    Description
    Who We Are
    At Freshpet, our goal is to change the way people nourish their pets forever.

    We strive to strengthen the bond between people and our pets so that we both live longer, healthier, and happier lives while being kind to the planet.

    We believe that if we can create fresh, real foods that pets love and help them live healthier lives that their pet parents will also enjoy the many benefits of a rich life shared with a pet.

    We started off with a mission to change the way pet parents feed dogs and cats, but we also wanted to be a company that had a thoughtful approach to how we operate.

    We wanted to do things differently, make great products but be gentle to the planet, good to the people who touch our business, and leave a positive impact with everything we do.

    We work hard every day to ensure that the original vision is met, starting with making the highest quality foods in our kitchens to running our business with integrity, transparency, and social and environmental responsibility.
