Who We Are

The Farmers Dog was born from a mission to change the landscape of pet health providing dogs and their humans with honest smart and simple care. Were starting by radically improving the multibillion dollar pet food industry replacing bags of highlyprocessed pellets with a personalized subscription service that sends complete and balanced freshlymade dog food directly to customers doors. Our ultimate goal is to create innovative delightful and personalized experiences across all aspects of pet care and we believe our directtoconsumer business model holistic approach to growth and dynamic culture uniquely position us to shepherd this backwards industry into the future.

One Team:We dont think of ourselves as Acquisition Marketers Engineers Data Analysts or Product Managers. Beyond denoting skill sets and areas of expertise we dont think departments matter. Wed rather align ourselves to the goals were working to achieve and make sure we have necessary subject matter expertise to drive meaningful impact. We strive to orient ourselves around customer problems TOGETHER getting the right people with the right context in the right rooms/Zooms to solve problems holistically.

We are skeptical about everything and precious about nothing:Ideas can and should come from anywhere and we arent tied to our own. We proactively source input. We talk to our customers and leads regularly and are quick to change course if we know theres a better or more impactful way to solve problems.

We consider the customer journey in all of our decisions:We know that no interaction exists in a silo and therefore understand how important every single one is. We ensure our strategy sets prospective and new customers up for success and drives longterm retention. We answer questions and address problems early and proactively. We understand the value of different channels initiatives and messages and know how to articulate impact and advocate for prioritization holistically.

We Execute For Impact:We dont subscribe to best practices or industry KPIs. Were uninterested in how we compare to benchmarks; instead we orient ourselves around being the best we can possibly be. Similarly we dont subscribe to rigid or classical expectations of roles i.e. acquisition is hyperfocused on improving customer retention and experience.

We Are Focused and Work Without Assumption: We are not beholden to ideas. We have goals and believe everything beyond that is a series of hypotheses to validate. To that end we seek to work in sequence and not in parallel. We constantly ask ourselves whats the most important hypothesis I should be working on right now How do I confirm or reject that hypothesis as fast as possible. We rarely have timelines/deadlines and are constantly taking in new information and adjusting our priorities accordingly. We dont expect to be perfect the first time.
