The Farmer's Dog Review - Bunny's Buddies

As many of you know by now, I am not a fan of conventional kibble. Not only is it not a well-balanced, nutritious meal, but the links to numerous health problems and the fact that it is processed with high heat and likely carcinogenic was more than enough for me to know I had to dump it.

According to Dogs Naturally magazine, a study of 522 dogs by Lippert and Sapy (2003) showed that dogs who were fed high-quality, freshly made, real food diets had an average life expectancy of 13.1 years versus just 10.4 years for dogs fed commercially processed pet food! That’s an extra THREE years, hopefully, with your favorite fur baby. Not to mention, once you get your pets off kibble or low-quality food, you will be blown away at how much healthier they become. Any skin issues or allergies will often clear up and their coat becomes so shiny and strong!

For more reasons on why we dumped kibble, yes, even the better brands like Acana or Orijin, I highly suggest renting Pet Fooled for FREE on Amazon ASAP.

So now that we know kibble has to go, what do you feed your dog instead? Well, I know that it’s not always easy, financially, to eliminate kibble and make your food from home the way we do, but if your priority is your dog’s health, I always want to share some better options for you guys to choose from and The Farmer’s Dog is one, plus, you can even try them out for 50% OFF right now which is major so let’s go through some pros & cons on this option for your pet to see if it might be the one for you!

CONS-

This came frozen which means it needs more time to thaw out before serving but it very quickly thaws in warm water. However, it is in plastic so heating plastic does increase the risk of the plastic leaching into the food so thawing beforehand is best.
An entire day’s worth of food is in one pack, so you have to portion it out.
Ingredients are not Organic.
They do not allow you to choose the delivery day since it depends on your location.
They do not have samples, only a two-week trial period.
The only subscription option is delivery every two weeks.
It does not offer cat food, sorry kitties!
It does not offer a discount for subscribing to a larger delivery.

PRICE- This is based on 1 of my dog’s size, age, and serving him just two meals per day. I prefer 3 meals if possible.
