The Farmer’s Dog was created by two dog lovers to radically improve the $90 billion global pet food industry — starting with a subscription service that sends freshly-made food directly to customers’ doors. Brett Podolsky’s dog Jada suffered from severe stomach issues for the first two years of her life, before he tried home-cooking for her on the advice of a vet. Seemingly overnight, she was cured. Brett soon realized that the way pet food was being marketed was very different than the way it was made, so he teamed up with his friend, Jonathan Regev (and his dog, Buddy), to build the product they wished existed for their own dogs. Today, The Farmer’s Dog has served millions of meals nationwide through its personalized plans, delivering fresh, healthy food to dogs and peace of mind to their humans. Long term, our aim is to simplify every part of pet care, bettering the lives of the animals who make our lives better. We recently raised our Series C, bringing our total funding to over $100M. We're backed by the early investors of Warby Parker, Dollar Shave Club, Sweetgreen, and Glossier, and are aiming to build a company as healthy as the dogs we feed. Join The Farmer’s Dog team as we continue to figure out ways of bringing peace of mind to customers, health to their companions, and much-needed change to the way people feed and care for their pets. We want everyone who works at The Farmer’s Dog to be their authentic selves. For dogs, authenticity is the default. For people, we need to be more intentional about creating an environment where authenticity is the norm. That’s why we’re committed to hiring and supporting a diverse workforce, and investing in policies, hiring processes, and training that create and sustain an inclusive team.

Freshpet is the leading fresh food for dogs and cats, feeding fresh to over 12 million pet households. Since its conception in 2006, Freshpet has been on a mission to transform the lives of dogs and cats through the power of fresh, nutritious food, while pushing the boundaries of sustainable practices. The recipes are developed by Veterinarian Nutritionists and made with natural whole ingredients, like fresh meats, vegetables and fruits, which are cooked in small batches at lower temperatures to preserve their natural goodness. Sustainably-made in Bethlehem, PA and their new Kitchens in Ennis TX, Freshpet foods and treats are kept refrigerated until they arrive at Freshpet fridges in your local market, or are delivered direct to your door. Freshpet is available in a growing number of mass, grocery, natural food, club, and pet specialty retailers across the United States, Canada and Europe, as well as online in the U.S. for direct delivery and through its partnership with Petco. From the care taken in partnering with farmers whose values align with theirs, to how each recipe is made, Freshpet’s commitment to integrity, transparency and social responsibility is a point of pride.

“Our love for dogs is truly the guide upon which we base our product and business.” - Shawn Buckley It all starts with nutrition. The single most important element to a dog's life,(after he has found the love of his family) is his daily diet. The food you put in your dog's body, more than anything else, will determine his future health, happiness, energy level and perhaps even his vet bills. 100% of the ingredients we use to make JustFoodForDogs are certified for human consumption by the USDA. All of our dog recipes are cooked at minimum levels in our own kitchens in Newport Beach and West Hollywood, California. They are not a 'factory' or a 'plant' certified to make dog food but kitchens that have never seen the presence of even one 'feed quality' ingredient - ever. This method is much more hands on, it takes longer and costs more but it retains the nutritional value of the ingredients and in our view, makes JustFoodForDogs the best food in the world for your dog.
