In detail

Freshpet: the closer look

The range

Twelve fresh products in three ranges. Select Rolls is the bulk of it at eight, the Bags line holds three and there is a single grain free roll. Adult and senior labels cover all twelve products, with one puppy label. Three products are flagged for small dogs.

Ingredients

Five products lead on turkey and four on chicken, with pork on two and beef on one. Three recipes are flagged single protein and one roll is flagged grain free. Glucosamine, salmon oil and a prebiotic are all absent from the labels we hold.

Nutrition

Protein as fed runs about 10.5% to 17.0%, which is what fresh food reads, with fat from 6.0% to 13.5% and energy of 124 to 215 kcal per 100g. Nutritional balance reads Excellent on nine products and Outstanding on three, and protein and processing is Outstanding on all twelve.

Strengths

  • Every product in our Outstanding band
  • Outstanding transparency across all twelve
  • Fresh rolls and bags in one range

Limitations

  • Fresh food only, with no dry
  • One product labelled for puppies
  • Nutritional balance reads Excellent on nine

Where it is less of a fit

  • If the usual is dry or wet food, check the formats, as all twelve products are fresh
  • If a puppy is joining in, check the labels, since puppies are named on one product only
  • If grain free throughout matters, check the range, as one roll carries that flag

Score overview

Every product sits in our Outstanding band. Protein and processing, transparency and value read Outstanding on all twelve, and that is what carries the brand. Nutritional balance is the one read that drops, Excellent on nine of the twelve. The three ranges read the same band, so rolls and bags land alike.

The average score is the mean of each product's overall score out of 100 (using the best-scoring variety per product), not a flat average across every variety.
