The Farmer's Dog Founders' Story
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 янв 2022
- Like so many other pet owners, Brett Podolsky was feeding his dog dry food from a bag, believing it was what dogs were supposed to eat. But his Rottweiler, Jada’s, severe and persistent digestive issues sent him on a journey through a maze of pet food products and marketing promises that led nowhere-until a vet recommended he try making simple, fresh food. That revelation about what healthy dog food actually is marked the start of Jada’s good health, the start of a company, and the start of a new chapter for the pet food industry.
After seeing the impact of real food on his dog, and discovering the alarming reality behind pet food marketing, Brett and partner Jonathan Regev launched The Farmer’s Dog-the company they wished existed for their own dogs.
Using decades of pet nutrition research, and working with top vet nutritionists, they created fresh, human-grade food that’s nutritionally complete and balanced for dogs, and delivered to people in precisely portioned packs.
Millions of meals later, the journey to help all dogs live longer and healthier lives continues.

Hello from grant park, Illinois. I have been cooking for my dog . I was concerned about not having the nutrients that are required for her health. Thank you so much for your dedication. I’m at peace now that I am providing her with the nutrients that she needs. ❤❤❤❤ you guys!!!!
This kind of update makes our day! We're so lucky to be part of your dog's life 🧡
One of the few RUclips ads I never skipped and watched the entire thing through. Amazing filmmaking. I am going to order my dog's first bag of The Farmer's Dog food today. Thank you for what you are doing to keep man's best friend happy and healthy!
])
what did they pay you for this comment?
The funny thing is that it's, by definition, processed food, which they imply you shouldn't feed your dog.
Yes ordered today!❤

My boxer puppy was on farmers dog for close to two months. He definitely enjoyed it, but his poops were always runny and he wasn’t digesting it properly, as the carrots and other ingredients were coming out whole in his poop. Farmers dog also uses peas which I agree is fine in moderation, but larger breeds like boxers are more prone to developing heart problems from lentils. Lentils can lower taurine levels in dogs if they’re given as part of your dogs diet everyday which can cause DCM. Farmers dog is definitely a respectable brand that offers fresh food, but I would make sure you do your research for the requirements of your own dog first. Some dogs require healthy grains in their diet for extra energy, and some are more prone to developing heart problems. All dogs are different, so make sure you find what is right for your own dogs health. Just because one food works for your neighbors Labrador, doesn’t mean it will work well with your pit bull.
I make my own dogs food and peas are one veggi I try to stay away from too
Makes no sense
They would have adjusted his diet accordingly
We are beyond thankful for your particular brand and the storyline behind the creation is exactly how I feel about feeding my Phoebe her food 🥘 it’s real food and she jumps for joy still every morning and evening and she’s been on The Farmer’s Dog for two years now! She’s 6 years old and in perfect health and fit as as she was younger. I can’t ask for a better dog food on planter Earth🐾🥘❤️
Updates like these warm our hearts! Everything we do is for dogs like yours, and we're thrilled to hear Phoebe is doing so well on her fresh recipes 🐾
Is this grain-free food or is this whole grain dog food.
What are the ingredients in your Farmer's Dog Food?
You actually believe that? Just another bogus made up story like literally every single other product advertised on youtube

We placed our first orders today, for our dogs Grace and Pearl.
We thought we were feeding them well, but my husband tended to give them people food also, because he just didn’t like the appearance of dog kibble. Unfortunately, the excess food has made them heavy, and I finally convinced my husband that he needed to spend the money on Farmer’s Dog food that was prepared especially for each dog and their weight issues.
This makes me incredibly happy, as I’ve been frustrated with the ‘love’ snacks and extra food my husband has given them, thinking it’s associated with love.
Now, he can feel he’s spoiling them and they’ll return to a healthy weight and life.
Thank you so much❤️
Their food has vegetables…that’s not at all good for dogs. Get them food without any veggies.

