Sometimes I could get the dog food of Freshpet that I wanted that my Pomeranian prefers to eat. And that is Freshpet® Homestyle Creations All Life Stage Dog Food - Fresh, Beef, Chicken & Turkey. It's never in stock at most of the branches of Pet Smart. It shows that there a few in stock. I order and they never seem to have this one only the Chicken and Turkey. I have get an expensive topper to add to coerce my 20 lb pomeranian to eat. I may as well be cooking for him special like I was. But it's the time. Now I spend all my time trying to find a place that will carry what I need. It says it's in stock but by the time ordered there are none. Usually only 1 if lucky and can never order more than 3 which is what I did and it's never in stock and they tell me they have none.

We’ve noticed a shinier coat, more energy and overall happiness since starting our dogs on Freshpet! They love it! The price is just right to meet financial needs and still be able to give our dogs a healthy diet. I would recommend, and gave, Freshpet to other dog lovers! You’ll be glad you have this a try.

Did not provide any assistance in finding product locally. They only offered help finding the specialty items. I wanted to find the small breed recipe. Certain stores carry the other recipes but not all of them. Customers should be able to find specific recipes not just zip code guessing.

We have had Poppy, our 8 year old dog for about a year. We rescued her and did not know any history of what she was fed. We tried her on a number of different wet and dry combinations, but she was a very picky eater. We finally tried her on Fresh Pet, and she loves it! Her stools are now firm and not runny. We are happy with her progress and will keep her on Freshpet.

Awesome product because my boy is older and very picky. He loves this food. You guys are great. I like the sensitive stomach options.

I have been buying Freshpet for my pets for many years now. There are a few that are different that my kids just can’t get warmed up to so I have to go all the way to the lower mainland to find that type which is usually chicken and then the beef and then the chicken and turkey. They don’t really care so much for the spinach and potato but I think if I said it out there and left it long enough, they would finally eat it.

My second female 4 year old Keeshond rescue is not fussy at all and she too enjoys the food from Freshpet.

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...

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 fed her breakfast and she threw it up a few hours later. Next day wouldn't eat and continued to puke. When she couldn't hold water we rushed her to the ER vet and she was jaundiced with elevated liver enzymes. They didn't know what caused it. Sent us home with meds and an iv and told us to come back if she couldn't hold down water. She was drinking water but not eating. She died in my arms a few days later. Her symptoms were that of dogs that fell ill and died after eating freshpet in Australia back in July 2021. Liver failure. Her symptoms are similar to salmonella poisoning which freshpet has recalled for before. I have never experienced sadness like this and I'm concerned freshpet is responsible. I'm switching my dogs' food immediately.
Kelsey -- we are extremely sorry for your loss. We shared your details with our vet team last night, and they told us they left a voicemail for you and are hoping to hear back from you once you're ready. We take the safety of our food and reports like this very seriously, and the veterinarian assigned to your case will investigate the issue with your own vet to determine the cause of this tragedy. In our history we have never had a case where a pet death was linked to our food, but we will never rule out that chance until the vets have completed their investigation.
In the meantime, we'd like to assure you and all other pet parents that our Quality Assurance team has not reported any issues with the food we have in market. We have never sold our food in Australia so we are unfamiliar with the case you reference, but we did have a targeted recall of one of our small dog bags in June of 2021. The majority of the product was stopped at retailer distribution warehouses and not delivered to store shelves.
In any case, we are committed to helping you gain as much closure as we can, and making absolutely sure that our food is safe for all pets.-The Freshpet Care Team

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.
Also about four times when opening a package it's been under some pressure and liquid has come squirting out all over. I now know to cover each tube with a paper towel so I don't have to disinfect the entire kitchen. This last tube that's just full of a lot of white slime, I'm going to see if I can't report it to public health and have it analyzed. Also a Google search of this I found reviews on Amazon where quite a few people had had the same experience. I'm afraid to feed it to my dog. But my dog has been on this food successfully for a long time now and I am happy with it otherwise. The problem is I opened an different tube just now and there was almost no white mucus, but there WAS just a tiny bit. So what am I supposed to do? I care a great deal about my dog, she's wonderful, and now I have to be afraid to feed her this food?
While the roll does not pose a health or safety concern to your pet, we do not recommend feeding it, as it does not provide the best mealtime experience for you or your pup.
Our foods are not raw. Freshpet recipes are processed at temperatures to destroy Salmonella and other pathogens. They are cooked and chilled per USDA standards.

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.

