If you think a chicken nugget is bad at least it’s legal for humans to eat. For pet food and kibble, ingredients are so toxic they have to be burned and sterilized to make them safe for consumption. The Farmer’s Dog is creating a new option with their line of fresh dog meals, customized to individual pets, delivered on a subscription bases. Co-founders Brett Podolsky (@brettpodolsky) and Jonathan Regev (@jyyoni) join host Jennifer Leuzzi (@mmesnack) in-studio to talk about how they are disrupting the $75-billion pet industry, their recent $39-million Series B round, and their dogs Jada (@jadaandlouie) and Budino (@scruffybeagle). Our focus group of two, representing dogs and their owners, is Heritage Radio Network's Kat Johnson (@kathryncrosby) and her dog Daisy (@daisybucanine). Thus episode of Tech Bites (@techbiteshrn) was made possible by the generosity of the Museum of Food and Drink (@mofad). Tech Bites is powered by Simplecast.

When Brett Podolsky's dog was chronically unwell, he had an idea: What if he bought the same ingredients listed and in the commercial brand he was feeding her, and made her fresh food? The change in her health was drastic, and led to Brett, who was then working as a comedian, convincing his best friend, Jonathan Regev, to start a subscription-based high-end dog food company with him. Now three years old, their Brooklyn-based company, The Farmer's Dog, has secured some ten million dollars in VC funding and their health-supportive recipes are being enjoyed by tens of thousands of grateful dogs throughout the country. Annie and Brett discuss what it takes to start a dog food company from scratch, the problems behind commercial dog food, and the shifts in dog owner awareness that are leading to a tide change in the pet food realm.

Podcast@SchoolForTheDogs.com --- Partial Transcript: Annie: Hey everyone. Today I am speaking to Brett Podolsky, who is one of the founders of The Farmer's Dog, which is a high end dog food subscription company. I first discovered The Farmer's Dog three or so years ago, not long after they opened up shop because I was at a cafe that I often go to near my apartment. And there was a guy there with a dog and he and I started talking about his cute dog and it came up in conversation that we're both dog business entrepreneurs. And I started looking into his company and that was Brett’'s business partner, Jonathan Ragiv. A year later, I was reading about them in Forbes.com. And last year, I read that they had secured an $8 million investment. At which point I realized these guys were actually maybe a big deal. So I was psyched to get the opportunity to talk to Brett **music** Annie: So tell me how you guys got started. Brett: Yeah, so Jonathan was actually living with me at the time. Annie: And how did you two know each other to begin with? We met abroad and basically just like hit it off and spent every single day with each other. Literally it might be like four and a half years now. Annie: Were you traveling together? Brett: Yeah. Yeah. We met like on a trip. And we bonded over, I think it was funk music and yeah, after that, we just had one of those moments, like, did we just become best friends? And then after that, yeah, we basically spent every single day with each other for years. Annie: So were you like trying to figure out what kind of business you could do together, or were you suddenly inspired by the idea of a dog food? Brett: No, it's funny. Well, when I met him, I thought besides just being like a great person, I thought he was like the smartest person I've ever met. So I was like, I definitely, if I'm going to start a business, that man will be my business partner. I don't know if that's what he was thinking at the time. He had been working on a couple of different startups. Full Transcript available at SchoolfortheDogs.com/Podcasts/

Photo cred: @bonberi Our interview today is a special one. We get to have 45ish minutes with a man after our own heart. Brett Podolsky, joins us on the mic as co-founder of The Farmer’s Dog.

Just imagine: dog food made out of “real, actual ingredients just like you’d find in a grocery store,” delivered conveniently to your door. That’s what The Farmer’s Dog does. Lots of so-called premium pet foods claim to be healthy, natural, or fresh. But as founder Jonathan Regev says, “When you actually open the product or experience the product it's not really differentiated at all. And so all we've done is produce the product in a way that it actually is real and fresh and natural and people can see that. It has tangible benefits to their dog as well.” Sure, there are other companies in various cities producing phenomenally expensive dog foods of a similar quality—what The Farmer’s Dog does that’s so compelling is provide a subscription service tailored to your dog’s consumption, and delivery it directly to you, at a lower price point than those other guys. In doing so, they created a scalable business—a very different player in the marketplace than these boutique solutions. Listen to Karl Ulrich and Jonathan discuss the challenges in making this venture scalable, from finding a human grade food manufacturer who was willing to make food for dogs, to working out the kinks in the subscription service so that dogs never miss a meal (and you never waste food), to figuring out how long to bootstrap, and when to raise funds.
