Picture me: the first day of the year, all on my high horse about how this would really and truly be THE season I’d get my diet on track. I had all the pieces in place and felt confident I could pull it off. So far, so good!
Then it hit me—my Golden Retriever, Jack, was still eating the same old kibble he always had because it was affordable. If I’m upgrading my own diet for my health and longevity, how could I do anything less for my best boy?
The quickest, easiest decision I have ever made was to order him fresh food The Farmer’s Dog immediately. Their talk was big, and I put my faith in them. But the benefits were real.
Here’s our experience so far:
Fresh is best: why whole foods matter for your dog's health
Dogs are omnivores, just like us. Crunchy brown bites of food are ultra-processed, often filled with preservatives, and leave a lot of room for mystery. The Farmer’s Dog is a fresh food service that delivers complete and balanced meals that have been developed by veterinary nutritionists.
It’s real food! The food is made in human-grade kitchens from whole meats and vegetables. It was gently cooked so that nutritional values can be preserved until they’re down the hatch of the beautiful creature living in your home.

The Farmer’s Dog's gently-cooked formulas preserve vital nutrients like Omega-3 fatty acids, amino acids, and minerals, supporting your pup's immune system function, healthy skin, and a glossy coat.
This just feels right. But a stronger case than the vibes is that fresh food is recommended by thousands of vets, with more and more recommending it every day.
Highly digestible = quality poops
Nobody would wish digestive discomfort on any being they love, pets included. So the fact that fresh food sits better and digests more easily is day-making.
What’s more, easier-to-digest meals are a great experience for Jack: no more long, straining poops (which means no need to avert eye contact with my neighbors), and no scooting on my light rug. A healthy poop is easier to pick up, too. Everyone wins!
Pre-portioned for weight management and longevity
The Farmer’s Dog meals arrive in ready-to-serve packs that are pre-portioned according to your pup’s specs. You enter in your dog’s age, weight, body condition, activity level, and more at sign-up and The Farmer’s Dog will do the math for you.
I’m a softie for the little guy I love most, so I was admittedly giving him some mercy scoops of food when Jack gave me the look. The horrifying reality is that my “love” had the potential of taking a toll on his health—dogs who maintain a healthy weight can live up to 2.5 years longer than overweight dogs.*
Special dog food delivery!

Love a mail day. Don’t love hauling giant bags of food from the pet store to the car, to the house. With The Farmer’s Dog, meal plans start at $2 per day and shipping is free. You decide the delivery cadence—anywhere from weekly to bi-monthly.
You might be thinking, cool, so this chick loves getting mail but dogs don’t get excited about packages. You would be mistaken! Jack now recognizes The Farmer’s Dog boxes and is beside himself when they arrive. If that’s his reaction to the box, you can imagine how thrilled he is to get fed this fresh food.
