Go ahead, ask. We're all ears.
Is fresh dog food safe for all dogs?
Yes. The Farmer’s Dog meals are made to human-grade standards, and all recipes are vet-formulated to be complete and balanced according to AAFCO standards, with options for every stage of life. All recipes undergo strict quality and safety testing, and do not contain high levels of heavy metals reported to be found in some kibble and air and freeze-dried options.
Do your recipes have grains?
We have many recipes, including grain-free and grain-inclusive options. If you'd like to hear more, please call our customer support team. We're here to answer any and all questions, 24/7.
Do you have novel proteins?
A novel protein is one from a new source that your dog hasn't had before. We offer pork and turkey, which are less common in traditional kibble and can be “novel” for many dogs. These are both good options for dogs with certain protein sensitivities.
Do I need to cook the food?
No. 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 does shipping work?
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 pre-portioned packs to make feeding easy. Your pup's food arrives in refrigerated and environmentally friendly boxes that keep the food safe. We time deliveries to make sure you never run out of food, and you always have the ability to adjust deliveries at any time online.
