(PRESS RELEASE) Freshpet announced the launch of its Homestyle Creations dog recipes — a new line of USDA-certified chicken and beef patties and Healthy Mixers that give pet parents the ability to build custom meals for their favorite canine. Available in select Target and Meijer stores nationwide, Homestyle Creations is Freshpet’s next solution for continuing to drive home their mission to improve the lives of pets through the power of fresh, natural food.
A recent Freshpet survey found that nearly 25% of pet parents do some level of home cooking for pets and even more would love to, but don’t have the time or knowledge to make a nutritionally complete meal. Freshpet wanted to offer pet parents a fast and easy way to make convenient, home-made meals. To make a Homestyle Creations meal, you start with a fully cooked chicken or beef patty, then add one of the three Healthy Mixer options, which are composed of human-grade fruits, veggies or whole grains, to create a complete and balanced meal dogs will love. Upon launch, the Healthy Mixer options available include Cranberries, Carrots & Green Beans; Bananas, Cranberries & Blueberries; and Brown Rice, Pumpkin, Carrots & Green Beans. The chicken and beef patties are formulated to be nutritionally balanced, while the Healthy Mixers are made with antioxidant and fiber rich ingredients, and also include two grain free varieties.
“Freshpet has a single-minded mission to help pets live longer, healthier lives through the power of fresh, natural food,” says Jake Trainor, director of marketing at Freshpet. “Food is a key way for us to bond with our pets and with Homestyle Creations we’ve taken that a step further giving pet parents the ability to build a customized meal, but in a simple and convenient way. It will change the way pet parents feed their pets to ensure top quality while not missing out on any nutrition.”
All Freshpet meals start with 100% natural whole ingredients and are made fresh in the USA. The company uses only farm raised poultry and beef and never any meat meals, by-products or preservatives which is why you’ll find Freshpet recipes in over 19,000 fridges across the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom. Each year over 2 million pet parents feed Freshpet food and the company was recently named one of Adweek’s Top Status Quo Defying Brands of 2018.