Dogs are omnivores.
They need more than meat.
Several vegetables are good for dogs.
@@61Christina1 Just because they can, doesn’t mean they should. Dogs are designed to rip apart animals and eat meat, not look for gardens to eat peas and carrots.
@@jimothyjimbo8900
Your sarcasm doesn’t go unnoticed.
Omnivores, don’t look for gardens.
They eat grasses, roots, wild berries and vegetables.
Many wild, original variations of garden stock, grow OUTSIDE gardens.
Until you understand what omnivores are, this interaction is a waste of my time.
My husband has already commented how much better our dogs seem to be doing.
Even our vet, has.
@@61Christina1 Dogs are barely omnivores. Wild wolves are not obligate carnivores like most felines, but the vast majority of their diet and nearly all of their protein requirements come from prey, not plants. Domesticated dogs have some differences from wolves, they can synthesize some amino acids and proteins that wolves cannot, and have enzymes to digest some things wolves cannot, so they are more adaptable even than wolves(which are already pretty adaptable) but still the majority of their diet is naturally meat. just because while they can live off of other things does not mean it's not optimal nutritionally. That being said, processed kibbles usually have plant matter, sometimes quite a lot of it, and many many dogs live to be very old off of nothing but this kibble, the processing makes it easier to extract needed nutrition.
Also your anecdote about how much better your dogs doing and how your vet things so means exactly jack shit, it's not a scientific analysis. You need data from thousands of animals which there are such studies done of foods produced by the bigger manufacturers. You're paying many times more money for it and you can't prove it's worth that extra, and meanwhile the actual farmers dog is a border collie that's 18 years old, has been eating ol' roy or kibbles n' bits it's entire life, and still chasing cars.
"my husband tended to give them people food also, because he just didn’t like the appearance of dog kibble. Unfortunately, the excess food has made them heavy," This is a you problem, your perception, and your actions. It's the same as the people saying kibble made their dog fat because they haven't figured out how to measure just yet, a measuring cup is a novel concept to them.
Receive my first order this weekend and fed my dogs some they ate like they haven't been fed in a month they absolutely loved it and they've tolerated it with no issues. I have found a permanent food for my dog. Thank you The Farmers Dog.
I will report progress on their coat there, demeanor, and their previous digestive issues. So far they haven't had any problem at all. I am thrilled.

My wife and I started our pup on this food right away and she's grown up on nothing but this food. We used to order it from farmers dog but then my wife started ordering the make it yourself kit from farmers dog where they give you the recipe for your specific dogs nutrition needs and they send you the nutrient packets to make the same thing yourself. Cutting out the cost of them making it and shipping it saved us significantly on the cost. Now we just adjust it through the farmers dog website as she's grown so that it's meeting her nutrition needs. I've got to say, everyone who sees and pets this pup who's now 1 year old , can't help but mention how soft and healthy she looks and feels. You can see it in her eyes, skin, coat, ears, nose, etc. she's the picture of health and she's grown so well. We like to say that by giving her the gift of such good nutrition as she's grown through her most critical period of life, she's really reached her full genetic potential without anything holding her back or stressing her system out. It's true what they say too, you never realized what a healthy dogs poop looks like compared to the average kibble eating dog poop. You can really see the results of feeding this awesome food in more ways than you'd think and I'm sure we'll never ever feed a kibble food to our dogs ever again. Even the "best" kibble / bagged dog foods use such disgusting practices and ingredients, just look into it for yourself. To anyone reading this, you will never regret feeding your dog a good whole food like this and you will be buying yourself more time with them while reducing health problems and vet bills along the way. Alot of ppl don't realize you can select the option to cook the food yourself and save a good bit of money and this is very different than some unbalanced diy dog food you find online. I'm not affiliated with farmer's dog and don't get paid to endorse them in any way but I've seen this completely transform some of my older dogs and I've seen this make good significant noticeable difference in the way our most recent puppy has grown and I cannot recommend it enough to anyone who is considering it. Whether you order it straight from Farmer's dog or you select the cook it yourself option, you will absolutely see the difference in your dog and you will feel good about blessing them with good real nutritional food over the garbage that we buy in bags.

