Who We Are

The Farmer’s Dog (TFD) was created to turn the unconditional love we all have for our pets into uncomplicated care. Though TFD’s starting point is disrupting the ultra-processed $90 billion pet food industry with fresh, healthy options made to human-food safety standards, their ultimate goal is to create amazing and never-seen-before experiences for pets and their owners across all aspects of pet care. What if dog owners had the entirety of their dog’s nutrition completely taken care of with maximum peace of mind? What if users could rely on The Farmer’s Dog for all of their pets’ needs? What if they could manage their pet care entirely from a single platform? The company’s direct-to-consumer business model, its consistent triple digit growth, and healthy financials will allow The Farmer’s Dog to continue disrupting pet nutrition and care for years to come. 

Everything about the experience The Farmers’ Dog creates depends on technology, from when customers first interact with the brand and share information about their pets and their needs, to when they personalize the best fresh meal plan for a customer’s dog, to an algorithm that optimally “fills” each delivery box, to the pricing engine, to the software that runs their fulfillment centers for maximum efficiency. The Farmer’s Dog is looking for a kind, competent, and fast-moving technology leader that can lead them through this next phase of growth and help them realize their tech-enabled vision.

Backed by the early investors of Warby Parker, Dollar Shave Club, Sweetgreen, and Glossier, The Farmer’s Dog seeks to build a company as healthy as the dogs they feed. They recently raised their Series D in March of 2021, bringing total funding to over $150M.
