Food for over weight dogs

Hi Patsy, thank you for your interest in Freshpet. Our foods are complete and balanced, providing all the nutrients dogs need; however, they are not specifically intended for weight loss.

Additionally, we recommend speaking with your veterinarian for information regarding your dog's weight loss, as they would know their health history best. We hope this helps.

Hi Nicky, thanks for reaching out. Our meals are available in various sizes ranging from 1 lb to 6 lb bags, so how long they will last will depend on the specific recipe you feed your pup. You can safely store our meals in your refrigerator unopened until the sell-by date stamped on the packaging. Once opened, the recipes should be used within 5 -7 days, depending on the recipe, since our foods are gently cooked and contain fresh meat without preservatives.

I have 3 small dogs. I only feed wet in the morning and dry free feed rest of day. How much food would I feed in morning? ½ pound seems like a lot.

Hi Vera, our feeding guidelines vary by recipe and are available on the back of our packaging and on our website. Please visit: https://www.freshpet.com/products, select the recipe you're interested in, and scroll down to the feeding guidelines tab. This will give you the suggested guidelines for daily feeding when only feeding Freshpet. You can adjust their serving portions based on their activity levels and energy requirements.