DIY for the win 🙌
I always thought... "It's a dog... it's dog food." and role my eyes at people going above and beyond buying dog food that's ridiculously expensive, like they're more important than people or something or taking care of my own family. Watching and hearing you explain it in this context just makes sense. Thanks for the eye opener ;).
Your initial instinct was correct, don't give in to the marketing.
I’m hoping this is good. I’ve been making all her food myself for a year. Went to the vet. He told me that it wasn’t as good for her as kibble. So, I changed to kibble. What was I thinking? She has gained 10 lbs. and she’s an active Vizsla. I don’t want to take chances of making it myself anymore, but I’m going back to fresh. I hope this is our answer. My order will arrive next week. 👍🏼
❤🥰😍.Amen. Fresh is best,! If I did have a dog I would definitely 😊also make Her food! ❤😊😍🥰😊
It's expensive but I don't have a child so my dog is like my child and if people can afford to feed their kids good food, or just make that a priority then I knew I could and should make my dogs diet a priority. He's been on the farmer's dog food for a little over a month and he LOVES it. And he doesn't throw up anymore.
You should get married and have some. They are not comparable.
@distilledfreedom1840 there is multiple things wrong with your statement. First of all, no. Secondly, my bf has 3 kids and I'm well aware how much food costs him. I also know that my dog waste zero of his food and children waste a lot of food.
What.@@mackofalltrades3155
He has 3 kids already? gross...good luckwith that

One day i was walking in a field with my dog and i thought to myself, "man, i really bet i could get stupid rubes to pay 5-10x more money to feed their dogs and make me ridiculously wealthy so i can afford superbowl ads to get more stupid rubes."
I’m so glad this company advertised during the World Cup ! That’s how I learned about it. I had been looking for better food for my 2 year old Westie Zoey. She hasn’t started it yet but so far I am super impressed by how the order was packed and the clear instructions provided on how to transition. They responded right away when I reached out with a question. I don’t know ANY other companies that respond that quickly 😃

