always hungry. We gave all the information about her size and breed and the food clearly was not what she needed.

While my dog Henri really liked the food ... It was quite messy dividing each packet into two meals. And I was told it would be $4.10 per day. After the first promotional package was mostly consumed they told me they were sending me 56 days worth in one shipment and we're going to charge my card $252. In text communication, they didn't respond at first and then finally did respond after I said do not send me anything more until we've got this sorted out. Today I got a message from them saying they charged my card and we're sending the 52 meals out. I called them and they said they'd already charged my card. I am so unhappy. I told them I couldn't afford $252 at one time every month or every 52 days. That I would be happy if they could split that into or make some other arrangement. They said they would do that, but the price goes up 50 cents per day. I can get 30 meals at a time but it would be 50 cents more per day. So they're going to charge me, a 67-year-old single woman barely surviving on social security an additional 50 cents per day. I'm so mad I can't see straight. Needless to say, when I asked for a manager they said somebody will be in touch via email sometime. I'm so mad. I refuse to bend over!

Their recommendation for my dog that is 3 years old and 45lbs will cost 115$ a week!!!! And I have 2 dogs. Who in their right mind would pay 500 a month to feed your dog. For 2 dogs over 1000🙄🙄🙄. And so many reviews saying their dog had pancreatitis. So happy I didn’t waste my money

I am VERY HAPPY with the Farmer's Dog, dog food. Amber waits every day for me to put it in her bowl, with her tail wagging the whole time. She has NEVER been this excited over any other dog food before. I really do wish that the Farmer's Dog Food had been out when she was a pup. She also loves the snap sticks treats. Don't be afraid to try this food and treats for your fur baby. Sincerely, Sharon

My dog has been on farmers dog for about 1.5 years. Since starting this food brand her cholesterol has skyrocketed. She is in early stages pancreatitis. Her lab results were perfect prior to starting this brand of food. It’s expensive, made with seed oils and there are better healthier options.

You won't be feeding your dog the amount you see them feed the dogs on the TV. You don't come anywhere near to filling their bowl up. It's pricey. My dachshund likes it. He's 8.

The dog food is great but the last delivery March 2025 we notice the packets where thinner. We had an old packet and sure enough they were thinner by a 1/4 pound . We have photos and scale to prove it. I asked them about and they said to 'send them photos'. It's as if they don't know. Don't buy Farmers Dog find something else or make it yourself.

Long story short: farmer's dog gave our dog pancreatitis. We almost lost him with the last episode. He had never had it before and hasn't had it since that food was totally stopped. Would never recommend it--too risky.

I cannot say enough good things about The Farmer’s Dog. My dog absolutely loved their food—his mouth would start watering the moment I pulled it out of the refrigerator! Beyond the high-quality meals, their customer service was truly exceptional. Anytime I had a concern, they went out of their way to resolve it. Sadly, my beloved dog, Bentley, crossed the rainbow bridge unexpectedly. I had an order already on the way, so I called to let them know the situation. Without hesitation, they immediately refunded my money and asked me to donate the food to a shelter in Bentley’s name—a gesture that deeply touched my heart. But they didn’t stop there. A few days later, I received a heartfelt letter of sympathy, followed by a card and a beautiful plant expressing their condolences. It brought tears to my eyes. I’m not sure when I’ll be ready to welcome another dog into my life, but I do know that when that time comes, they will be enjoying meals from The Farmer’s Dog. Thank you for your kindness, compassion, and for going above and beyond—it truly meant the world to me.

I've received 3 orders and on my 3rd, which might be my last. First shipment fine, 2nd had punctured bags that leaked when defrosted, 3rd that I'm on has undercooked chickpeas that I feel my dog isn't digesting Because he pooped out a whole one a couple of days ago. Today blood in his stool. This food is too expensive to have these quality control problems There are other brands similar out there I think I'll try. I put off my next shipment and thinking I'm gonna switch. They also sent 17 packets that take up alot of space in my freezer that I'm not thrilled about....beauty (sarcastic) of subscriptions. They hook you with the first box and then down hill from there.

My dog is seriously ill due to the high fat content and has pancreatitis and may not make it, it is a daily struggle to get him to eat. I would not recommend this to any dog who is not needing high fat. I will never for give myself for putting my dog in this situation.

I’ve had a great experience with Farmer’s Dog! Their customer service is quick, excellent, and deliveries are always timely, which I really appreciate.The food is delivered frozen, so be sure to defrost it, and sometimes it may need to be fluffed up some. There’s plenty of food, especially for small dogs, so you get great value if your dogs enjoy it. However, one of my two small dogs, a Shih Tzu, isn’t fond of the chicken flavor. But the other, a Shorkie, absolutely loves the turkey flavor! Overall, I’m happy with the service and quality, just wish there were more options for picky eaters like my Shih Tzu. Highly recommend for anyone with dogs who enjoy a fresh, healthy meal!

Unbelievable customer service 👏 👏👏 I was expecting a shipment about the time we had our latest snow storm. Due to the storm, my package was severely delayed. Without me having to do anything, they reached out to me and said, hey we noticed your shipment hasn't reached you yet, etc... They gave me instructions what to do and what to look for. And again, without me doing ANYTHING, they sent me an immediate replacement shipment so my lil sweetie never ran out of food. Top notch service! Thank you Farmer's Dog. Also, she loves it and I have a hard time keeping my cat out of it. Lol

My 12 year old chi/terrier mix did enjoy eating it and it saved me a lot of prep-time. Unfortunately, she started vomiting an undigested portion in the middle of the night and then wouldn’t eat for days. A few of the frozen bags appeared to have defrosted and was refrozen prior to shipment and I received them mis-shapen, crooked and smushed. I should have tossed them out but cost made me doubt my own gut instinct. I decided to try Fresh Pet since I can pick it up locally in several stores. She’s even happier now and danced around after eating with a squeak toy. So, I’m switching to Fresh Pet in the sealed log. I can cut off her portion, heat it slightly, mash it, seal the end and store it in the fridge crisper for 7 days. A safer bet. No more dry ice, big boxes to break up and recycle and I buy as needed. More room in my freezer too. Plus it’s reasonably priced by a long shot.

Like others have said, I gave them Ths Farmer's dog. At first they really liked it, and I thought that this would be much better than feeding them the Blue Buffalo that they were getting for the 4 years that I had them. The Girl started to get really sick, diarrhea and bloody smelly stools all ove the house. Her brother frequently turned away from the food, only eating it when he understood that that was all that was on offer for breakfast/dinner. After the $2K emergency vet bill, I decided to switch back to Blue Buffalo and they are very happy that I did.

Been using their food for almost a year. The first couple of months everything was fine. My last 2 packages I received from them were darker in color. I only get one type of food so it should have been normal like the others have been. Several times my dog got sick and would go days without eating. A couple of times my dog would just sniff it and walk away. And I'd throw it out. 60% of the time my dog would eat it and she would be fine the other 40% didn't go so well. I reached out and emailed them about the food being bad or spoiled and I never heard from them, canceled my plan with them and using something else.