Not just once but every new batch we got. No wonder our dog hated it. We feel bad we ever tried to get her to eat it.
We now make our own food for her that we KNOW is fresh and made with organic people grade food. It's not that hard and makes us feel so good because she loves it so much! First time she's EVER eaten the whole bowl at one time and is looking for more. She's so excited to eat now we can't believe it. We found the recipe on Google and we feel so good about what she's eating now. Actual organic people food so good we could eat it ourselves. Also, a LOT cheaper than any of the so called fresh dog food out there and we know it's fresh and organic. We make up a big batch and freeze it in daily sized feedings in ziplock baggies.

Freshpet is similar to homemade pet food. My rescue Shih Tzu enjoys it immensely. Tfhe first ingredient is the meat and all the grains appear fresh. My only complaint is that I can't find it just anywhere. It has to be refrigerated.

Been feeding Freshpet since my groomer recommended it a couple months ago but stopped this week. Dunce my dog had developed diarrhea twice while on the food. Made an appointment with the vet. And in the 48 hours before the appointment my dog's health went south. He became lethargic, drinking extreme amounts of water and shaking. The vet diagnosed pancreatitis, gave him meds, and IVs and we need to go back tomorrow for more of the same. He isn't severe enough to be hospitalized. I just stopped feeding the freshpet this week because I suspect it in the recurrent diarrhea. A cause of pancreatitis is high fat diet. Freshpet almost killed my dog in just 2 months. And cost my wallet significantly.

I bought this to mix with kibble to give them a little healthy boost, just a few tablespoons not even a full serving. Next day they both have almost liquid diarrhea, with mucus and one is vomiting. Nothing else has changed and it has gone on all day. I have stopped the food and will be taking them to the vet if nothing changes tomorrow.

I had been giving my shorkie Fresh Pet for several months. I noticed he started vomiting and having diarrhea. He also wouldn’t touch his food sometimes. This is the only food I had been giving him because he liked it at first and was very picky. I took him to vet and they couldn’t find anything wrong but told me to keep an eye on him. That’s when I started paying attention to his food and decided to switch it because he wouldn’t touch it anymore. The vomiting and diarrhea stopped immediately. So I waited for a while and decided to try the fresh pet again. He vomited 30 mins after I had given it to him. So I don’t know if the formula or protein is too high for certain dogs. Or if the food was molded. I see it was recalled a few weeks ago but should have been recalled months before.
I came here to do a review because fresh pet is filtering or blocking the bad reviews on their site. It will say your review has been submitted but when I look for my review on their site I can’t find it. Their site only has 3 and 4 stars from customers. I’m grateful that I caught it in time before my dog developed serious stomach issues. I had to give him probiotics to get his stomach back on track. I will never buy anything from this company again. Especially since I tried to review them twice and I can’t find it. This tells me they have no integrity and don’t care about me or my pet. I also notice a few months back you couldn’t find the food online or in the store. Now their bags have been given a fresh look. I think they already knew something was wrong with this food. And I lost money on the food I threw away.

While I cannot say definitively that this food was the cause, our previously healthy two year old toy dog ate this food and threw up a few hours later. She continued to throw up and couldn't even keep water down. We had never fed her Freshpet before. We took her to the vet who said she had a bout of pancreatitis. That was the first and last time we buy Fresh Pet. Again, while I cannot personally confirm the veracity of mold being an issue with this food, I've seen many discussions regarding mold problems associated with Fresh Pet.

I have been purchasing FreshPet for our 4 year old dog and when we first began he had lost interest in eating his regular dry food so I had always wanted to try this and it came to our nearby grocery store so I did, I purchased the tender chicken roll and he loved it and would eat his food right away when we fed him. The grocery store ran out of the roll so I purchased the bag and noticed afterwards that he had no interest in eating his food which we would mix with his dry food. He threw up a couple of times and was listless.
Figuring that it was the FreshPet, we threw out the bag of food and then bought the rolls which he was fine with and now the same thing has happened, we bought the bag of tender chicken because our grocery store had run out of the usual rolls that we buy and he has eaten it for a few days and then one day he stopped eating. He would go to his food bowl and smell it and turn away. He threw up a couple of times and is not very energetic. I told my son to pick out the FreshPet out of his food bowl and see if he'll eat and as soon as my son put the bowl down, our dog ate after not having any food all day.
This morning we fed him without the FreshPet and sure enough he ate. The expiration date is in July of 2021 in case you're wondering. When I bought this bag the grocery store only had the large bags which were $19.99 and now I have to throw it out with half the bag full. If you are going to make dog food, please, please be sure to put only the best fresh ingredients.

