Questions & Answers

12 Customer Questions


on the chart for daily amount according to weight, is the amount per meal or should it be cut in half for both breakfast and dinner?

Answer by ChewyMar 21, 2023
The feeding guidelines refer to the amount of cups to feed per day based on your dog's weight. This can be fed as one meal or divided into two meals based on your dog's preference.

Where (what countries) are the ingredients sourced from?

Answer by ChewyNov 05, 2022
Freshpet believe in building long-term supplier partnerships to source healthy and sustainable ingredients with many being locally sourced to Freshpet Kitchens. 96% of Freshpet ingredients are from North America. The other 4% are non-domestic, such as Europe, and are also non-Chinese origin.

How long will an opened bag stay fresh in the refrigerator?

Answer by ChewyApr 23, 2025
Chewy will ship the product frozen to keep it fresh. We recommend serving Freshpet food fresh from the fridge by the sell by date, but you can choose to freeze any unused portions for later use. Just thaw frozen portions in the fridge before serving. Be aware that you may see a slight change in color and texture when thawed, but this won’t change the nutritional value or taste of the meals.

Is for puppies

Answer by ChewyApr 24, 2023

Minnie and Hercules are senior Chihuahua Babies. Minnie had gotten really picky about her food, then she had a run in with a Bully. It was an accident, but it tore both her ACL’s and knocked a vertebrae out of her neck. I could not afford the surgery and the vet, she would probably heal, just to baby her, as if she isn’t spoiled already. The shedding that Hercules does has calmed down tremendously. So, we are all happy campers now.

I gave my two Yorkies Fresh Pet Chicken flavor while transitioning them from puppy kibble to adult food. They both seem to like it and have never turned it down. It is easy to prepare and always fresh. I buy it in bulk and use auto ship. It is delivered quickly and packed in dry ice. I freeze what I don't need and it will thaw in the fridge overnight when I do need it. Fixing meals for the dogs is a breeze now. The little bites are great for training rewards too.

I have a 12 yr old and a 15 yr old yorkies. They have had several teeth pulled over the years and it’s getting harder for them to eat hard kibble. We started to soften the kibble but they have become less interested in eating it. We decided to try something from fresh pet and they love it. They know when their feeding times are through out the day and they get so excited for their new food. Best decision we’ve made for their health.

We have been using the vital grain free chicken on our dog for a few years and the quality control is horrible and was getting noticeably worse over time. Yes our older dog loved it. Yes she did see the benefits of more energy, loved eating it, less allergy flair ups. BUT...the quality control at Fresh Pet leaves a lot to be desired. We'd mostly buy this at local pet store chains and we always checked the dates to make sure they were fresh. We started to notice some of the meat pellets were grey rather than pink, so we'd avoid those bags. Then we started to find some bags with pink pellets but the pellets would clump together and when broken apart would be connected by fuzzy mold. We returned and/or tossed a few dozen bags of the grey, moldy food over the years. A few months ago our dog became gravely ill and stopped eating all together. We checked the food bag and it showed some mold and smelled a little off. Our dog would no longer touch this stuff and after a couple weeks of rest and over $1000 in vet bills for an infection our dog is better but we refuse to feed her this poison now. It was mostly a great food but the quality control or product breakdown during its transport to the stores has made it too risky and dangerous for us to feed it to our dogs. BEWARE!!

Feel Good Food

I am dogsitting for a month and this dog is so anxious he will barely eat. Not to mention, I noticed his teeth are terrible and the food he was sent with is hard

I am dogsitting for a month and this dog is so anxious he will barely eat. Not to mention, I noticed his teeth are terrible and the food he was sent with is hard. It must hurt his teeth just to chew it because he barely eats it and whines a little when he does. His owner told me that he was not eating as much at home before we took him, I think I know why! And since his owner is out of reach for the time being I wanted to find food that would be OK for him to switch to and settled on this kind. But I was not settling at all! He loves it and I am glad to announce that he is able to actually eat it without any cries or whining. I am buying a lot so that when his owner is back she can continue to have some to feed him until she can purchase some on her own. I say it is a feel good food because I feel good about the ingredients and knowing that he is eating well while in my care.

Yummy add on

My 2 chihuahuas love this stuff! I add it to their dry food to entice their appetite. As soon as they hear the bag they come running. Both have sensitive stomachs

My 2 chihuahuas love this stuff! I add it to their dry food to entice their appetite. As soon as they hear the bag they come running. Both have sensitive stomachs and this doesn’t bother them. One is 1 year old and eats anything, my other is 5 years old and is super picky but he gobbles this down! Would definitely recommend.

After years of throwing out bowl After bowl because my finicky chihuahua decided he didn't want to eat, we discovered a food he loves that is good for him. I wish Chewy would deliver this to Florida Until that time I drive to the grocery store because it is worth seeing my dog clean his bowl every night

Miracle food

My little Chihuahua is 7 yrs.old. I've tried many higher end brands for sensitive tummies. My Chihuahua has suffered sensitive issues for 7 yrs. He gets very sick..

My little Chihuahua is 7 yrs.old. I've tried many higher end brands for sensitive tummies. My Chihuahua has suffered sensitive issues for 7 yrs. He gets very sick... diarrhea and vomiting . I heard about Freshpet for sensitive tummies. I bought grain free for small breed dogs. WOW ... my little dog came back to life again. He loves it so much ! He has been eating it once in the morning and then once at supper time. He is full of energy. He wants to play all the time. He acts like a puppy again. I'm so happy to have found Freshpet grain free dog food. This has been a miracle to my whole family and especially my Chihuahua . We love our dog so much. Hopefully my dog will never have to suffer ever again. Thank you FRESHPET . The veteranians should recommend this food for dogs that have digestive issues and other issues. This is great food !

Fantastic for my baby!

She loves this food! Does a new trick for it even. She spins! I’m hoping it helps her lose some weight.
