I would recommend against the Farmer's Dog for no other reason than a large amount of conflicting information about whether the product is "good", predatory marketing practices, and a misrepresentation of their nutritional certifications. We recently underwent a health scare with our older dog, and after being pelted with ads, we figured "why not? what kind of pet owner wouldn't want to feed their dog fresh food?". We got a trial, our dog loved it, but she was starving after the first few rounds. We looked around online and found others had similar issues, which led to us investigating their portioning by breed/weight, and seeing how little actual data was being shared with us. What made our Pom diet different than the recipe sent for a working dog? We then fell down a rabbit hole of people sharing accounts of long-term health problems that only appeared after switching diets for a period of time long enough to eliminate adjustment periods. Ends up we're not alone. We found that FD did not have the same certifications that Purina and other vet-recommended foods do, which is crucial, as this is what makes the food ideal for pets of various breeds. I don't know how FD does it, but it appears to be a one-size-fits-all brand. Our vet (and a few others) were totally unfamiliar with the brand, and advised against it. We were also presented with a slew of misinformation around alleged pancreatitis tied to long-term usage of the Farmer's Dog. The FD site has a section on this and does not address allegations beyond pancreatitis having multiple contributing factors, which while true, doesn't change the fact that there is enough correlation between diagnoses to make me extremely skeptical of the product. I don't care at this point if it does or not, but I'm extremely offput by the dismissive responsiveness from FD. Stop spending time/resources on why your product isn't responsible for the disease, and start working to get actual certifications for your food, starting with WSAVA. You are not a bad pet owner for giving your dog processed food if the processed food is vet-approved and vetted by the various regulating bodies to make sure you are not hurting your dog. Don't fall prey to advertising.
