The Farmer's Dog
About The Farmer's Dog
The Farmer’s Dog was born from a mission to change the landscape of pet health, providing dogs and their humans with honest, smart, and simple care.
We’re starting by radically improving the $90 billion pet food industry, replacing bags of highly‑processed pellets with a personalized subscription service that sends complete and balanced, freshly‑made dog food directly to customers’ doors. Our ultimate goal is to create innovative, delightful and personalized experiences across all aspects of pet care. We believe our direct‑to‑consumer business model, holistic approach to growth, and dynamic culture uniquely position us to shepherd this backwards industry into the future.
To date, The Farmer’s Dog has delivered over 1 billion meals nationwide and raised over $150 million in funding. Join us as we continue to develop ways of bringing peace of mind to customers, health to their companions, and much‑needed change to the way people feed and care for their pets.
