“I started my dog on the farmer's dog food because I had lost one dog to heart issues and wanted my last dog to live a healthier life. It did not happen, she started with stomach problems, eating grass, and not eating for the day. I thought maybe it was the chicken or turkey so I changed the menu to beef and pork. It did not help, she started eating grass and throwing up. I canceled the subscription. Started her on dry food science diet and fresh meat i cook. My dog is a maltipoo that I love a lot.”
“We just bought a Yorkie puppy from a broker. They told us we "had to" use the food that they fed him. Diamond naturals. The puppy wouldn't touch either the wet or dry. We were worried that something was wrong with him. I researched farmer's dog and heard nothing but positive results. We ordered the turkey one because he's a little Yorkie puppy and can get pancreatics if he has too much fat. He was the most finicky eater. He LOVES the food! He can't wait for food! Eats it all up. He's happy and so are we! I recommend farmer's dog to everyone who has a dog! Really food! Human grade, not like fresh pet who had a couple recalls due to semolina. Get this! It's worth it!”
“Ella is such a picky eater she only likes the turkey and the chicken.. only downside is it is pretty expensive I could only probably do it for another month for 56 days it's going to be $172 or two she really did love the turkey and the chicken not a fan of the beef... Definitely fluff it up with the fork... I really wish I can afford it but I'm just going to go ahead and boil chicken and make it myself she is definitely my family and I want to make sure she's taken care of.. I'm just going to go ahead and boil chicken and just make it myself I think it's way too pricey for me I definitely wish I could afford it but I just can't hopefully you can give it a try.. she is very regular on her bowel movements I truly wish I could afford it however I'm going to get this last shipment and go ahead and cancel and try to make it myself I wish you all the best.. your friend Ella”
“I fed the Farmers dog to my 11 year old chihuahua/pug mix. By the third week he was having severe diarrhea and suffered a small seizure. $791 vet bill later he was diagnosed with pancreatitis. I do not recommend this dog food to any dog owners but especially any pups that require a low fat diet.”
“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!”