Thank you for creating this and sticking to it through the tough times! You are making a difference in the world. Many blessings to you!!
My dog, Mona, loves this food! She jumps for joy every time I open up the container I store her food in! Plus, she had a hot spot for years and I couldn’t figure out what was causing it…. Until I switched her food to these guys! Y’all know how to make a dog happy for food! You guys will be the main supplier for all my future dogs forever! Thank you!
Just got mine! So excited to try ❤💪🙏
Just started my extremely picky dog Bentley on The Farmer's Dog a week ago...FINALLY he's eating ALL of his food at EVERY meal and he LOVES it. He literally comes back numerous times after he's finished to lick his dish. I'm so happy he not only now loves meal time but the food is also good for him.
Bot
I don't have a pet, but saw a clip of this commercial and was in awe of how beautiful this dog was.
its alright
I think it’s horrible that some people only feed their dogs dry kibble and nothing else. My pooches love the Farmers Dog
These guys and this company are nothing short of amazing! Bless them for caring enough to turn their wishes into actions. The rest of us who love our dogs as much as they do benefit from the time, energy, loss of sleep and care they have put into this. Others have followed but I have tried them all in search of what was best for my babies. I started with Farmer’s Dog and both I and my dogs loved it, following I tried the others that sound just as good and have a similar model, but at the end of all the trials, Farmer’s Dog won out. There was not any question. Many reasons, but I am happy to be associated with people and a company that keeps the care of my dogs as their most important mission. Not sure I can say that is the motivation of the others out there. Thanks guys!!!
My dog loves Farmer's Dog food! I want the best for him! I love this story! Thank you!
My Jack Russell Terrier Lulu lived to around 17yrs old and for the last two years of her life she was on Farmer’s Dog. I think it helped a lot.
17 years is such a gift 🧡 Thank you for letting us be a part of Lulu's life!
You think it helped a lot? Lol....almost guaranteed would have lived to the exact same age down to the day on literally any dog food.
I just got shown an ad for The Farmer's Dog, and I had to find the original video so I could share this. People need to know this about caring for their dog and making sure they get the right food, and I'm really glad that more and more people are moving toward the right kind of diet for their loved pets.
When my Fiancé and I finally have a dog I'll be very much at peace knowing we're informed and knowledgeable in what's right for them.
This kind of company’s are what the world needs ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Freshpet is another made from fresh pet food that may work for your pup. And surprisingly had been around since the early 2000s. Keep your options open. Your fur baby is worth it!
There’s nothing more cinematic than the farmers dog food commercials
Only 1.4k subscribers??!!??... COME ON WORLD WE CAN DO BETTER THAN THAT! I wish I had heard about this sooner. I can relate to this story so well. I love my baby and you all now have a new and permanent customer!
The vocal fry this guy has makes me want to bash my head against the wall everytime I get one of these ads.
So cute and adorable!
No living being should have to watch the same sad dog food commercials for the rest of their life.
Just ordered out first box for our 13 week mini poodle. I wanted to start him out right from the beginning. He seems like he might already have skin issues so why not try Farmers Dog. I want him to live a long, happy and healthy life. Great video!!
"So why not" Money, that's why.
I'm not crying you're crying.
I have 2 dogs, a husky & a French Bulldog & both of them love this food. My frenchie goes crazy every time he sees me take out the container from the fridge😂 while my husky likes it she can still be picky about it but I mean what husky isn’t picky lol Chicken is her favorite tho
Just placed an order for my dog Roxie. Can't wait for her to try it!
Bravo.
I really love your story and how you serve the dogs as they deserve through healthy food. Wish your company will achieve more success and help more furry friends.
I don’t currently have a dog (in house family member).
I sent this video to my mom though! Her (small Yorkie-Laso mix) ‘OPIE’ is 10+ years old now!
I like what You guys/ Your company is doing!
Thanks so much for your support! We hope Opie gets to try our fresh recipes very soon 😊
My dogs love this food
That commercial nailed it when the hungry dog looked with eyes saddened by yet another disgusting dry processed meal poured into the bowl would be all there is to eat
Imparting human thoughts and emotions on a dog is stupid, most dogs will eat absolutely anything including their own or somebody else's crap, with gusto.
I had to start cooking for mine after a vet recommended it also. One would puke after every meal. One would constipate every few days. Cooking made a difference. I will have to switch to your products eventually. Cooking every few days is ok but sometimes I feel Im not meeting their nutrient needs.
It's true that ensuring a home cooked meal is complete and balanced for dogs can be difficult to meet while not working alongside a veterinary nutritionist. All of our recipes are formulated by board-certified veterinary nutritionists, alleviating the guesswork and necessary research for home cooking. We'd love to feed your dog!

