How will Freshpet ship to me? Freshpet will be shipped frozen on dry ice and in an insulated box. This ensures the food arrives cold to you home temperature-controlled packaging designed to keep your pet’s food fresh. If for any reason the food doesn't arrive cold please reach out to Chewy customer service.
Chewy will ship the product Frozen to you to keep it fresh. We recommend refrigerating Freshpet food upon arrival and for best results servicing Freshpet food fresh from the fridge. You can choose to freeze any unused portions for later use. Be aware that you may see a slight change in color and texture when thawed, but this won’t change the nutritional value or taste of the meals.
My dog developed a food intolerance to her previous canned wet dog food. I tried sensitive stomach formulas she either didn’t like them or they didn’t agree with her. She began to get weak from not eating as much. I tried this and she ate it all with no stomach issues. She is excited to eat again! My senior dog is back to playing and has so much more energy. She feels like herself again. My dog mom heart is so happy.
The bags are small so my two dogs went thru the bags pretty quick. No larger sizes available at this time thru Chewy. It came packed very well. It was frozen and took a few days to completely thaw out. My dogs ate it but didn't love it the way they did other FreshPet products found at the grocery store.
Not sure if a bad batch but, food is moldy smelling and a slimy feel (only way I can explain it). Bags have been refrigerated since deliver on 11-30. Bag 1 was ok but can not feed him any of the other bags. They have been thrown out... Won't purchase again, maybe it was from the shipping. Disappointed for sure
Realistically this bag feeds your dog for 2-3 days if you feed your pet in the morning and at night. Not worth it.
My dog loves it first try. I've had trouble finding something he really likes. He's been put on a seafood diet so will try that next
I like the product, but you have'nt been able to deliver it for my last two orders. Chewy needs to step up!
He walks away from it. And from our perspective it makes him gassy.
I have tried every kind of food there is out there and my little havanese will only eat this. I have it on a recurring order and get 6 weeks worth at a time. It comes frozen solid and the packaging is recyclable.
My dogs began itching so I switched to Fresh Pet. Within 3 days they are doing so much better. They have more energy and seem so happy.
Dog loves this new food, easy to pour and seals are great.
