MO Dept of Agriculture — License #235861 Insured by Liberty MutualReal credentials. Real food. Real people. Here's what makes us different.
We hold a Missouri Department of Agriculture commercial pet food manufacturer license — something virtually no small or home-based operation can claim. Getting it required independent food testing, label compliance review, and annual fees. We pursued it voluntarily because your dog deserves that level of accountability.
Every batch we produce is backed by comprehensive business liability insurance through Liberty Mutual. You can feed our food with complete confidence knowing we stand behind every order with real, professional coverage. This is what separates a serious operation from someone just selling homemade food on the side.
Your dog's plan is calculated using their exact weight, age, and activity level. No rounding, no guessing — portioned to the ounce, every single meal.
Beef, organ meat, wild caught salmon, eggs — every nutrient comes from the ingredients themselves. No synthetic powder added at the end to hit targets.
A family in south St. Louis. Our kids help make the food (all 10 of them!). We feed this to our own dogs. Text us any time — no call centers, no chatbots.
The Farmer's Dog uses a proprietary synthetic nutrient blend — a powder they add to hit nutritional targets. We don't use powders. Our nutrition comes entirely from real ingredients.
We also don't use chicken, which is a common allergen and digestive irritant for many dogs. And we don't pad calories with cheap starches and rice to cut costs.
Pound for pound, our food delivers more real nutrition — at the same price point.

Three distinct animal proteins — beef, beef liver, and wild caught salmon — plus eggs, for complete amino acid coverage, broad-spectrum B-vitamins, and natural omega-3s (EPA and DHA). Real protein from real sources. No by-products. No chicken — a common allergen and digestive irritant for many dogs.
We source femur bones from Kenrick's Meat Market — a St. Louis institution — and slow cook them for four days to extract collagen, gelatin, and bone-matrix minerals. No store-bought broth. No shortcuts. This is what goes in every batch.
Most commercial dog food brands use rice as their grain because it's cheap. We use millet — gluten-free, more digestible, and nutritionally superior with meaningful amounts of magnesium, phosphorus, manganese, and B-vitamins. It's a real nutritional contributor, not just a filler.
Broccoli, carrots, sweet potatoes (in moderation — excess starch causes yeast issues), peas, spinach, kale, blueberries, extra virgin olive oil, flaxseed meal, and apple cider vinegar. Every vegetable earns its place. Nothing is in here for bulk or filler.
We hear from a lot of dog owners doing this — and we get it, you want to feed your dog something real. But chicken and rice alone is dangerously incomplete nutrition. Dogs fed this long-term are often severely deficient in essential vitamins, minerals, and amino acids — even if they seem fine on the outside. You're trying to do right by your dog. Let us bring the science, so you can be sure.
Have a dog with specific sensitivities? Text us at (314) 816-1234. Our food doesn't contribute to the most common issues — yeast, allergies, skin problems — because of what we leave out. We're happy to talk through your dog's specific situation.
Kibble is only 8–12% moisture. Dogs weren't designed to drink their way to hydration — in the wild, they got most of their water from food. Our food is 73% moisture, matching fresh prey composition and supporting kidney function, urinary health, and overall wellbeing. Same moisture level as The Farmer's Dog. Better than any bag of kibble.
