The Farmer’s Dog, the leader in minimally processed, human-grade dog food, has announced that its personalized meal-plan service will be available through Walmart.com starting in early April. This will make it easier for millions of families nationwide to give the benefits of real food to their dogs.

Starting in April, you can buy fresh food from The Farmer’s Dog at Walmart.com.

“We started The Farmer’s Dog because we saw what real food could do for dogs—and once you see it, you can’t unsee it,” said Jonathan Regev, the company’s CEO and co-founder. “Walmart reaches more American families than just about any company on Earth, which means we can now meet millions of dog owners where they already are. More dogs eating better, living healthier. That’s what this has always been about.”

Since its founding, The Farmer’s Dog has served more than 1 billion meals and helped lead a fundamental shift in how Americans think about feeding their pets—moving the category away from heavily processed options and toward minimally processed, human-grade meals. This expansion comes after groundbreaking metabolomics research highlighted the health improvements of feeding food from The Farmer’s Dog, and underscored the importance of increasing access to a better diet.

Here’s why we’re so excited that more dogs will now be able to eat our food.

We provide evidence-based nutrition.

The Farmer’s Dog started when one dog person saw the incredible difference fresh food made for his own dog. Ten years later, we’ve served more than a billion meals with one goal in mind: to help dogs live healthier, happier lives. Our food is always formulated by on-staff, board-certified nutritionists, and every step of our sourcing, cooking, packaging, and storing processes meets the same standards required for human food.

We portion food for your dog’s individual needs.

Keeping your dog in their ideal body condition is one of the most important things you can do for their health—research shows that dogs at a healthy weight can live up to 2.5 years longer than those who are overweight. 

That’s why our fresh food comes pre-portioned for each dog, taking into account their age, weight, body condition, breed, activity level, spay/neuter status, and other factors. This more precise portioning system (no weighing, or guesstimating scoops vs. weight ranges) makes it easier to manage a dog’s weight. And it’s simple to adjust their portions as they grow, as their needs change, or as directed by your veterinarian.

We put safety first.

We have a team of credentialed food safety experts, including a full-time dedicated microbiologist, focused on screening, monitoring, and verifying safety and quality. They oversee every ingredient, manufacturer, and final product.

Every one of our ingredients is inspected and tested by a third-party laboratory. And we go above and beyond traditional pet food manufacturing standards and regulations by partnering with USDA-inspected and FDA-registered facilities in the US that produce human food. In addition, we require all locations to maintain a third-party Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI) certification.

We’re moving the science of pet health forward.

The Farmer’s Dog is constantly working to advance the science of pet health. To give just a few examples: We’ve invested an additional $10 million in veterinary research, conducted a long-term feeding study with the Cornell University School of Veterinary Medicine, sponsored a veterinary nutrition residency at the University of Tennessee’s College of Veterinary Medicine, and published peer-reviewed research showing that our food helps hydrate dogs and can support healthier aging.

We’re here for you and your dog, 24/7.

Our team is available around the clock, every day of the year, to field your messages and phone calls. Just get in touch, and we’ll get you answers—and help your dog start eating healthy, fresh, complete and balanced food.
