How is Freshpet® food "fresh"? Why is it called "fresh" dog food?
The majority of our ingredients are fresh and our products are cooked fresh daily and include locally sourced vegetables. Refrigeration is the key to freshness. Freshpet® products must be refrigerated since the meats and vegetables have only been gently cooked with no preservatives. The only preservative for Freshpet® food is refrigeration.
Are Freshpet® foods natural?
All Freshpet® foods use natural ingredients. What you will not find are fillers commonly found in other pet foods such as wheat, corn or wheat gluten.
Are Freshpet® foods organic?
No, Freshpet® foods are not organic. Few, if any, pet foods are all 100% organic, due to difficulty in locating organic ingredients as well as their costliness. At Freshpet®, our focus is on finding the highest quality, freshest, all natural ingredients.
Is Freshpet® food raw? Is there a risk for parasites or harmful bacteria?
Freshpet® food is fresh, NOT raw. It has been gently cooked and quickly cooled to eliminate any harmful bacteria or parasites. Our products undergo pasteurization similar to milk or cold cuts.
Do all Freshpet® ingredients come from the United States?
100% of our meats, vegetables, eggs and brown rice come from the US and Canada.
Where are Freshpet® foods made?
Freshpet® foods are made in our own factory in Quakertown, Pennsylvania. The Loved Dog™ Treats are manufactured at human food factories in Wisconsin, which Freshpet® has partnered with due to their high standards and understanding that pets deserve the same high quality products as people. |