Our Brownie is a Maltipoo and just turned 11 years old and we found out that he has cancer last June 2021 and that he has about 2 months to live. He is still with us and we can hardly get him to eat. He will eat about too bites and then he turns his head away when we try to get him to eat like that every day and we have tried everything we can think of and we are at our wikes end on what to feed him day after day. He wants to eat but want.what to do. Will he eat your food?We don't have any idea that he will. Please help me, he is losing a lot of weight. Down to 8 lbs now. Thank you.
We're so sorry to hear about Brownie's cancer diagnosis, Margaret. We know how difficult this time must be, and while we don’t currently offer specialty diets, all four of our recipes include plenty of fresh vegetables (and the anti-inflammatory polyphenols inside) which have been shown to slow, and in many cases prevent, the development of certain types of cancer. Additionally, our recipes have helped many dogs regain their appetite and enjoy mealtime again. We recommend looking over our recipes with your vet to ensure they will be a good fit for Brownie's current needs. You can find our full list of ingredients and guaranteed analyses on the "Your Plan" section of our questionnaire at www.thefarmersdog.com. We're also happy to help answer any questions and provide more information about our fresh recipes via email at help@thefarmersdog.com or over the phone at (646) 780-7957. Always happy to help!
I'm so sorry about your dog. My little baby Buddy was diagnosed with Cushing's disease (caused by a tumor growing in his pituitary gland in his brain) he's gone blind in one eye and detoriating slowly. The neurologist says we have 4-12 months (that was in March) and we are so broken. I don't know how to live without him. I just wanted to let you know you aren't alone. Losing a pet is so so hard. Best wishes and prayers for brownie. ❤️
Love this food no more anal gland issues or stomach problems. Thank you. ❤
❤❤❤
Do I serve the food cold or can I warm it up?
You can serve it cold or warm it up with warm water. Our dog loves it cold
UPDATE: My boy Finnegan had his first Farmers Dog meal this morning, he loved it! He kept coming back and licking his bowl clean. Thank you to the Farmers Dog for creating healthy food for our babies and buddies 🤙🏼
I just ordered, let my Lola give a try
This is by definition, processed food, as it goes through a mechanical process to cut, mix, and package the food, yet your commercials say that no living being should eat processed food for every single meal of their lives, ironically meaning that this shouldn't be given as every meal. If you're going to use a word or phrase, you might want to know what it means.
Awesome story!
Cut the ultra crispy, melodramatic voice. Change the overly dramatic dialogue.
What is the better business bureau 🤔
Children are starving all over the world. Farmer's Dog efforts could be put into saving human lives. Your commercials sadly miss the point of where food should be offered.
We’re not naive to the fact that many people in the world don’t have access to adequate nutrition, and we would never suggest people nourish their pets at the expense of themselves or their children. Our mission is to help dogs eat their appropriate diets and research is increasingly making clear the health benefits of real, fresh food.
What does it taste like? This saves money on regular groceries?
I'm sure it's good food but it's to expensive, besides you can get fresh pet, which is pretty much the same thing, from pet smart, Walmart and target
While we can't speak to our competitors, our recipes are made with fresh, human-grade ingredients, and don’t include any preservatives. We also personalize your dog's portions to fit their individual daily needs and we offer the convenience of delivering our fresh recipes straight to your door, saving you the trip to the store.
Does anyone know what dog breed is that dog? Looks like a rottweiler but not sure to be honest. Really beautiful dog nonetheless.
Thank you for such a powerful video accompanied by a great song. This occupies my brain frequently in my day to day.
My dogs love this food!
🐶💙
Be careful big companies like Purina/Nestle are gonna try and buy your company.
When will I get the farmers dog food sent to me it's been awhile .
Please give us a call or send us a text at 646-780-7957 - we'll be happy to check on the status of your order!
DO NOT ever sell your company to large pet food conglomerates, who see you as competition to be wiped out!
I watched my dog start to get old over the past couple/few years. So the conversations started to come up about how long will she live. And I wondered why do dogs not live longer, as a Believer in Christ why do Dogs have short lives. Then last week we lost our dog, and I got it, not only everything you say above in your video, but also it's to teach us about death. That we are going to die, these are the feelings your love ones will feel when your gone and that this life is short, it truely is and all that matters is what's after. I hope I will stay true and see my dog again, not suffering and eternally happy!
This guy is the ultimate poon.
Such a beautiful video and the love for dogs is immense! I always loved dogs and had dogs in my life and I have a little guy and started feeding him this food because I know the dangers of kibble ! Man what a difference in his energy and he goes nuts when it's time to eat ! He never did that for kibble he hated it even the most expensive kibble didn't matter ! I love that I feed my dog this yeah it's pricey but if you love your dog he will live a long healthy life with this food and I love my dog ! Thank you farmers dog for putting this product out for all the work you've done to save millions of dogs thank you !
This type of update makes our day. We're so glad your dog is thriving on our fresh recipes 🫶
youre ass kissing a brand, how pathetic are you?
It's cheaper (where I live at least) to make my own fresh food for my dog. Also as long as you talk with your vet about what foods your dog can and can't eat it is absolutely okay to feed your dogs scraps multiple times a day. Just don't over do it. Dogs evolved from wolves by eating our scraps and it is part of there biology to eat a lot of our foods. Dogs are able to eat foods that wolves get sick from because of that evolution. I can appreciate what you are doing but there are other (sometimes better) ways of doing the same thing.
Dogs are beta.

