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.

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.

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!

@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!

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.

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 🙂

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 !

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!
