The Farmer's Dog named the NFL's first-ever Official Pet Food Partner. Sep 09, 2026, 06:00 ET The multi-year partnership kicks off with a new campaign starring New York Giants running back Cam Skattebo and his senior rescue dog, Duke NEW YORK, Sept. 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ - The Farmer's Dog(R), the leader in real, human-grade dog food, today announced a landmark, multi-year partnership with the National Football League (NFL), becoming the league's first-ever Official Pet Food Partner. The agreement brings The Farmer's Dog and its mission to one of the most influential cultural platforms in America, introducing millions more dog owners to the power of real food. From players and their families to fans across the country, dogs are by our side through so much of life. They're part of the traditions that make game day special, there through big wins, tough losses, and all the moments in between. The partnership will shine a light on that bond and celebrate the special place dogs hold in the lives of people who love the game. "The NFL is all about bringing people together through shared experiences and community," said Tracie Rodburg, senior vice president of global partnerships at the NFL. "Dogs are an important part of many families, and as the Official Pet Food Partner, The Farmer's Dog will help us celebrate the role they play in our lives and communities throughout the season." Throughout the year, fans can expect exclusive content, experiences at some of the NFL's biggest moments - including Super Bowl LXI, the NFL Combine, and the NFL Draft - and community initiatives through programs like My Cause My Cleats, NFL Salute to Service, NFL FLAG, and more. The partnership launches with New York Giants running back Cam Skattebo and his senior rescue dog, Duke, longtime customers of The Farmer's Dog whose bond embodies the campaign's message. The spot follows them through the moments fans rarely see - the early mornings, long drives, recoveries, and routines that shaped both of them long before the NFL. It also features his Dachshund puppies, Cheech and Daizy, celebrating the joy dogs bring at every stage of life. "I've had Duke for every high and every low. He's been my teammate long before football became my career. I started feeding him The Farmer's Dog because I wanted as many healthy years with him as possible," said Skattebo. "If The Farmer's Dog teaming up with the NFL gets even one more person thinking differently about what they feed their dog, that's something I'm proud to be part of." The NFL and Skattebo join a growing roster of partners - including The Oprah Podcast(R), NASCAR Champion Ryan Blaney, and No. 1 U.S. women's tennis player Jess Pegula - who share The Farmer's Dog's belief in doing the best we can for our dogs. The company also serves as the Official Pet Food of the Dallas Cowboys and the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders and is coming off its Emmy-nominated, USA Today Ad Meter(R)-winning Super Bowl commercial, Forever. "We understand more than ever how much what we eat impacts our health and performance. NFL players live that every day, and people increasingly recognize the same is true for their dogs," said Jonathan Regev, CEO and Co-Founder of The Farmer's Dog. "We started The Farmer's Dog because for too long, feeding your dog meant choosing between different versions of the same ultra-processed food. This partnership gives us an incredible opportunity to show millions more people there's a better way. Everything we do is about helping dogs live healthier lives and giving people more time with them - more games, more Sundays, and more seasons together. Dogs have an incredible ability to make our lives better, and we're proud to partner with the NFL to celebrate that bond and what it means to have a dog by your side through all of it."

The Farmer's Dog adds Crunchy Biscuits to human-grade pet food portfolio. Pet Age Staff//September 1, 2026// The Farmer's Dog, the leader in real, human-grade dog food, has announced the launch of Crunchy Biscuits, a new line of all-natural treats that extends the company's commitment to real food beyond mealtime and into one of the most meaningful daily rituals people share with their dogs: treat time. Crunchy Biscuits are human-grade, all-natural treats made with real, simple, whole-food ingredients, offering an alternative to traditional dog biscuits. That means no added sugars, fillers, or artificial preservatives. Many traditional biscuits remain high-calorie and ultra-processed, even though treats can make up a meaningful part of what a dog eats each day. Crunchy Biscuits bring The Farmer's Dog's approach to food - real food, no ultra-processing, and thoughtful nutrition - to the treats people give their dogs every day. Whether celebrating a walk, rewarding good behavior, or sharing a quiet moment together, treating is part of the everyday bond between dogs and the people who love them. Available in Beef & Sweet Potato, Goat Milk & Blueberries, and Peanut Butter & Pumpkin, Crunchy Biscuits are made to be as enjoyable to give as they are for dogs to eat, with a clean, low-mess crunch and the smell of real food. Developed by the company's on-staff Board-Certified Veterinary Nutritionists, Crunchy Biscuits are just 9 calories per biscuit and feature a snap line for easy portioning. "We started The Farmer's Dog because we knew dogs needed an alternative to the ultra-processed pellets that had become the industry standard, and we're bringing that same thinking to treats," said Jonathan Regev, CEO and Co-Founder of The Farmer's Dog. "As people raise the standard for their dogs' everyday food, we think they should have better options for treats, too. That's why we created Crunchy Biscuits." Since its founding, The Farmer's Dog has served more than one billion meals, helping reshape how people think about feeding their dogs. With Crunchy Biscuits, The Farmer's Dog is extending those same standards to more of life with a dog - making feeding, training, and treating with The Farmer's Dog easier than ever. Crunchy Biscuits are available at The Farmer's Dog and Walmart websites.