You need a better oil beside sunflower it’s horrible so better use olive oil or avocado

Does anyone else see the irony in the safe and healthy supply of DOG food yet they want humans that care for those dogs to eat crickets and worms and 'plant based proteins'.... ??? Deliver us from evil bring all the real perpetrators attacking the food supply and freedom to justice! We ask this in the name of Jesus Christ who has power and dominion over all! Amen
Huh??
this literally makes no sense. we have complete control over our own diets, dogs do not. they have no idea if the thing they're eating is actually healthy for them or not. humans have the power to do this and it's our responsibility to assist DOGs and other animals, if possible, in this way. do you not believe humans owe at least this amount of respect to creatures which are completely dependent on us? You honestly don't sound very Christ like to me, and don't even seem to understand him as a character. Jesus Christ was not even interested in power or dominion, as you claim.
I used to eat dog food with my dog. Until my dog could told me it wasn't healthy for the humans. I made her laugh when I looked right at her and said with. It's not safe for humans. Then why the hell am I buying it for my dog?

@@hzuiel Arya LOVES the food. She actually whimpers now while I’m preparing it for her. The biggest problem with changing over to the Farmer’s Dog is the amount of drool that I need to clean up off of the kitchen floor. She likes the bowls clean and then comes back four or five times to make sure there’s nothing left. She has lost a few pounds and looks leaner.
@@Mr5150guy I was being sarcastic, Your dog would whimper and drool if you were preparing them a course of rotten banana peels, and deep fried toenail shavings. Dogs eat poop, they eat trash, enthusiastically.
@@hzuiel Drool yes, but not as much. Whimper never. Not in the previous 8 years.
Of course, you believe what you want to believe. If it makes you feel better. Or for whatever other reason. Some people have nothing better to do than to talk bullshit on the Internet.
Sad…
So what if we (human) never eat processed food? 🤔 we would live longer off course ✅ so why don’t we? Why is there sooooo much process food available?
This food is by definition processed. How processed you consider it is subjective, because there's no real definition of what "slightly, moderately, or highly processed" even means. Some studies on humans show moderate benefits to eating "whole" food diets, with less processing, but why is less straight forward. Many foods are better for you, easier to digest, and higher in some harder to find nutrients, once cooked. Having a chemical or mechanical process extract a nutrient like say a healthy oil from a plant should be good for you right? You don't have to work as hard to digest and get the good thing. Yet you have raw food advocates that insist it kills your food to cook it. I tend to think diet is simpler than most people believe, and a lot of people are tricked by fads. In reality it's roughly eat less, move more, prioritize protein over fat, and fat over carbs, if you feel bad, food journal until you figure out what's causing it and stop eating that. The finer nuances are probably pretty unimportant if you maintain a healthy body weight and you don't have any outstanding issues to look into. Someone with uncommon dietary issues, auto immune or intolerance related, may have to make some modifications compared to the average person, but if you focus on those modifications you're less likely to get lost in the weeds.

