No, The Farmer’s Dog food is not raw. Instead, it is classified as “fresh” dog food that is gently cooked at low temperatures to ensure safety and retain nutrients, then delivered frozen to maintain freshness. This gentle cooking process distinguishes it from raw dog food, which is never cooked at all. By cooking the food, The Farmer’s Dog eliminates potential pathogens commonly found in raw diets, while preserving much of the natural flavor and nutritional value found in whole ingredients.
The Farmer’s Dog uses only human-grade ingredients—meats, vegetables, and added nutrients—formulated by veterinary nutritionists to meet or exceed the nutritional levels established by the AAFCO Dog Food Nutrient Profiles. Meals are made in USDA-approved kitchens and are shipped directly to your door, pre-portioned for your pup’s individual dietary needs. This approach combines the digestibility and palatability of fresh food with the safety of light cooking, making The Farmer’s Dog a convenient and health-focused alternative to both raw and kibble diets for modern pet owners. If you’re ready to switch to healthy, hassle-free meals for your dog, you can get started through The Farmer’s Dog’s website.
