Questions & Answers

5 Customer Questions


Can unused portions be re frozen?

Answer by ChewyJul 05, 2025
Chewy will ship the product frozen to keep it fresh. We recommend serving Freshpet food fresh from the fridge, but you can choose to freeze any unused portions for later use. Just thaw frozen portions in the fridge before serving. 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.

What is the percentage of carbs in a dry matter basis?

Answer by ChewyJul 09, 2023
The carbohydrates in this food are 3.4% as fed and 8.7% as dry matter.

What kind of fish is in the fish oil?

Answer by ChewyNov 04, 2025
Freshpet only uses Alaskan Pollock as white fish and Salmon from the US. Some of the oil comes from salmon as salmon is one of the fish highest in EPA and DHA.

Approximately how many servings in a 1 lb bag?

Answer by ChewySep 16, 2025
Each bag has approximately 3.5 cups.

My two boy cats will eat anything and are a couple of oinkers. I'm not sure if my little tortie doesn't like it, or she just wont... she makes me stand over her

My two boy cats will eat anything and are a couple of oinkers. I'm not sure if my little tortie doesn't like it, or she just wont... she makes me stand over her until she starts eating and is comfortable and sometimes that takes a while. Either way, i'm glad my boys eat it because they're the oldest and biggest. I'm glad i can give them quality food that's affordable. It's an easy way to give them wet food without having to open cans in the morning. This is cleaner and faster. It came shipped with dry ice, so not being frozen wasn't an issue for me. The packing it came shipped in is biodegradeable, so i liked that. You can literally run it under water and it disinegrates. I recommend giving it a shot.

They like fresh pet cat food but on the third or fourth feedings, they are kind of over it so, I give them something else and then re introduce and they’ll eat

They like fresh pet cat food but on the third or fourth feedings, they are kind of over it so, I give them something else and then re introduce and they’ll eat it, they like it okay but not love. I still would recommend it. I think it’s a good quality food. And pricing isn’t bad either.

Cats won't eat it

I really wish there was a sample size that we could try before having to invest so much money in something that isn't going to work at all. I'll be donating all

I really wish there was a sample size that we could try before having to invest so much money in something that isn't going to work at all. I'll be donating all of mine. I even tried to mix it with their regular food, but they won't touch it. On the other hand, they LOVE Smalls. I wish Chewy would sell Smalls.

My cat would not eat any of the normal cat foods, he'd try to bury those wet and dry types of cat food. I had to cook chicken for him to eat. However the chicken wasn't giving him his needed vitamins and nutrients, so his front legs were bowing, and he was lacking energy. Tried this Freshpet VITAL product and he eats it up and his health has improved vastly since he has been eating this food. I wish he would eat the other cat foods but will not touch them.

Fresh Food Trial

Ease of feeding, cats love it and had no issues with it. It would be nice to know if it can be warmed up in microwave to take some of the chill off.

Cat didn’t like

I was really hoping my cat would like this food. She sniffed it for a bit & turned her nose up at it.

Purrfect!

Definitely worth it to buy two cases of cat food, especially when you have for cats which include two new additions to the family! I've said this food to my cats

Definitely worth it to buy two cases of cat food, especially when you have for cats which include two new additions to the family! I've said this food to my cats before, so it is a brand that I trust and I was elated to find that I could purchase cases instead of just a couple of bags every few days or so. Will definitely be ordering again soon, especially since my local stores sometimes run out when I really need it.