Barking up the right tree: NAD reinforces made in USA claim rules, how to fit evidence to claims, and more in wide-ranging premium dog food duel. LinkedIn Facebook X In the increasingly crowded premium pet food market, the battle for "clean label" supremacy often turns on the fine print of processing and sourcing. A recent challenge by The Farmer's Dog against Sundays for Dogs (Case #7523) provides a comprehensive look at how the National Advertising Division (NAD) evaluates the intersection of manufacturing methods, ingredient imagery, and domestic origin claims. The dispute began with a series of comparative claims where Sundays positioned its "air-dried" food prep method as superior to the "frozen" or "kettle-cooked" processes used by competitors. Sundays argued that air-drying is a comparatively gentler process that inherently locks in more nutrients. An advertiser can generally tout the benefits of its own unique manufacturing process, but a claim that one method is "better" than another requires specific, comparative testing. Sundays submitted a variety of evidence in support of its claims. After careful review, the NAD rejected most of this evidence and concluded that Sundays lacked data directly comparing nutrient retention in air-dried food versus the challenger's specific cooking method. As a result, the NAD found the superiority claims overstepped the boundaries of substantiated advertising. The NAD also analyzed comparative claims that Sundays' food was "up to 55% less pricey" than frozen competitors. It found that, given the small size of the frozen dog food market and The Farmer's Dog's prominent position within it, reasonable consumers would likely interpret the comparison as including The Farmer's Dog - even though it was not named explicitly in the ads. Although Sundays provided competitor pricing analyses, the NAD determined that The Farmer's Dog was sometimes less expensive than Sundays, so the claim of "up to 55% less pricey than The Farmer's Dog" was not consistently supported. As a result, the NAD recommended that Sundays qualify its price comparisons with the average prices of frozen competitors and avoid making specific savings claims unless such claims can be substantiated. In an unusual turn, the NAD also rejected a scientific paper submitted by Sundays on the grounds that it appeared to be of "dubious origin and possibly AI-generated." By giving the document no weight, the NAD reiterated that the responsibility for vetting the authenticity of technical substantiation rests solely with the advertiser. This move underscores the need for advertisers to ensure that their evidence is both a good fit for the underlying claims and of sufficient quality to support those claims in the first place. This scrutiny extended to the visual language of the advertiser's campaign as well. Sundays' marketing featured vibrant imagery of whole strawberries, tomatoes, and mushrooms to represent its "100% meat and superfoods" formulation. However, the record revealed that while the nutrients from these foods were present, they were often included in the form of extracts or powders rather than the whole ingredients pictured. The NAD determined that this disconnect could mislead consumers into expecting whole food pieces in the bowl, or that whole foods were used as ingredients. The decision serves as a reminder that imagery is a claim in itself; if a product uses processed derivatives rather than whole foods, visual representations should be clearly qualified to avoid conveying unsupported implied claims. Finally, the NAD evaluated "Made in USA" claims by the advertiser. These claims are particularly high salience for pet owners concerned about safety and quality. Sundays made an unqualified claim that its food was made in the United States, but disclosed elsewhere in its marketing materials that certain essential ingredients - specifically fish oil and beef bone - were sourced from outside the country. Under the "all or virtually all" standard followed by the FTC and NAD, even a small amount of foreign content can disqualify a product from an unqualified domestic origin claim if that ingredient is essential to the product's function. In this case, while the imported components were small in volume relative to the entire recipe, they were vital to the nutritional profile of the dog food. Consequently, the NAD recommended that Sundays qualify its claim to reflect the presence of imported ingredients, reinforcing that there is no de minimis exception for functional essentials in the "Made in USA" analysis.
