Comments
I got this deal for my dogs then cancelled the day my order came. I wanted to see if my dogs actually liked the food before committing. They do seem to really like this food and IMO it actually looks really good (not like canned dog food). My only gripe is the packaging. I wish it came in smaller portions. I use wet food as a supplement to my dogs regular dry food. I would probably never switch them to this diet fully, but kind of do a 1/2 and 1/2 meal for my pups. In any case because of this, I don’t leave one full package in my fridge at one time. I have to thaw to get about half out- put that in the fridge and then freeze the other 1/2 until I’m ready to finish that package. If you plan on totally switching your dog over- this would not be an issue for you. While I feel the quality of food is there, I found the high price after the trial to be somewhat of an issue for me. Can I afford it? Yes I can. But I do wish it was slightly less expensive. Additionally since I don’t plan on totally changing my dogs food, it would be nice to maybe get something like this quarterly.

We had a negative experience with The Farmer’s Dog. To start, we received food that was mislabeled – not a huge deal, but we’d intended to start our dog on turkey as we’d read it was easier to digest & thus easier to transition with. Instead chicken was labeled as turkey and vice versa.
Bigger issue is the bait & switch on pricing. What was not clear in the sign-up process is that the first two shipments are 14 days worth of food, but the price you’re quoted is for shipments of 28 days worth of food. We don’t have a ton of freezer space, so when I noticed that our plan shifted to 28 days, I moved it back to 14 days from sign-up and saw the price increase by 20%.
I called customer service and they explained this is a new process they’re trying out, where they ship smaller “transition shipments” of 14 days for your first two orders, and then send you monthly shipments after that. The operator explained I must have missed that explanation on the order confirmation page about how the quoted price is actually for monthly shipments, and if you want 14 days after your second shipment, your price will go up significantly. I just went back through the order process and saw no such clarification up until you submit the order. I can only trust the operator that it is on the order confirmation page – after you’ve already signed up. :/
I will say that our dog liked the food, but for the high cost I never expected to get mislabeled food, or for the company to intentionally hide the fact that the rate only applies to an entire mont’s worth of food AFTER you’ve signed up. Trust is highly important for any company that’s providing for our dog, and I found that severely lacking with The Farmer’s Dog given the mislabeled food and intentional games with pricing. That’s why we cancelled our subscription and will give one of the competitor’s with cheaper rates a shot.
