Questions & Answers

9 Customer Questions


Can you refreeze the remaining unopened bags once the shipment arrives at my house
Answer by ChewySep 19, 2022
Freshpet recommends serving this food fresh from the fridge for the best results, but 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. No Freshpet food is frozen before being purchased at your local store.

on the chart for daily amount according to weight, is the amount per meal or should it be cut in half for both breakfast and dinner?
Answer by ChewyMar 21, 2023
The feeding guidelines refer to the amount of cups to feed per day based on your dog's weight. This can be fed as one meal or divided into two meals based on your dog's preference.

Where (what countries) are the ingredients sourced from?
Answer by ChewyNov 05, 2022
Freshpet believe in building long-term supplier partnerships to source healthy and sustainable ingredients with many being locally sourced to Freshpet Kitchens. 96% of Freshpet ingredients are from North America. The other 4% are non-domestic, such as Europe, and are also non-Chinese origin.

before opening food how long can you keep stored in fridge ?
Answer by ChewyAug 10, 2023
A sell-by date is stamped on the package. You can keep the unopened recipe in the fridge until that date.

It smells like it’s full of spices

Our 11 year-old Chihuahua wanted nothing to do with this. I kind of figured that out before I gave it to her because it smells very much like it’s full of tons of different spices. Quite over-the-top for a dog. I sprinkle a tiny bit on top of my American bulldog food because I now have like six bags I need to get rid of. Our American bulldog is kind of like, meh, but she eats it if I put water or chicken broth over all of her dry food with that.

Freshpet is the best!

I’ve tried many frozen and fresh dog foods and found Freshpet to be the most economical and convenient. My two dogs are both under 20 pounds so the small breed is perfect for them. Wish the other varieties came in the small breed formula. My two devour this food and it doesn’t smell awful like the others!

Great fresh alternative

I moved to Freshpet from Farmer's Dog a year ago. It's great food, my dogs love it and it's easier for them to eat than FD because it's not so sloppy wet. Also had delivery issues with FD. I started purchasing this brand from my local grocer but it was not available in this small bread nugget form. I was thrilled to find it here at Chewy and it's basically the same cost as the rolls I was purchasing. And THANK YOU Chewy for not shipping in styrofoam!

Great quality product even in bulk

I ordered the bulk size of this product to cut down costs in the long run. It’s the only thing my dog will eat as soon as I give it to him, other dog food he’s not interested in, It’s last for a good while and the quality of the product is same as if I bought it individually from the pet store. I’ve had no issues getting it delivered.

finally a food my dog eats!

My dog has been on a prescription hydrolyzed protein kibble for a sensitive stomach and we’ve been trying to transition to other food since she hates it. We tried 2 other whole food/ limited ingredient dog food and she wouldn’t touch it either. We tried freshpet and she ate everything! In the 5 years of owning her she’s never been food motivated and we’ve had to convince her to eat. We don’t have to do that anymore. Highly recommend!

My dachshund loves his food!

My senior dachshund loves his Freshpet Vital Fresh dog food. He grew weary of his dry kibble, so I tried this fresh food, & I'm so pleased to see him enjoy his food again!

Tracy loves Freshpet

Tracy has diabetes and it is very important that she eat before getting insulin. since feeding her Freshpet it has been so much easier, she loves the food and eats it all so we don't have to worry about adjusting insulin doses.
