Ever seen a refrigerator case in the pet food aisle of your grocery store? I have. I was quite surprised to see it there. The first time I saw it I thought maybe the sore was rearranging things and it was just people food temporarily being kept in a different place. But that wasn’t the case. The refrigerated case I saw contained pet food. Real honest to goodness pet food made by a company named Freshpet.
Freshpet brands include Freshpet® Select and Dog Joy® available in select grocery and mass-market stores; Vital® and Dog Nation® available in select pet specialty stores; and Nature’s Fresh™ available in select natural food stores. The company is committed to making fresh and real food for dogs and cats. Some might wonder where fresh pet food is made. Freshpet is made right here in the USA, in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. That’s not too far from me! Not only is is made in this region, the food is made from locally sourced ingredients. I think that’s neat!
If you watched the 2014 Olympics you may recall the USA skier Gus Kenworthy, who brought home a silver medal and some stray dogs from Sochi as well. The folks at Freshpet knew that Gus could use some help getting those dogs healthy so they stepped up and gave a hand. Actually a bowl would be better wording. Many bowls would be even better then that. Now, the folks at FReshpet want to make a difference in the lives of other dogs right here at home through their Fresh Start campaign. Check it out.
Freshpet, maker of fresh, refrigerated dog and cat food in Bethlehem, PA, offers a Fresh Start to three well-deserving pups rescued from Sochi, Russia. Gus Kenworthy, Olympic Slopestyle Skier, was so touched after witnessing the multitude of stray dogs in Sochi, he brought a mom and her pups home with him after his silver medal win. Freshpet was there to help, and is supplying Gus and his new family with unlimited Freshpet food and treats and Whistle Activity Monitors to keep track of them as they grow up healthy and strong. Pet parents can follow along at home every step of the way as Gus shares his dogs’ journeys to a happy, healthier life on freshpet.com.
“Mama and her pups were living off of scraps that people would bring as they lived on the streets,” said Gus Kenworthy. “It’s amazing to see how much their health has improved in just a few, short months. I really started to notice a difference when I switched them over to Freshpet. They are so excited to eat and have so much energy now. I can’t even get a snack out of the fridge for myself without them standing there in front of the fridge hoping for more!”
The Sochi pups are part of the new Freshpet Fresh Start program that encourages pet parents to incorporate more fresh, all natural food into their pets’ diets and see for themselves what the power of fresh can do. Freshpet believes feeding fresh can make all the difference at any age – shinier coats, increased energy, and improved digestion are just a few of the positive health changes one can expect.

What makes fresh food so different? All Freshpet recipes start with fresh, locally sourced meats and veggies.

I have never seen Freshpet a store before. I have seen it advertised on TV though and I hope we get it in stores here soon. Thanks for sharing.
My dog will eat nothing but, I bought some high dollar cans from Costco, our dog is having none of it!
I have not seen this in my stores yet, will be checking though. It seems so much fresher and healthier.
We love getting Freshpet for my dog. She especially enjoys the treats!! Sometimes I have a coupon for this brand which makes it even better.
I think I may have seen FreshPet in a store once. I know my dogs would have loved it. My current cat–not so certain-she does not like human food except ham, turkey and chicken and then only very small amounts. I would like to give it a try.
No, I have not seen it yet, but I will be on the lookout now.
Yes –in with doggie ice cream.
