Overview
The Farmer’s Dog was born from a mission to change the landscape of pet health, providing dogs and their humans with honest, smart, and simple care. We’re replacing bags of highly-processed pellets with a personalized subscription service that sends complete and balanced, freshly-made dog food directly to customers’ doors.

Educate and empower veterinarians and hospital teams through engaging conversations, lectures, roundtables, and direct collaboration — identifying learners’ needs to shape educational content. Bring the voice of veterinary professionals to internal teams — shaping product and marketing strategies to meet veterinarians’ and dogs’ needs. Coach and collaborate with internal teams to connect with veterinary partners and stay aligned with best medicine and nutritional science. Partner with leadership to develop innovative strategies that drive lasting change in how the veterinary community approaches nutrition. Invest in your own growth — staying current on veterinary and nutrition science, practice management, and evolving pet care needs. Qualifications / What You’ll Bring
A Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM or equivalent) and an active veterinary license in good standing. 5+ years of clinical experience in companion animal general practice. Passion for nutrition, wellness, and advancing dog health. Strong interpersonal and communication skills — love connecting with people and having real conversations.

Curiosity, positivity, and a mission-driven mindset — you’re here to make a difference for dogs. How We Work
Think holistically — recognizing that nutrition, medicine, and wellness are interconnected. Focus on the right problems — prioritizing impact on dogs’ lives. Let science and real-world insights guide us — data-driven and dog-centered. Collaborate deeply and transparently — with veterinary professionals to create meaningful solutions. Execute for impact — delivering results for real dogs and their humans. Office Guidelines