My Shih tzu would not eat after his best friend (my poodle) passed away, they had been together for over 10 years every day. Heartbreaking for everyone. I went through all types of different food but he was just so depressed he would not eat. He drank water and ate his favorite snack but that was it, and certainly not enough to sustain him.

As of today I'm extremely upset with this company due to the following inactions of their customer service. My dogs have been eating this since they came out with Fresh from the Kitchen [which no longer has any cranberries in the bag. That's the only brand I give them. When I could no longer find this anywhere, Target, Walmart, Shoprite, Amazon, I switched to Multi Protein bags.. Now I cannot find that anywhere and I've called Customer Service numerous times to no avail. Today I phoned Secaucus where they are based and I received no apology, no plausible reason for their refrigerators to be empty for the last 6 weeks.
In truth Genaveve who I spoke with actually lied to me by saying she was in Walmart when it was delivered. So my response was if it was delivered why have the managers looked in the back storage looking for food, to find none.... When I told her that I was at Walmart the day she claimed she was there and she's lying to me.... So in essence, I've accomplished nothing in trying to get answers as to when are you delivering, but they are no longer nice people to deal with and I don't know what to feed my dogs.
Hello Dale, we thank you for reaching out with your concerns. As we previously communicated, we are sorry that you have not been able to easily locate our food in stores. Freshpet is experiencing greater out-of-stocks than normal because the rate of our growth has accelerated to a level beyond our installed manufacturing capacity. Additionally, the holidays and several winter storms in the Northeast and Midwest impacted commercial delivery schedules by several weeks.
The good news is that we have recently finished construction of our second Kitchen, right next to our original Kitchen in Bethlehem, PA. The construction of that Kitchen was delayed by about a month due to shelter-in-place orders last year, which impacted our ability to produce the amount of food to meet the increased demand. Now that we have begun crafting food at our new Kitchen, we are working around the clock to make more food.
While we wish we could give you an exact date for when you can expect to see food in your local chillers, availability will vary by recipe, regional area and retailer. This is certainly not an overnight solution, but you will notice a gradual improvement in inventory levels every week as we approach the Spring.
We understand how frustrating this has been for our pet parents and hope you know that we are committed to resolving our inventory challenges asap. We truly appreciate your patience and your loyalty to Freshpet! Stay well. Angela from the Freshpet Consumer Care Team

I would cave in and give her a few treats because I felt so bad when her little stomach would growl or she'd heave up bile. I recently decided to try FreshPet Vital in hopes of getting her back on track. This is the first time in 5½ years that I haven't had to fight with, bribe, or trick my dog into eating her food.

I bought the FreshPet chicken for my dog. He loved it but after a month of eating it he became very ill. US$2000 later he is still recovering. He was vomiting every 10 minutes and I had to rush him to the ER three times and twice in one day. On the way to the ER he vomited in the car and was very sick. He weighed 7 pounds and after vomiting so much he went down to 5 pounds. They had to treat him on meds and fluids in order to help him recover. This happened in August 2020 and today (Dec 19, 2020) he is on less medication but nonetheless, my dog was in perfect health before. Now he is taking meds every day.

My American Bulldog was about 15 lbs overweight and the vet recommended changing her food to a healthier fresh menu instead of the dry kibble she had been eating, although it was a high-end brand she loved. I slowly switched her over to FreshPet simply because the ingredients looked good and it was a lot more affordable than other fresh pet food delivery options online and it was readily available in my local grocery store.
Shiloh already lost 3.5 lbs in the first 2 weeks and she LICKS HER BOWL clean every meal! She knows what I'm reaching for at feeding time when I open the fridge door and gets so excited about her meals now where before she was sort of apathetic. She's always been a healthy eater but it was more just filling the hunger and getting a job done...now she shows pure happiness when her bowl comes out of the microwave. Lol. (Yes, I warm it up for her.) I asked my vet about the ingredients list and she approved, especially after Shiloh dropped a few pounds. Only 11-12 lbs to go and I'm sure we can get her to a healthy weight on this new diet.

