Review summary

The Farmer’s Dog fresh-cooked, human-grade dog food earns the Advisor’s top rating of 5 stars.

The Farmer’s Dog (Beef) derives the bulk of its meat protein from fresh beef. Dry matter label analysis reveals the recipe contains 39% protein, 29% fat and 24% estimated carbs resulting in a fat-to-protein ratio of about 73%. The food is naturally moist and contains no feed-grade ingredients. A top pick that we enthusiastically recommended. We find The Farmer’s Dog to be an outstanding, grain-free wet food. Each human-grade recipe uses a generous amount of fresh named meat as its main source of animal protein… thus earning the brand 5 stars.
AAFCO nutrient profile: Growth (puppy), Maintenance (adult), All Life Stages, Supplemental or Unspecified.
First 5 ingredients: Chicken, brussels sprouts, chicken liver, bok‐choy cabbage, broccoli

How we rate food
Our brand ratings, assessed on a scale of up to 5, are determined by a sophisticated algorithm that incorporates TrustPilot reviews, User Engagement scores and comprehensive reviews sourced from The Dog Food Advisor.
Dog Food Advisor
Since 2008, The Dog Food Advisor has researched, reviewed and rated more than 5,373 dog food products. We know who actually makes each dog food, the brand’s recall history and the company’s safety practices.
TrustPilot Rating
TrustPilot serves as an expansive, worldwide platform where individuals can share their product experiences through reviews and star ratings. In cases where a brand lacks a TrustPilot score, its rating will rely on the Dog Food Advisor rating.
Engagement Score
The User Engagement score, ranging from 3.00 to 5.00, reflects the level of interaction users have with a brand’s chart listing over the past week. The more clicks a brand receives relative to its peers, the higher its engagement score.
