About The Farmer’s Dog:
The Farmer’s Dog (TFD) is on a mission to make dogs healthier and happier by feeding them freshly prepared food, designed for long term health. Formulated by boarded veterinary nutritionists from day one, we value the veterinary profession and seek to partner with the veterinary community to advance the conversation around evidence-based nutrition and elevate the standard of care for pets everywhere.
Student Ambassador Program Overview:
The Farmer’s Dog is seeking motivated second- or third-year veterinary students to serve as Student Ambassadors.
The Farmer’s Dog Student Ambassador Program offers second-or-third year veterinary students enrolled in AVMA -accredited veterinary programs the opportunity to build leadership skills, connect with industry experts, and represent TFD within their academic communities. Ambassadors participate in on-campus activities within their respective academic communities, support education around evidence-based nutrition, and provide feedback that help inform TFD’s initiatives.
In this role, students act as peer leaders and mentors, serving as a trusted resource for classmates about TFD products and services while advancing pet care through thoughtful conversations about canine nutrition.

At TFD, we believe Belonging is a shared commitment to creating a workplace where every person feels respected, valued, and empowered to be themselves. When people feel a true sense of belonging, they do their best work, take smart risks, and bring forward diverse perspectives — leading to stronger decisions and deeper relationships. We anchor this belief in a simple phrase: “Everyone’s welcome at the dog park.” No matter your background, identity, or role, there’s space for you here. There’s no one way to show up at the dog park— just shared space, mutual respect, and the freedom to be yourself. Being included is just the beginning, it’s about contributing your voice, growing through challenges, and building trust through shared goals. This philosophy guides how we lead, how we hire, how we communicate, and how we grow.
We continuously evaluate to ensure we are creating a consistent experience that cultivates belonging for all employees, from hiring and performance reviews to talent development. We also believe Belonging happens in everyday moments of connection; lunch with a new teammate, a shared laugh, or a quick story about your weekend. Our structure includes biannual employee surveys, manager training, TFD camps, and support from Humans to ensure we’re listening and learning from our Team.
Together, these efforts reflect what Belonging means at TFD: a culture where everyone can thrive.

The Farmer’s Dog was created by two dog lovers to radically improve the $100 billion global pet food industry — starting with a subscription service that sends freshly-made food directly to customers’ doors.
Brett Podolsky’s dog Jada suffered from severe stomach issues for the first two years of her life, before he tried home-cooking for her on the advice of a vet. Seemingly overnight, she was cured. Brett soon realized that the way pet food was being marketed was very different than the way it was made, so he teamed up with his friend, Jonathan Regev (and his dog, Buddy), to build the product they wished existed for their own dogs.
Today, The Farmer’s Dog has served hundreds of millions of meals nationwide through its personalized plans, delivering fresh, healthy food to dogs and peace of mind to their humans. Long term, our aim is to simplify every part of pet care, bettering the lives of the animals who make our lives better.
To date, The Farmer’s Dog has raised over $150M in funding to help us build a company as healthy as the dogs who are eating those meals. We're backed by the early investors of Warby Parker, Dollar Shave Club, Sweetgreen, and Glossier, and are aiming to build a company as healthy as the dogs we feed.
Join The Farmer’s Dog team as we continue to figure out ways of bringing peace of mind to customers, health to their companions, and much-needed change to the way people feed and care for their pets.
We want everyone who works at The Farmer’s Dog to be their authentic selves. For dogs, authenticity is the default. For people, we need to be more intentional about creating an environment where authenticity is the norm. That’s why we’re committed to hiring and supporting a diverse workforce, and investing in policies, hiring processes, and training that create and sustain an inclusive team.
