“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 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. $791 vet bill later he was diagnosed with pancreatitis. I do not recommend this dog food to any dog owners but especially any pups that require a low fat diet.”
“Re your ad on tv
Why would an advertising agency include a door-knocking element in their campaign? This approach feels out of touch with the intended audience. As a dog owner, I can tell you that every time the door knocking happens, my dog goes nuts. This raises the question: why would you intentionally upset dog owners?
This makes me never want to try your product, never.”
“So... on the commercials for Farmer's Dog, they show the bag and what looks like a large bowl being filled. The truth is, when we got the bag, the instructions were a quarter of the bag. That amount was so little. I couldn't imagine it was enough food and... I was right. Don't waste your time and especially your money. The commercial is deceptive!!!”
“Horrible quality now. This company is spending too much on marketing and has dropped the quality of their food to almost 0. They used to have tons of veggies and chunks of yummy color. Now there’s no color and it’s just dead, looking dry meat.”
“The overpriced Farmer’s dog food left our dog malnourished. She lost 18 pounds in a month and was always hungry. We gave all the information about her size and breed and the food clearly was not what she needed.”
“Their recommendation for my dog that is 3 years old and 45lbs will cost 115$ 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”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“DO NOT USE FARMER'S DOG! Our dogs became horribly sick after eating Farmer's Dog food. We even had to take one of our dogs to an emergency vet, where they informed us that they had seen many cases of very sick dogs with a common denominator: Farmer's Dog food.”
“My dog had been on farmers dog for months with no issues then suddenly stopped eating it she had constant diarrhea and when taken to the vet they said she had inflamed gastrointestines we gave her a bland diet then went back to farmers dog and low and behold she has diarrhea and it’s getting worse today she had bloody diarrhea and we need to schedule ANOTHER vet visit this is not approved by the vet and doesn’t work on every dog.”
“I stopped using Farmers Dog when my usually unpicky dog stopped eating for several days... I also noticed the food was more of a pureed greasy mess. Several boxes showed up partially defrosted and one had leaked during shipping and lost all the packages except one. It's not worth the effort.”
“Couple years using their plan. Two orders ago called and changed to phone in orders as needed, not using plan.. 1st order using this method worked fine. 2nd order I called and ordered 14 pkgs Pork and 14 pkgs beef.. They said they would ship seperately and I agreed. Assuming total cost would be $180.. Well the decided to charge $180. for each 14 pkgs or $360. for 28 pkgs..or $12.86 per pkg.. Phone call to them on 12/19/24, “that’s the way it is “ BUYER BEWARE..”
