As Alex Drummond’s first baby (before the human children came along), George the Floof has always been well cared for. He has a cozy dog bed for long car rides to Oklahoma and a splash pad for those hot Dallas days. He also gets groomed on a regular basis to keep his majestic coat in tip-top shape.
The other way Alex ensures he has a long, comfortable life ahead? His food! The Farmer’s Dog has been Alex’s go-to dog food brand for years. She says that George is “obsessed” with each meal. “He downs it,” she notes (after patiently waiting to be served like a good boy, of course).
The Farmer’s Dog is a subscription service that delivers minimally processed, human-grade dog food right to your door, formulated and proportioned for your pup’s needs. Alex says it’s “honestly so convenient and easy,” and it just got even more so, because it’s now available at Walmart! You can order right through their site and keep all your human and pet needs all in one place.
It’s easy to get started, too. On the site, you can take a quick two-minute quiz to help them get to know your dog a bit better: age, size, breed, activity level, etc. You can even mark if they have a prescription diet. Then you can build a plan. Choose from 14- or 21-day delivery schedules and select which flavors your pup likes best: beef, chicken, or turkey, with or without grains. You can also order variety packs. Oh, and you can build a profile for each dog if you have more than one.
And that’s it! You’re just a few days away from food made from real meat and veggies, all delivered right to your door. The formulas, which were developed by vet nutritionists, come in pre-portioned pouches that you simply snip open and scoop out. The food arrives frozen and should be stored in the fridge or freezer, because it is perishable, real food just like humans would eat.
Alex confirms that having fresh food for her dog really does make a difference. George’s coat is “so shiny, so healthy, so fluffy,” she says, and “his digestion is very regular.” Plus, he clearly loves the taste. So, if you’ve always wanted to check out the service, now is the time—because Walmart makes ordering so easy. If your dog had thumbs, he’d be placing the online order right now. But since he doesn’t, lend him a human paw and get to it!
