The Farmer's Dog earns a 3.6/5 rating due to exceptional product quality and customer service that are consistently undermined by delivery logistics failures, steep pricing, and isolated but serious health concerns reported by some customers.

They have steadily increased my dog’s food price over the years. I have a 4 pound mini dachshund and his monthly food order is now $256 a MONTH! Started out at under $150 monthly. This is ridiculous! I’m done with them Plus my dog has lost 17 teeth from his past two dentals and my vet blamed it on the food and said she’s had other patients dealing with tooth loss as well that are on Farmers Dog.
My dogs Tobey and Charlie LOVE The Farmer’s Dog food It’s always fresh and delicious and the customer service is amazing! Thank you so much for all you do
My 9 year old Doberman was diagnosed with hemorrhagic gastroenteritis. After spending over $5,000 in vet bills I had to change her food from dry to home made boiled chicken, salmon, rice, and broth. I spent every Sunday afternoon cooking up her weekly meals. Once I figured out how much I was spending (not to mention my time) I found Farmer’s Dog. Some people think it’s expensive but I figured out how much I was spending buying the ingredients and making the meals myself and it was less than what I was spending. She has been on Farmer’s Dog for almost a year now and is doing great. She is 9 years old going on 2 ! She acts like the puppy she once was. No gastrointestinal issues at all. She is a Farmer’s Dog for life !
The food is much enjoyed by my dogs. Unfortunately over and over my 100 lb order is left in mailroom. It costs more than $200 yet they use OnTrac for deliveries. I have asked them to leave at my front door. Their carrier doesn’t follow instructions. I can’t carry the box. Food wasted. Have to find a new dog food company
“Coco has completed her 2-week trial of The Farmers Dog, and she immediately loved the food. My biggest problem is NOT feeding her too much. She’s only 4.5 lb chihuahua, but she paws at her food bowl every few hours for more. Chihuahuas are known for ‘spinning’ when they’re excited, and that’s exactly what she does when she realizes I’m getting her meal ready. She never did that with her other food. She’s naturally full of energy since she’s only a year old, but I noticed within a couple days her energy increased even more. I certainly wasn’t expecting such a reaction, but am thrilled with the results.”
Farmer's Dog is an excellent dog food!! And excellent customer service!! The food is high quality. Also, my dog Rocky passed away with liver cancer and on his last days he was eating Farmer's dog food and it was the only food that his body accepted. Thank you Farmer's dog for the plant that I received on the name of my beloved dog Rocky who passed away. Thank you again!
I know we always hear “ This is the best or that is the best” But I am here to tell you, hands down, this is the best dog food period for your dog!! My Teddy wouldn’t eat anything, no matter how expensive, what I bought or what I cooked him and I was desperate, I seen the Farmers Dog commercial one day ” and said what have I got to lose, he has to eat something, I ordered according to his plan and it was love at first bite. I literally teared up when he finished his plate and he was so happy and the treats, oh he owns it, only ones he has ever eaten. Thank you Farmers Dog so much from me and Teddy for making him happy and healthy, We’re here forever!!💕💕
I have two cavipoos with sensitive stomachs and they are two years old. It has been very rough finding something they will eat. I wish I would have ordered Farmer’s Dog earlier. They are eating, happy, and healthy!!! Thank you so much!!!
We’ve been 3 year customers feeding Farmers Dog everyday to our dog. They recently increased prices by 12%, which is a massive hike. The increase itself would be understandable (the magnitude can be debated) but the worst part is that they launched fresh+grain recipe for 3 out of 4 (beef, pork, and chicken) but conveniently left out turkey - the food we’ve been feeding for 3 years consistently due to sensitive stomach other foods don’t work. So now the prices are 12% higher and the lower priced option is not available to us. We will be trying chicken+grain to see if that could maybe work but this price increase rollout was executed with non regards to customers like us who depend on there recipe. I have no idea why it’s difficult to mix turkey and grain while it’s possible to mix it with all other options. I think this is Farmers Dog getting complacent and believe that dog parents won’t switch under any circumstances.
I have been using The Farmer's Dog for almost 9 years now. When I first adopted my dog, she wouldn't eat anything and I tried everything. I saw The Farmer's Dog online and decided to give them a try. It was the beginning of a wonderful healthy life for my dog Akira. When I adopted her, she was underweight and her coat was dull and frail. She just looked so sad. After feeding her The Farmer's Dog, her wait came up to normal and the vet is impressed with her health and luster of her coat. He even asked me what I was feeding her. I told him. :) Through no fault of The Farmers Dog, we have only had 2 issues with delivery of her food due to storms and they were on top of it. The first time, they saw it was taking longer than normal to arrive at my house and reached out to me about it. They immediately sent me a new box and it arrived just the day after the first one that was defrosted and not so good looking. So Akira did not go without her food. The second time was just this year when we had the big ice storms in Texas and they reached out again saying there may be delays in shipment due to the storms and they even sent me recipes that I could make at home until they could get it out to me. I keep a 7 day stash in the freezer so we did not have to resort to making those recipes but I really appreciate The Farmer's Dog communication, dedication and eagerness to help and make sure that my baby girl is properly fed. I would recommend everyone switching to Farmer's Dog. My dog is now coming up on 10 and she is still going on 3 mile hikes with me every day, her coat is still shiny and her health is doing great with no issues. This food is a game changer in the world of dog food and your pets healthy longevity.
