Your dog’s doo-doo provides valuable information about their health. Well-formed poops signal that your dog’s digestive system is in good working order—and they’re one of the hallmarks of a fresh diet.
“An online pet food company that makes feeding real food to dogs really easy.”
“Researchers concluded that fresh diets do demonstrate a number of pet health benefits.”
“It is never deep frozen, and it never sits on a shelf. All you do is open the pack and pour.”
Your dog’s doo-doo provides valuable information about their health. Well-formed poops signal that your dog’s digestive system is in good working order—and they’re one of the hallmarks of a fresh diet.
Fresh Food is More Digestible
Our fresh food is made of whole, human-grade meats and vegetables. Kibble, in contrast, is usually made from powdery “meals” rendered from sub-par scraps. The difference isn’t just the “ick” factor—whole food is proven to be more digestible. That means your dog is absorbing more immunity-boosting nutrients.
Better Digestibility Means Better Poops
Giant, eye-wateringly stinky piles of poop are a signature of a diet of ultra-processed food. Research shows that
dogs eating fresh food have smaller poops!
Daily Diarrhea Isn’t Just “The Way It Is”
Consistently bad poops are NOT normal. And many people find that when they switch their dogs from kibble to a fresh diet, ongoing digestive difficulties disappear (and their pup’s poops are pleasanter!)
Food made for the love (and health) of dogs doesn’t look like a burnt brown ball. It looks like food! Ours is formulated by board-certified veterinary nutritionists to be complete and balanced, and made with human-grade ingredients that are gently steamed to help retain their maximum nutritional value. Choose from a variety of fresh, personally portioned recipes including chicken, beef, turkey and more!
Meat
Green Vegetables
Including fresh vegetables in a dog’s diet can provide health-boosting antioxidants. We use only whole, healthy vegetables — not past-their-prime scraps rendered into unidentifiable pellets.
Whole muscle and organ meat make up the majority of all of our recipes. Because our food is fresh, it can provide essential nutrients and hydration, while being high in protein, calorically dense, and more digestible than the highly processed “meal” powders and starchy fillers often used in kibble and canned food.
Fiber - Rich Foods
Supplemental Nutrients
To ensure our fresh recipes are nutritionally complete and balanced, we add high-quality supplemental nutrients, like fish oil. It’s Human-Grade, filled with Omega-3s, and really tasty!
Using fresh, whole vegetables also provides fiber, a key component of a dog’s diet — it helps maintain digestive health and a healthy gut, helps to regulate blood sugar levels, and leaves your dog feeling full for longer.
No animal evolved to eat a diet of highly processed pellets. A switch to fresh food helped these dogs’ digestive woes (and made scooping a bit nicer for their humans…).
“My golden doodle’s poops are half the size since switching to fresh food, showing she is digesting more of her food and not just passing huge amounts of non-digestible ingredients from her kibble.”
“Jax had chronic diarrhea and gastrointestinal issues as a puppy. This affected his appetite which became very concerning. I tried several types of prescription food and premium brand dog food with no improvements. Thankfully, we discovered The Farmer’s Dog! Just like that, no more issues and he has a strong appetite every day. He absolutely loves every recipe and his stool is gorgeous!”
We deliver our food to your door on your schedule, so you can skip the pet store runs. One less thing to think about.
Health Goals
Whether your dog’s a puppy or a senior, overweight or underweight, our personally portioned plans can help them be a healthier, happier version of themself.
Real Food Made Real Simple
Your trial box comes with easy to follow transition instructions and a personalized feeding guide – no more “how much do I scoop?” guessing games.
The Farmer’s Dog creates a variety of human-grade recipes that are simple in nature using different proteins and vegetables to account for dietary restrictions. Our board-certified veterinary nutritionists carefully formulate each recipe to be 100% complete and balanced according to AAFCO standards, and we use all human-grade ingredients and processes to do so.
Every recipe has clean USDA proteins, mixed with simple whole foods, and balanced with vitamins and minerals. That’s it. We never use feed-grade ingredients, and we don’t process our ingredients to be shelf-stable, ensuring your dog is getting the highest quality, most natural nutrients available. All of our ingredients are human-grade and sourced from reputable food suppliers, local farms, and other human food purveyors that meet USDA standards.
Every dog is different, and your exact plan and price options will depend on your dog(s) and their food needs, factoring in age, weight, activity, recipe choice, and more. Plans start at about $2/day, and delivery options mostly range from 1 week to 3 months of food and include free shipping. Because we deliver the food right to your door, your dollars are going towards the highest quality ingredients, and not to the mark-ups of a big retail store.
We work closely with our vet nutritionists to figure out the optimal calorie needs for different combinations of breed, age, activity level, and sensitivities. Certain dogs can metabolize faster than others, so some plans may need further adjusting.
Is your food suitable for puppies?
Yes! We have recipe options suitable for every life stage, and we’ll recommend a plan that’s just right for your dog’s age – you can enter your dog’s exact age on our dog profile questionnaire.
Do I need to refrigerate the food?
Yes! Since our food is truly fresh and we donʼt use any preservatives, itʼs essential that you treat it like real food (because it is!). Keep the food at a safe temperature in a refrigerator or freezer. Your box will also include an easy guide on how to store and feed the food properly (it’s very simple!).
Do I need to cook the food?
No need, our food is pre-portioned and ready-to-serve! You can serve it directly from the fridge or add a touch of hot water if your dog prefers warm food.
How do shipments work? Do you ship nationwide?
We currently ship to the 48 contiguous states. With our meal plans, customers receive deliveries of freshly prepared food on a recurring and flexible basis. Plans are customized to fit your dog’s needs and come in convenient serving packs to make feeding easy. Your pup’s food arrives in refrigerated and environmentally friendly boxes that keep the food safe. We perfectly time deliveries to make sure you never run out of food and you will have the ability to adjust deliveries at any time online.
