The Farmer’s Dog was founded by two dog dads who were fed up with the ever-growing gap between how pet food was marketed (Wolves! Nature! T-bone steak!) and how it was actually made (Inedible meats! Rendered powders! Extreme processing!). They wanted to make it easier for owners to care for their beloved dogs — starting with truly healthy pet food options. Our mission resonates with dog owners of all types across the country, but just as importantly, it continues to draw to our team some of the most brilliant, passionate, and caring dog people on the planet. We come from a wide array of personal and professional backgrounds. Your role could involve developing systems to safely and swiftly deliver fresh food to doorsteps around the country, or creating products and experiences that inspire dog people to rethink a century-old habit. But wherever you find your fit, we guarantee you’ll come to work every day and immerse yourself in an unmatched, values-driven company culture of curiosity, fun, and dog hair. If this sounds like an environment in which you’d thrive, we’d love to hear from you. Roles we’re actively seeking to fill in both our NYC and Nashville offices are listed below, but if there isn’t anything that sounds like a great fit, we’d still love you to introduce yourself to us at [email protected]. Our one requirement? You #mustlovedogs.
