The Farmers Dog is a subscription-based pet health brand on a mission to disrupt the pet food industry. Our primary service reimagines the food we feed our pets by delivering fresh meals made with healthy, whole food ingredients in personalized meal plans. We launched after our co-founder Bretts battle to cure his Rottweiler Jadas stomach issues illustrated the power of fresh food. After testing every pet food on the market without success, Brett resorted to a fresh, home-cooked diet at his vets recommendation. The results were staggering Jada was cured. Once we realized how poor the state of commercial pet food was, we set out to develop a fresh alternative and created the product we wished existed for our own dogs (and dogs everywhere). Utilizing smart technology and an innovative business model, we are bringing peace of mind to our customers, health to their companions, and fundamentally changing the way people think about feeding their pets. Our investors have also backed companies like Dollar Shave Club, Warby Parker, Glossier, Casper, and Sweetgreen.
