At Freshpet, we don’t play favorites with breeds. Big and small, purebred and mutts, we’re the kind of proud pet parents who fall in love with every dog we meet.   But even we’ll admit, there’s something so uniquely charming (and entertaining) about pugs that they’re just hard to resist. So when we first heard about Rudy the pug, who went on a hunger strike…

Update: We met our goal of 10,000 meals! Thank you for everyone who shared our video. We said for every video share we would donate one meal to a shelter pet in need, up to 10,000 meals. We’re now at 30,000 shares and counting! We didn’t anticipate all your Facebook and YouTube shares. So in the spirit of giving, we will triple our commitment and donate 30,000 meals….

We loved our Facebook Live Dog Adopt-a-thon so much, we said hey – let’s do it for cats! In honor of National Shelter and Rescue Appreciation Week, we’re teaming up with Happy Homes Rescue to host a Cat Adopt-a-thon with our friends at Nasdaq.   You’ll have the opportunity to see 20+ kittens live on Facebook during the hour and call in for a chance to adopt…

We recently invited our friend Jonathan of Bark & Co., to our Freshpet Kitchens for the first time to get an inside look at how we make our foods. Jonathan has been researching which dog food to choose for his new pug Noodle. And since he’s a proud new dog dad, we were extra excited to introduce him to our fresh and all natural foods.     At Freshpet, we’re…

When we first asked chef Troy at Utah Valley University’s culinary institute to take a stab at dressing up our food for dogs, we didn’t know what to expect. We knew we wanted to make dishes that would taste great, without modifying them too much- it was important that we preserved the integrity of our food. What chef Troy prepared exceeded all of our expectations. In each…

I remember vividly the first time I heard that employees at Freshpet have eaten our food. It was nearly three years ago, and I was freshly (pun intended) on the job. At the time, I couldn’t imagine ever eating the food; though I knew that Freshpet was different, I had a lot to learn about our food and about other dog foods. On that day,…

We learn lessons from our dogs every day. And at Freshpet, we think that any of those lessons are best applied at our company and beyond. We believe that if all companies approached their businesses like dogs would, with kindness, compassion, and a bit of fun, the world would be a better place for it. We’ve heard many times that businesses in America are ‘going…

We’re bringing back the age-old battle of Cats vs. Dogs. At Freshpet, we love them both, but we know many of you have a very firm stance on which pet you love most. So we’re asking you to help us settle the debate once and for all: which pet is best: cats or dogs?   Tell us below for a chance to win $2,000 toward…

We are really excited to introduce our latest innovation in fresh, all-natural food for pets: new Freshpet® Select Fresh from the Kitchen™, a ready to serve meal for your dog.   What makes Fresh from the Kitchen so different is that it’s the first of its kind to offer a unique texture of shredded chicken. Reminiscent of home cooking for your family, Fresh from the…

We have to admit that while many of us watch it for the sport, a lot of us are in it for the blockbuster commercials. This year’s Super Bowl had a handful of winners, but these were our favorite ads. Hint: They all feature furry friends!   Volkswagen: The Bark Side Star Wars fans and dog lovers unite! This rendition of the Star Wars theme song is…
