“The food is great my dogs love it. But unless you can start selling this in stores, so people can buy it when they need it, FarmersDog will not succeed. The logistics of asking pet owners to store numerous large packs of pet food in the freezer and then auto shipping more food to them before it is depleted based on the feeding instructions will cause customers to cancel FarmersDog.”
“My dog developed pancreatitis after being on Farmer's Dog about 3 months. We almost lost her. I didn't blame the dog food until I saw others had the same problem. It looks like Tiffany will live but the vet bills have been over $900. My vet switched her to Hills lowfat diet. People need to be aware and watch their dogs. Recovery is based upon early detection.”
“We used to cook for our dog, Lucky, but as the Cushings’ symptoms progressed we transitioned to Farmer’s Dog. It was a great option with quality and Lucky loved the treats. Customer services is incredible and they genuinely care about your pet. Unfortunately, due to complications of the disease, our little angel passed. The company was so kind. They refunded our last shipment as Lycky passes as it had just arrived, which we donated to a local animal shelter) and even sent a plant as a gift. I recommend the food and the company. We will rescue another dog once we go through our grieving and we will continue to be a Farmer’s dog customer. Thank you”
“I am not sure if this $$$$ food has any benefit for our dog, one thing I noticed, he doesn't want/like to be brushed any more, he is hungry for more food. I have Not seen any positive good effects on him,”
“These prices are outrageous. I make my own organic dog food for my 11 lb terrier mix,,which includes organic chicken, frozen peas and carrots, small amount of brown rice, 8 scrambled eggs and sweet potatoes for $15.00 a month. Frozen in portions.”
“I am very frustrated with the subscription service for Farmer’s Dog food. I was assured that I would receive a reorder email before my trial ended. If I had, I would have stated that my dog refuses to eat the chicken & grain recipe and to just send the turkey recipe. Instead I received an email that my full order (including the much-disliked chicken recipe) was en route in the next two days. I immediately called to edit the order & was told it could not be edited. Now I will be stuck with several pouches of something my puppy will not eat. Additionally, I had to transition from the previous dogfood to the new food & that took a week so I was already behind on the schedule. I was offered a refund on the chicken recipe from the trial plus a refund for the chicken recipe in the next order, but they cannot reimburse me for all the chicken recipe due to a glitch in the system. Needless to say, I have CANCELLED my subscription & do not recommend this company.”
“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”