What am I friends buys your stuff? And she says? Yes, it's a little expensive, but knowing there. Her doggie daughter can eat it. And not have to worry about her getting sick. Like other dog food companies that let's guess. They are shameful and what they do. She loves that your stuff is human. Tested and human grade that means. When she's babysitting her roommates three-year-old son. She doesn't have to worry about him. Eating it and having to go to the hospital.
My dog likes your over priced food, but I really dislike your ads!
Why no grain in Farmer’s Dog? The evidence is mounting that there are heart conditions in dogs that are caused by a lack of grain in the dog’s food. I haven’t spoken to a single veterinarian that recommends a grain free diet. Even if you’re not sure lack of grain is the cause of these heart conditions, what’s the harm in adding grain in the case where the evidence confirms the problem? We feed our dog Farmer’s Dog but we also cook barley to add to his food to add the grain component. Farmer’s Dog bills itself as the complete package for your dog where nutrition and calories are set for your dog’s breed, age, and weight. Doesn’t my having to add grain upset that supposedly meticulous calculation? If you’re not going to put grain in Farmer’s Dog, tell us why.
Dogs in the wild and wolves eat some plant matter, but almost never grain. How in the world could they have heard conditions CAUSED by not eating grain? By what mechanism would their heart be destroyed by the absence of something? Is there a vital nutrient only your heart needs, that's only present in grain? I can pretty much assure you that is not the case for dogs. Dogs have rampant heart disease primarily because of obesity caused by over feeding, and inactivity, just like humans. You also need to read a little harder, the FDA research is based on grain free dog food formulas that contain other ingredients in place of grains such as lentils. The pattern they were noticing of breeds not pre-disposed to a specific heart condition having a significant number of reports of the disease, could be caused by the presence of other ingredients, rather than absence of grains. There is no proof dogs absolutely need barely and literally millions of dogs and wolves, wild or domesticated, have lived and died and never touched, seen, or smelled a grain of barley.
If dogs are supposed to eat what we eat, why don't we just feed them the food we buy rather than buying dog food?
Dogs and humans have different nutritional requirements, so it's important to feed them recipes that are developed to meet their unique needs.
I was told that the 'Ol Roy brand is more nutritious than Farmer's Dog... is this true?
Absolutely not...there is not a dry food on this planet that is more nutritious than all natural ingredients and rich in vitamins. The only thing in dry dog food is cancer creating over cooked pebbles. They take whatever is left from heating it to levels of killing any growth /bacteria....that it's like toasting bread and only eating what is captured on the tray at the bottom.... Sound nutritious?
Hypocrite. 5:12 processed food? Do you think those eggs came from wild chickens?
The inly reason, and i kean the only reason, i dont buy your dog food is because I can't afford it. Its just cheaper to use the processed stuff. I pay $70 for a 40 pound bag of food and that lasts about 8-9 weeks. Your stuff is too expensive.
They don’t live that long but also…

People like you make me sick. Trying to shame people. I priced it out and it’s over 200 a month. If you REALLY want people to feed their dog food like this and you REALLY care. You would make it affordable. The times we are living in, it is not affordable, not even close. I mix in moderation, some eggs, cheese and chicken. She loves it. Would I love to give her more natural food? Sure but I’m not going to move into a cheaper place to do it. I spend 40-50 a month. How can you justify 5 times that? You can’t .
You dropped this 👑
That looks exactly like my dogs 😮