I have 2 small dogs, a cavalier from a puppy mill with complicated digestive issues and also a high energy, under weight, picky eating Pekingese. I have seen the Fresh Pet commercials and have always thought, "here we go again, another dog food with a lot of promises with mediocre results." My past experience with dog food products and promises has been either the dog is disinterested in the dog food or they like it but do not tolerate the product. HOWEVER, FRESH PET lived up to their word. On a whim, I told my husband to pick up FRESH PET at the store. Fortunately, it was in stock. My dogs were IMMEDIATELY interested. They actually ate it on their own.
Typically, I have to hand feed both dogs. This is a time consuming endeavor. I then held my breath, hoping they would tolerate the food. Not only did they tolerate the food, Rudy my Cavalier, had great output-which is not the norm. Both dogs have tolerated the food with ZERO transition from their last dog food. The next hurdle was the dogs' continued interest in the food. GUESS WHAT? They love it as much today as the first day they put their noses into a bowl of FRESH PET.
I cannot tell you what a positive difference this has made not only in the health and nutrition of my dogs, but in the pet parent experience for me. Meal time is no longer a chore, but a pleasure. Whenever I get the bag of fresh pet out of the fridge, both dogs get excited. The food actually smells delicious. Everyone knows the way to the heart and stomach of a dog is through their nose and this stuff does the trick. My dogs have let me know that FRESH PET is the food for them-eating speaks louder than words. My dogs are eating with enthusiasm at every meal. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU FRESH PET! THIS IS A GAME CHANGER. Please keep making this quality product using this dog friendly formula. It is amazing! Elizabeth ** RN

This was a fast response. Thank you for the coupons. This will help so much. Now I can feed him what he likes, never had a dog get so picky on his food. He really loves the Chicken pattie and Beef patties. I break them up as treats.
We appreciate you reaching out, Jay. It is nice to hear that your picky fur baby does enjoy our food. We wish you all the best and stay well. Angela from the Freshpet Consumer Care Team.

I’m hoping you truly send out the coupons cause my puppy is liking this but the bags are so small and it’s expensive. So anything to help out will be greatly appreciated. I have a friend who dog doing the same so hopefully If my pup stays liking this she will try it on her dog.

My old girl, Tori loves her new food I started buying for her! So easy to eat when you are losing your teeth. We like the bigger packages that are like little nuggets, easy to serve and enjoy she said. She also likes the treats.. Well I think she likes the treats best!!

I'm on a limited budget and I save the life of one of my many feral cats. He is very friendly so I brought him into the house but he has intestinal issues. I've tried many brands with no luck. I picked up Fresh Pet Chicken & he loves it and no more diarrhea. I asked about money saving coupons & within 12 hours had a response & coupons are going to be mailed to me!!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
Patricia, thank you for your kind words. We certainly wish you and your fur babies all the best, and we are very happy to hear that our food is working out for them. Stay well. Kind Regards, Angela from the Freshpet Consumer Care Team

I love this products. It has helped my dogs' health so much. We have 5 dogs and most were rescues with numerous issues. After a few months on Freshpet rolls we haven't had to go to the vet once. I highly recommend this dog food!

Dog loves! Had a picky eater who never turned it away and a very old dog that had teeth issues. Worked for both. A bit expensive but worth the cost when you can see exactly what they are eating instead of reading a label.

Please acknowledge ALL points in someone's note to you. I could not recall, but luckily saved a copy. "My vet is trying to help me determine what my dog can eat, and suggested getting a cooked dog food with a novel, single-source protein...AND that the food SHOULD includes grains." Unfortunately, out of all of your dog-centric brands, I only see the bison as a protein/cooked dog food fitting the above criteria EXCEPT for the beef!! What can you recommend that I do? Also, please make it easier for pet parents with such difficulties to be able to avoid having to look at ingredients of a ton of your products by naming at least 1 of them more accurately: The Chunky Beef also has Chicken and should indicate both on the label. Thank you!
P.S. My dog is extremely picky: He needs vegetables and I guess fruit too, but will try spitting out or circumventing anything that doesn't smell like meat. Therefore I'm asking that the APPEARANCE of the food rolls to be akin to just meat.

I don't usually give reviews but I felt compelled to on this product "Freshpet". I have tried for over a year, trying to find a dog food that my Cocker Spaniel would eat. Forget any dry food. You name it, I tried it. Since finding Freshpet, my dog finally is getting the nutrition he needs, and I add, simply. He also shows more fitness and his eye tears have become way less. All I can say is finally....Thank you Freshpet with coming up with a novel idea.
Hello Charles! It is truly rewarding when our pet parents feel so strongly about our brands. Praise such as yours is most welcome and greatly appreciated. We highly value your patronage and hope your furbaby continues to enjoy Freshpet. Have a wonderful day! Genevieve-Consumer Care Team
