No pet food, including The Farmer’s Dog, can technically be “AAFCO-approved” because the Association of American Feed Control Officials (AAFCO) does not approve, certify, or endorse any pet foods. However, The Farmer’s Dog recipes are developed to meet or exceed AAFCO nutrient profiles, meaning they are complete and balanced according to AAFCO standards for all life stages of dogs.
The Farmer’s Dog food is formulated by board-certified veterinary nutritionists and is backed by clinical research, including multi-year feeding trials. It is made with human-grade ingredients in USDA- and FDA-compliant facilities. By following— and often exceeding—AAFCO guidelines, The Farmer’s Dog ensures that your pet receives high-quality, nutritious meals that meet industry standards for safety and nutritional adequacy. This makes it a trusted option for dog owners who want food that meets rigorous scientific and health benchmarks.
