The Farmer’s Dog offers a variety of ready-to-eat, human-grade fresh food, including formulas with and without grains. We now carry beef, chicken, and pork in both grain-inclusive and grain-free varieties. All of our ready-to-eat diets are 100% complete and balanced, and come pre-portioned.

Here’s everything you need to know about grains in The Farmer’s Dog fresh food.

What are grains?

Grains are the edible seeds from grasses called cereal crops, such as wheat, barley, and oat. These cultivars are staples in a human diet, and can also be used in dog foods. Rice, barley, oats, millet, corn, and wheat are all grains that dog-food formulas may use.

Does The Farmer’s Dog food have grains?

We offer pre-portioned, gently cooked formulas both with and without grains. Currently, our grain-inclusive options include:

• Chicken & Grain
• Beef & Grain
• Pork & Grain

Our Chicken & Grain, Pork & Grain, and Beef & Grain formulas all include oats. Oats are a good source of an omega-6 fatty acid dogs need called linoleic acid. Oats also have plenty of fiber. This can help support gut health and provide a feeling of fullness, which may help dogs on a weight loss plan.

Is a grain-inclusive formula right for my dog?

All of our ready-to-eat fresh foods are formulated by on-staff, board-certified nutritionists to be complete and balanced, and support dogs’ overall health. Every dog is different, and your veterinarian is the most qualified person to offer advice about what specific food is appropriate for your best friend.