This is great, but there’s a reason most veterinarians suggest you don’t give your dog food that requires refrigeration. There are several instances of the food not being kept cold and spoiling on its journey to its destination. Until you can guarantee otherwise, I’ll continue to feed my pups what their veterinarian suggests.
Fine. It's good dog food. However, there is no good reason to to show bubble slobbering dogs and comments on "quality poop" (what does that guy do with it anyway? Gees!) Particularly while eating lunch or diiner.! These are reasons I have a dominering CAT in control of his home that we live in. Meow!
No this is shutdown
There's more than your "one negative thing about dogs." They stink, they bark, they leave big piles of shit in the yard, they eat a lot, it's like taking care of a person, they get on your neighbor's nerves...
You just know…
The Priests of The Temples Of Syrinx fed their dogs home made dog food!
What??
My boy loves the Farmer’s Dog. Will the Farmer ever get a feline??
We'd love to feed cats one day! We hope you'll follow along for updates.
@@thefarmersdog5701 please make a cat one! i am currently feeding my cat kibble and want to feed him a limited ingredient diet that is balanced.
No, he won't. The pathology of dog owner is that they love to smell the permanent stinky fur-oil that they rub over everything. They love the fake "smile," which there are many videos of a dog "smiling" as they're being violently killed. They hang around them for food only. Should a dog owner drop dead, they become an instant food source by these things they they pretend love them. Each year: 28,000 reconstructive surgeries, over 800,000 trips to the emergency room, 4.7 million bites, 60% of the victims are children, and no calls for these things to be banned. Dogs are an extreme health hazard.
@@josephinetracy1485cats will eat their owners too you know
what about cats?
I saw the commercial with rottweiler and was shocked at how skinny she was. It made me not want to order your product. She looks underweight to me.
I am not an advocate of this brand at all, but what most people think is underweight in dogs, is actually overweight. What most people think is a healthy weight for dogs is actually obese. And what most people actually feed their dogs makes them morbidly obese.
I agree but on the commercial the rottweiler was nothing but ribs and his stomach looked sunken in. I felt bad for him
@@Habitation333 It's a perception thing, happens with people talking about other humans too, the old "you're just skin and bones, here eat something" mentality.
@@hzuiel you are right.😊
The dog in this commercial looks way too skinny.
Hahaa..not skinny but healthy!
What breed dog is Jada the black and tan? Is it mixed? Thanks
Jada is a Rottweiler!
if he had truly cared about dogs this food would be affordable, not financially crippling
The idea is great! You can make it affordable if you make it at home. I make my dogs food at home. The concept is still awesome, cooked clean Whole Foods like we eat. If you eat clean in the first place dogs can eat the leftovers too 😂 that’s cheap!
@@fromthebrightvalley5529 that’s exactly what I do! 😊 found an incredible recipe that includes fresh vegetables, meat, complex carbohydrates, eggshells, etc, plus I use salmon oil and cook my meat with turmeric and coconut oil. Been feeding my pups this recipe for 2 weeks now and it has already solved the problem of hot spots on my german shepherd and has helped my little basenji mix lose the 4 pounds he really needed to, my whole fam is thrilled 🤩
@@aowyn_ can you share with us the recipe?

Ya right...this is almost the same campaign blue buffalo had years ago and that stuff gives your dog heart disease. I'm gonna stuck to purina one because that's what my vet tells me. And I'd recommend anyone else ask their vet before buying this garbage
There are people starving all over the planet who would happily settle for a mouthful of whatever food Is deemed insufficient to feed your dogs by this commercial. This commercial and its ilk are the epitome of the worst of capitalism and everyone involved should be ashamed. I understand that all you intend to do is pull on the heartstrings of dog lovers and sell your commodity, but that we even live in a system that will divert resources to this project while human beings starve and die on this planet is a testament to how twisted the whole system has become. Processed food would be a godsend to millions of humans who would consent to eating it for the rest of their lives if it could be guaranteed to them. Most dogs could care less either. I expect that you turn off a lot of consumers who are capable of thinking about the logical tangential conclusions that can be reached by your emotional hard sell message.
Maybe we should make this product available to human consumers at a discount...some people have to eat dog and cat food or whatever scraps the can get their hands on from dumpsters. I personally don't know how anyone can buy this stuff with a straight face while world human hunger prevails, and I really can't get behind this product. Of course non-processed food is better for animals..that's why we should focus on making it available for all. Maybe we should make a commercial about how humans should eat this food. Because homeless people certainly need this food. Maybe we could encourage rich people who can afford this commodity to adopt humans and share this resource that is being reserved for canines.
