We're at the forefront of bringing real food to pets - no rendered meat meals or meat by products, no preservatives, only 100% natural meat, fruits & veggies for our furry friends. We're making the next best thing to a homecooked meal, adding vitamins and minerals to make it complete and balanced, and gently cooking it to retain essential nutrients. From our kitchen to yours, we believe pets deserve the healthiest life, and that starts with fresh real food. Our pet parents are always sharing how much they love our food and see the benefits of feeding their dogs Freshpet. We’ve received thousands of letters from pet parents telling us of the amazing benefits they’ve seen in their dog after feeding Freshpet. From picky eaters who now love mealtime, to senior dogs who now act like puppies, we just love to hear their transformation stories.

Here are just some of the ways that Freshpet food makes a difference in the lives of dogs.

• Increased energy as fresh meats are nutrient dense, so our foods easily convert into maximum energy.  What does that mean for your pets? More playtime. 
• Shiny, soft skin & coat because fresh meats and eggs provide fatty acids to keep coats healthy and help prevent dry skin and shedding.  
• Healthy weight because high-protein meals with amino acids and other nutrients help build lean muscle, while the right ingredients help pets reach and maintain a healthy weight. 
• Improved digestion since our fresh refrigerated meals are highly digestible, with fiber to help prevent stomach upsets. 
• Allergy relief due to some grain-free recipes, single protein sources and no fillers

Our tasty recipes are crafted for optimal nutrition. We blend high quality proteins — like Chicken, Beef, Salmon and Eggs—with prebiotic-rich veggies and fruits.  Each nutrient-rich meal is gently steamed to retain the vital nutrients your dog needs and kept refrigerated until it reaches your door.


All our recipes are rigorously formulated and approved by Dr. Gerardo Perez-Camargo, our resident veterinarian and Head of R&D, who holds a PhD in Applied Biochemistry and Food Science. Freshpet recipes are 100% complete and balanced, complying with AAFCO's nutritional standards. They meet the requirements for canine nutrition, going above minimum and staying below maximum required levels.


We’re also proud to have established the Freshpet Nutrition Council, a group of board-certified DVMs, DVNs, DACVNs and PhDs who guide, supervise and validate our research.

Freshpet recipes are made with natural and fresh meat, vegetables, fruits and whole grains.  We believe in building long-term supplier partnerships to source healthy and sustainable ingredients with many being locally sourced to our Freshpet Kitchens.  96% of our ingredients are from North America.  The other 4% are non-domestic, such as Europe, and are also non-Chinese origin. 

We carefully monitor incoming ingredients and work with our partners to ensure they adhere to our high-quality standards.

  

Freshpet recipes are 100% complete and balanced, complying with AAFCO's nutritional standards. They meet the requirements for canine nutrition, going above minimum and staying below maximum required levels. All formulas contain the essential vitamins, minerals, and amino acids to fulfill guaranteed life stages. However, it's important to note that Freshpet treats are not complete and balanced meals.

Freshpet refrigerated food is made in our very own US Freshpet Kitchens.

Freshpet is not raw.  Freshpet products are fresh, refrigerated recipes that are gently steam cooked at low temperatures to preserve key nutrients.

All Freshpet Custom Meals products are designed to be stored in your refrigerator [unopened] until the Sell By Date, which is printed directly on the package. Use contents of bag within 7 days of opening.


While our food is made to be served fresh from the fridge, you can feel free to freeze any unused portions. Keep in mind texture and moisture levels may vary after freezing, but this will not change the nutritional value of the food. 

If you do opt to freeze our food, it is best to portion the food and seal in airtight packaging. When ready to use, thaw in the refrigerator and use within the same day. We recommend using within one month of freezing for optimal freshness. However, recipes can be frozen for up to 6 months.

Our Custom Meals recipes are suitable for puppies because they are designed for all life stages with one exception*. A puppy’s feeding requirements change rapidly for healthy growth and are adjusted differently than adult dogs. When you build a plan, you'll have the option to include your puppy. We'll provide general guidelines on how you can adjust their feeding amounts to ensure they get the right nutrition for their continuous growth. For our generic puppy feeding guidelines table, please visit freshpet.co/feedfresh. *Please note, our one exception is our Beef and Chicken recipe, which is not formulated for the growth of large breed puppies (70 lbs or more).
