The Farmer’s Dog vs. Blue Buffalo: The Dog Food I Use to Show My Pup He’s Loved

Brown Pellets or Fresh Meats & Veggies: Take Your Pick

My most blessed moments are when I’m with my dog Sauvage, and he has all he needs when he’s with me. When I brought my good boy home I picked up a bag of Blue Buffalo dog food to keep his diet consistent with what he was being fed.

But once he got acquainted in his loving home, I upgraded to The Farmer’s Dog fresh food, and saw noticeable impacts on his health and happiness.

Here’s how these two brands compare:

If you want dog food that packs exceptional nutrition… The Farmer’s Dog

My granddad used to make two chicken breasts for dinner: one for himself and one for his pup. As a kid, I thought it was comical, but I’ve since educated myself and learned that fresh food for dogs means their meals are in a highly digestible state.

Your dog absorbs more nutrients from fresh, gently cooked food than highly processed options, and it can result in less waste. Like other dogs, Frenchies like my Sauvage need to fuel up with quality protein.

The Farmer’s Dog food is human-grade, made fresh in USDA kitchens without preservatives, and veterinarian-created to be completely balanced.

That is my standard for my dog.

As far as kibble goes, Blue Buffalo is a step ahead of its peers—their food has no corn, wheat, soy or poultry by-products in their formula. But kibble tends to be highly processed, and has an element of difficult-to-pronounce mystery to its ingredients.

If you’re sick of hauling bags of dog food from the store… The Farmer’s Dog

I’ve seen so many people break out in a sweat with a giant sack of dry dog food slung over their shoulder as they walk from the store to their car. I save my workouts for the gym and get my dog food delivered from The Farmer’s Dog.

I already said this food is fresh, but I’ll add that it’s really convenient!

The Farmer’s Dog shipping plans are flexible and easy to adjust, so if you’re a new subscriber and are figuring out the amount that works best for you, or if you have travel coming up, you can update as needed.

If you want to save a few bucks*… Blue Buffalo

The Blue Buffalo dog food I was buying for Sauvage broke down to $2.17 per pound if I bought a 30-pound bag, which is lower in cost than I’m paying now, but in comparison, came with a trade-off: it doesn’t have to meet the same quality standards as human food.

The Farmer’s Dog plans start at $2 per day (price varies by age, size, health, activity level, and more). When you think about your dog as a member of your family, that seems extremely reasonable, doesn’t it?

For Sauvage, it’s about more than just feeding him that good, quality food because I care about him, no matter the price tag. Those that feed their dogs fresh food also have noticed a range of benefits, including improved skin, and a glossier coat.

*I just want to note that whether you buy kibble or The Farmer’s Dog, the daily cost of dog food will increase or decrease depending on your dog’s size. Bigger dogs typically eat more and require bigger meals.

If you’re looking for a great option for even the pickiest dog… The Farmer’s Dog

For this one I’m turning the mic over to Sauvage!

Plain and simple, I put two bowls of food in front of him: one The Farmer’s Dog bowl and one Blue Buffalo bowl. I genuinely did not know which one he would pick. He didn’t even look at the kibble, he went straight for the fresh food and didn’t look up until his dish was licked clean.

The Farmer’s Dog is my easy winner

When I made the choice to switch to The Farmer's Dog food, I was going with a gut decision. Now I know there are experts backing this decision because of the nutrition, the human-grade quality, and more. My dog seems so much healthier and happier since starting The Farmer’s Dog!

Add in the convenience and delicious factor, and we are all set on the dog food that works for us. Sauvage and I recommend it!
