### **Who We Are**
The Farmer’s Dog is the fastest growing pet health service company in the US,
and was born from a mission to change the landscape of pet health, providing
dogs and their humans with honest, smart, and simple care – a fresh
proposition in an industry riddled with manipulative and misleading marketing.
We’re starting by radically improving the $100 billion pet food market,
replacing bulk bags of highly-processed pellets with a personalized
subscription service that sends healthy, freshly-made dog food, balanced by
top veterinary nutritionists, directly to customers’ doors. Our ultimate goal
is to create innovative, honest, and delightful experiences across all aspects
of pet care, and we believe our direct-to-consumer business model, holistic
approach to growth, and dynamic and forward-thinking culture uniquely position
us to shepherd this backwards industry into the future.
To date, The Farmer’s Dog has delivered hundreds of millions of meals
nationwide and raised over $150M in funding to help us build a company as
healthy as the dogs who are eating those meals. Join us as we continue to
develop ways of bringing peace of mind to our customers, health to their
companions, and much-needed change to the way people feed and care for their
pets.
