After I squeeze the bag, and when it’s empty, I fill the empty bag with warm water, then do a flavorful soup for coco on the side by side bowls

It’s such a great tip! I’ve started doing that for our senior dog too!

My 3 dogs love this food and it's only been one week since we began. Thanks for the tips. 😂

Hint to FD. Having a cup equivalent would help or easier portioned packaging.

Our dogs do the same thing with the bowls when they're done! Never a dirty bowl left in this house either! 🤣

I just started FD. Tips so far: I put their food in a rectangular Pyrex container and cut it like brownies. Then it’s easier to portion. Also I add water to the pouch and use this in their food. I heat the water in the microwave for a few seconds. At this point I’m not sure if I will continue. I may use it as a topper or go half and half. From what I’ve read calories are important so I’ll figure that out. The food seems to upset my dogs stomachs. One dog has been on a prescription biome food for most of his life. I’m going to give it a little while longer and see.

Did you transition slowly?

All these videos have the bowls just about full 😂 I misunderstood the directions for my 15 pound girl. She started to get a little Chunky. I found out I was doubling her food 😆🙄 OK let's go over to our puppy

If you cut the top, and then down the length of one side, the food will fall out whole with very little left in the bag.

Hi. My godson sent me his referral link so after watching your videos, I signed up for my 2 goldens. They are 9 mo old and they always ate well…until,I just bought some kibble they don’t like. I’m wasting a ton of food, but worse, I’m worried they aren’t getting nutrients. They are very active. I mix the kibble with canned and still not eating well. Added liverwurst and they helped, but Im looking forward to Farmers. Thank you.

@davechung Жыл бұрын

I hope your pups love it, Janice! Two of our dogs are SUPER active all day, and it makes me feel a lot better that I know they’re eating well. Crossing my fingers for you!

Hey Dave, after trying EVERY wet and dry dog food under the sun I finally decided to try Farmers Dog. I was excited because I want to feed my puppy the BEST food available. But she doesn’t like it anymore than any other food. She doesn’t like ANYTHING! And I don’t want to feed her JUNK. But I think part of the problem is having to serve it cold. I don’t know how to warm it up? Someone at Farmer’s Dog suggested putting warm water in it but even the smallest amount diluted it. Any idea’s?

@davechung Жыл бұрын

Hey Chris! Ugh that’s tough - so I occasionally put a small amount of hot faucet water in with one of our dog’s food (the food cools it down, so it’s not anywhere close to burning hot). It gets a little soupy, but the smells are much stronger. If that doesn’t work, is there a tiny sprinkle of a dry treat you could use? Treat dust from the bottom of the bag has worked wonders for us with our pickiest dog, or even just a few shreds of Parmesan (because of the smell). It might show her that the food is worth a shot until she gets used to it!

Hey Dave. My Max( Cavapoo) doesn’t want to eat any food himself even the farmers food.I have to feed him otherwise he won’t eat any tips . He is 14 weeks

@davechung Жыл бұрын

Ah that must be frustrating - I have been there before! Have you tried switching his bowl or moving the location of where he eats? If you’re doing The Farmer’s Dog, I add pretty hot water to the bowl and make it almost like a warm beef stew for one of our dogs, and that helps a lot. Of course, you could always do a little sprinkle of crackers or cheese, but I know some really don’t want to feed human food, but it might help to get max to eat!

Why don’t u heat it up your giving them cold food

@celestialtay Жыл бұрын

This is a kind of long winded question/inquiry. But I am feeding this meal plan to my pug. Which she usually was eating FreshPet dog food. I usually give her 2 scoops, measured out with a 1/3 measuring cup. I feed her twice a day, & it’s in the range for her weight (she’s about 16 pounds). Now I am doing the introduction process, mixing with her old food. But on their website they say if you feed them twice a day, you should feed them 1/8 of one pack. Is their any specific measurement amount, that could help my portioning.

@davechung Жыл бұрын

Since the packs have different amounts in them based on your dog, it might be tough to say how much that 1/8 is. However, I’ve always been totally good just eyeballing it for our 3 dogs. It might also be good for you to put a pouch in a container first. Then you know you’re going to go through 1/4 in a day (1/8 2x if I understood your portion correctly), and that’s pretty easy to visually portion out with a spoon.

@francessmith8268 27 күн бұрын

I just got my first box. It really seems like so little to feed? My dogs are slim, but I am worried they will be hungry.

@davechung 27 күн бұрын

I get that! The food is a lot more nutrient dense, especially compared to dry food, so they should be good! Since I was switching from raw to this, the portion sizes were similar 🙂

@lm6487 Жыл бұрын

You feed this to them, cold, right out of the fridge?

Yep! No cooking at all since it’s already cooked.

Yep! Just in the fridge for about 12 hours or so! It stays good in the fridge for a few days after it’s thawed.

I make my own fresh dog food from Vet approved recipes every 5 days. It’s fresh and they eat 2X a day. 12 ounces for my 65 lbs 10 yrs old Boxer and 4 ounces each for my 2 Jack Russells aged 3 & 1. I supplement their food with the Iceland Pure Unscented Pharmaceutical Grade Salmon Oil (Amazon) and my dogs have the best coat, shiny and soft and they’re at their best weight ever. Poops are smaller and they lost that nasty dog smell. Dogs can’t wait for their meals. Can’t get any better than this !

That’s awesome!! I admire that. It’s so great when the dogs smell great, and their poops are easy!

If you can make your own then good for you. I probably could too but this is more work than I thought.

@jesusperez4366 Жыл бұрын

Can you give it to them warm ? Would it still be ok ?

@davechung Жыл бұрын

You could! I wouldn’t cook it because you’d lose some of the nutrients, but I legit put some hot water in there for one of our dogs. It’s definitely warm when he eats it 😋

@user-zi4vp4qg9d 4 ай бұрын

You give 1 bag to all 3 of them? They don’t have their own bag?

@davechung 4 ай бұрын

For most people, the dogs will each get their own bag! Since our dogs are smaller, it’s cheaper for me to combine them to one pouch (and less bags to throw away!).

@cherylbrantley4736 3 ай бұрын

I just got first box and it says to feed once daily:

@davechung 3 ай бұрын

The feeding directions can be different based on your dog and info entered (many people with larger dogs do one pouch per meal). If your dog likes having two meals per day, I’m sure it’d be fine to split it in half. If you want to be sure, shoot them an email at care@thefarmersdog.com or reply to your shipping confirmation and they’ll get back to you super fast!
