Put the the word "farm" in any food product name (for humans or pets) and you can certainly believe that people will happily pay 5x what the sensible price would be under the assumption that it's better for them.

Always wondered about this. They advertise like crazy. My childhood dog lived to 19 on Alpo, kibble and cottage cheese.

Everything today involving dogs has become more expensive and ridiculous. From dog boutiques with uber expensive toys to dog food that rivals the costs of high end human food, everything is premium etc. I guess there are tons of dog owners with lots of disposable income...


Or, we prefer higher quality foods to keep our dogs healthy.


OR you bought into the hype that says "expensive = better" and think it predicts "health" when you have zero science to back that claim.


Better kibble has less fillers and biproducts. We usually do homemade with farmers dog supplement and a ilttle kibble. Have you looked at whats in some kibble?

My vet told me that my dod needs a dental cleaning, and it will cost about 2k. I should expect this to be necessary every 4-5 years. My dog is 4. I agree the dog should have a dental cleaning but 2k?

I looked into the farmers dog awhile back -no way, totally ridiculous. Must be for people without kids.


There are people who do sedation free cleanings for about $300 if your dog can tolerate it.

The food is good (but overpriced) and the marketing is slick.

I thought the thread was going to be about “dogs who go to live on the farm” so maybe that’s why it’s off putting?

Very pricy. I like their DIY mix in and make my own food in batches and freeze for daily use.
