Fresh Food for Whippets

If you’re looking for a calm, sweet companion who is still up for zooming around at the park, look no further than the whippet. A sighthound like the greyhound (in fact, they’re often mistaken for undersized greyhounds), with eyes on the side of their head and a distinctive, S-shaped body, the whippet was initially bred to hunt small game such as rabbits, but now they’re more commonly found participating in agility competitions and as beloved family members.

While whippets require plenty of physical and mental stimulation to thrive, they’re rather quiet and sensitive. Whippet lovers know, however, that they’re special companions: always wanting to be by their family’s side and ready to cuddle whenever you are.

A diet of fresh dog food for your whippet is the best way to support their health and happiness—along with daily exercise, regular vet care, and a calm, cozy home.

Why fresh is best for your Whippets

Highly processed kibble can contribute to many issues that can compromise your Whippets’s health. Recipes from The Farmer’s Dog are made with fresh, human-grade ingredients, steamed to retain nutrients, and pre-portioned to help maintain weight.

Dial up dental health (and fresh breath!)

For dogs like whippets, who may be prone to dental disease, don’t look to a dried pellet to clean teeth. Kibble is an ultra-processed food—it sticks to teeth, contributing to plaque, and it can contain substances that actually fuel inflammation in the tissues of the body, including the mouth. Eating for dental health means eating for overall health. A fresh, whole-food diet promotes a healthier immune system, which helps ward off dental infections—and it doesn’t stick to teeth.

Know what’s in the bowl

For whippets with dry and itchy skin, sensitive stomachs, or other signs of food allergies and sensitivities, it’s important to know exactly what you’re feeding—something that can be impossible with kibble, which often contains ingredients not listed on the bag. Allergies and intolerances to food are all too common and many dog owners notice symptoms clear up when they switch to fresh food.

Maintain a healthy weight

It’s critically important to avoid overfeeding any dog, big or small. Being even a little overweight can increase your whippet's odds of developing a host of diseases like arthritis, diabetes, and even cancer. A fresh-food plan, tailored to your dog’s needs, and delivered in pre-portioned packs, makes weight maintenance easy.

What customers are saying about fresh dog food

“Obi had terrible allergies. We tried everything. After switching to The Farmer’s Dog he doesn’t have one single hot spot, and he doesn’t lick his paws chronically anymore. He also has a bunch of energy.”
— Obi’s mom
“As soon as we brought The Farmer’s Dog home, her skin was better, she was more active (and high quality poops!). If I can invest in her health and be proactive I think it’s worth it.”
— Tyene’s dad
“Atticus had bad gas and diarrhea. I just thought it was part of having a big dog. With The Farmer’s Dog, it was a complete 180. I should have known that what you put in your body makes a huge difference.”
