Does your cat food contain carrageenan?

Answer by MistyJan 14, 2026
It does show carrageenan in the ingredients list.

Is it possible to purchase one tube only to see if my cats will eat and enjoy before making a full order?

My 15 year old senior cat had severe watery diarrhea on all foods, including sensitive stomach Hills science diet hard food. I changed to fresh pet vital beef and chicken roll grain free and he has never had another diarrhea since the first meal. I rescue animals and have had any problem you can imagine. Harley was having diarrhea in his bed, on the floor, on his fur with complete incontinence. Not one more problem since using this for a cat.

I knew that Chewy would be sending this as frozen, because that was stated in the description. What I didn't count on was the change in texture after it defrosted. The pate' was so soggy that my cats wouldn't eat it. If your cats like Freshpet, get it from the store.

I understand it has to be frozen due to stocking and keeping it fresh. But when you freeze Pet Fresh it changes the consistency of the food making it crumbly/mushy. Once you defrost it, it draws all the water out of the food. Will never buy Fresh Pet from Chewy again. Ill have to suck it up and go to the store.

Freshpet is a brand I trust and typically buy, so I was very excited to find it on Chewy. I'm not sure I will reorder because it comes in a huge container that takes up lot's of space in the garbage and the product doesn't appear to take well to freezing. Once it defrost, it's pretty water logged. I may try one more order, to see if this was a one off experience. Bummer.

Loved but concerning ingredients

Some of the ingredients I was told are linked to cancer. I will not be reordering this item. Sad because he liked it.

Inaccurate scheduling

I just purchased this product 3 weeks ago and canceled the next shipment. Why was this shipped? And WHY was it DOUBLE my previous purchase?

Picky eater didn’t like it

So far I’ve tried to mix his old food (3-1) with the new and he won’t touch it. The other cat seems to love it as long as I don’t give her too much. I don’t know

So far I’ve tried to mix his old food (3-1) with the new and he won’t touch it. The other cat seems to love it as long as I don’t give her too much. I don’t know that a whole roll will last long enough for her to finish it. Hoping this helps her physical health. More information to follow
