small but mighty
Specially formulated recipes made to support a small dog’s specific needs.
tailored nutrition for small dogs
Small dogs (20 lbs and under) have unique nutritional needs, and Freshpet has a special product line formulated by vets to offer the best nutritional profile for small breed dogs.
nutrient density
Small breed dogs typically have a faster metabolism compared to larger breeds. Freshpet’s calorically dense fresh food recipes are perfect for their high energy needs.
quality ingredients
Small breed dogs may benefit from a higher protein content in their diet to support their higher metabolic rate, muscle mass, and overall energy requirements. Real meat is the 1st ingredient in all Freshpet small dog recipes.
smaller pieces
Small breed dogs may prefer and benefit from smaller pieces of food that are easier for them to chew and swallow, so Freshpet’s line of small dog meals are bite-sized for little mouths.

“
Fresh food is a better option for pets because the recipes are packed with antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals, naturally found in the high quality ingredients; not sprayed or added to animal by-products.

2 thumbs WAY up!!
My 13 year old Bichon Archie had some teeth removed, and I could tell that the hard kibble he used to eat was hurting him. I decided to try the Freshpet Small Dog Chicken recipe and he just loved it...Us dog owners don't mind spending more if their furry friend benefit....It's going to be Freshpet going forward!

The ONLY dog food my little guy will eat!
We have had our little rescue pup for almost 2 years and we struggled to find a dog food that he would eat consistently. Then we tried the "small dog" version of FreshPet Select and he is asking for his dinner every night! Thank you!

Peanut my ChiChi
Peanut is allergic to grain and as a small dog I worries about her getting the best food possible to ensure her energy levels stay high and she has a happy long life. Freshpet for small dogs grain free is doing just that! She won't eat anything else!

awesome food
I have a 4 year old 1.5lbs micro teacup chihuahua. She has many digestive issues and allergies This food really helps her out since it's fresh and all natural. I will never go back to canned food ever. This solved all her issues.

My dog is eating like when he was a puppy!
Our Westie, Rocky, is 15 and isn’t very interested in eating his normal food. So we tried Freshpet and we are so happy we did. He now loves to eat and it makes him so happy. Thank you for making our Senior boy excited to eat again.

Specially formulated recipes made to support a growing dog’s specific needs.
your growing puppy deserves the best start
As pet parents, we want to set our puppies up for success in life – and proper nutrition is key for starting your pup on the right paw! Puppies require higher calories and protein to fuel their busy lives and DHA and EPA fatty acids for optimal brain development and immune function. Luckily, Freshpet has your puppy covered.
slow-cooked to seal in flavor & nutrients
At Freshpet, we are committed to creating recipes that are as nutritious as they are enjoyable. We believe that how foods are cooked is just as important as the ingredients used. This is why we never use heavy processing practices or meat meals for our recipes. Instead, we gently steam real chicken, beef, and turkey to ensure the nutritional integrity from start to finish.
formulated to help your puppy flourish
Newborn puppies get all the DHA and vitamins they need from their mother’s milk, but once they are fully weaned, they must meet their nutritional requirements through their food — this is why feeding your dog a complete and balanced pet food like Freshpet is so important!
recipes to suit every puppy
Freshpet has two expertly crafted recipes just for puppies, and our Vital and Small Dog lines are also formulated with added DHA and EPA to nourish your dog through puppyhood and beyond.

Lola and Max love Freshpet
We have a picky 7 year old Yorkshire Terrier and a nine month old Yorkie puppy so we need to please two palates. Your food does the trick! We have tried chicken and beef versions for small dogs and the slicing varieties of chicken and steak. I love that the veggies are visible and our dogs eat them. My vet wanted them to eat more than just protein and this food works!

Great Puppy Food
I have a 6 month old Morkie who I started on Blue Buffalo Puppy wet and dry food. For awhile he would eat both but then stopped. He was having loose poop thought it was teething but after changing to this food no more loose stools and he eats every bit. I’m on my 2nd tube of it and he loves it as much as he did before. Thank you Freshpet Puppy.

Great food for my puppy
I found puppy Freshpet a month ago and I’m so glad I did. If you have a spaniel then you know they are prone to rear end gland issues. Since my puppy started Freshpet puppy those problems are completely gone. I am so thankful for your quality product, Freshpet.
