Freshpet

I’ve purchase this product for about 1 year. The last four bags I bought turned gray in the first couple of days. Also had a very foul sour smell. Sometimes I heat a little in my microwave to take the chill off. While in microwave the dog food started shootings sparks. Something is definitely not right!!

I have been buying Vital dog food for my 2 dogs. They claim it's organic and healthy. It came frozen when I defrosted the dog food. The food caught on fire. Started sparking. I had it tested and found Aluminum in the dog food. This is illegal and toxic and my dog has been very sick.

I have been feeding my dog Freshpet chicken dog food for approximately six months. I have had a repeated 15 minutes situation where the food spoils within 24 hours of the bag being opened. Our latest experience is that this food has made our dog very very sick. I suggest know when use this product. We will never use it again.

I'm only writing this review because the commercial made a serious illness, into "just old age". My 11-year-old cat started not eating as much (he looooved healthy cat food) and the commercial made it seem like that was just a normal thing... I had brought my cat to the vet twice over 2 months with concerns of weight loss. I spent 2 months buying every kind of food under the sun and Freshpet was one he ate for maybe a week, then stopped. I thought it was just old age like the commercial said, but he still kept losing weight... 3rd trip to the vet $$$ we finally discovered it was hyperthyroidism and stage 2 kidney disease. There should be a warning on Freshpet's misleading commercials that anorexia in pets is "NOT" just cause they're getting old, but should be seen by a vet first... Heartbreaking that I'm not an expert on animals. :( Such a sad ending for my favorite little buddy.

I have been feeding my dogs Freshpet dog food for years never had a problem till recently. My dogs got very sick after eating their beef, chicken and Turkey and chicken recipes. I reported the problem but Freshpet couldn’t care less and never open an investigation or anything. I will never feed my dogs that garbage again because they can careless unless threatened with a lawsuit or reporting the to FDA. In the meantime I am out of $100.00 worth of food and hundreds if not a thousand in Vet bills. I have having some of there food inspected by professionals of it comes back tainted I am not only going to sue them but I am reporting them to the health department and other government agencies. It is unacceptable that they allow these stores to deliberately sell bad dog food that can actually cause death in some dogs.. Absolutely unacceptable!!!

We have been feeding our dogs Freshpet for years. Lately I had been questioning the freshness as I've gotten slimy rolls and mushy rolls and my dogs have been sick randomly when I open new logs. I've returned some thinking it was a refrigeration issue but after reading all these bad reviews I'm concerned it's what killed my dog yesterday. I had a 7 yr old extremely healthy pekingese mix.

I have for several years gotten the six pound tubes of all the different types, beef, chicken, etc. Each time I bring the product straight home and refrigerate it. Three times now, including today, I've gotten tubes that upon opening are full of a thick white mucus like slime. This concerns me greatly as it appears very similar to the white slime you will see on uncooked chicken left too long in the refrigerator that is Salmonella. The first two times the company advised me instantly without hesitation to throw the product away and they sent me coupons for new product. So they know they have a problem but they refused to tell me what the white slime is composed of. They said if the package leaks and air gets in this will happen.

We are new to Freshpet and have purchased several rolls of the chicken and the beef recipe for our Shephard. She was enjoying the product, but we noticed this week for a few days she was lethargic, off her food and vomiting. No runny stools. But, definitely looking unwell. She has been on homecooked food for several years, but we thought with the price of meat that we would try your product. I have decided not to purchase in the future because the last beef roll (6#) was slimy. Only on the outside of the roll, but it was very concerning. I noticed other posts with the same concern and Freshpet's response was they would be contacting the customer. Freshpet's voicebox for customer service was full. I will be cooking her meals at home again.

After feeding my Shih Tzu Fresh Pet Select (roll) for 12 years now, I am highly suspicious that the last few purchases in the Phoenix area have cause my dog horrible health issues. Suddenly, he hates the taste and has been lethargic and lost all energy. Maybe it is just a coincidence, but as soon as I took him off the Fresh Pet, he started to behave much better and regained his strength. I wonder if the recipe has been changed or the shipment may not have been kept properly refrigerated. Anyone else notice this?

We have been purchasing the Freshpet select beef flavor "dog logs" for a while now as an additive to my dog's regular kibble. Usually the food is fine, and at first they seemed to really like it. However occasionally, as was the most recent purchase, the tubes have a mucus like slime all over the food, and all inside the package. You can literally squeeze it out. There is probably a 1/4 cup of slime in total. I don't want to feed this to my dog. I did feed them some once thinking it was a food additive or preservative, and my dog acted like he wasn't feeling well, and threw up the next morning. I wish I had trusted my gut and just threw it away. You cant tell if it's going to be a slimy one at the store until you get home and cut the tube open. This is such a waste, as these are a bit pricey, and have raised in price along with everything else at the store. I will not be purchasing these anymore, and wanted to warn others not to waste their money.
