Q: What’s the difference between the Tender chicken recipe and the Home cooked chicken recipe

submitted by Lola - 6 months ago
  • A: Hi Lola, thanks for reaching out. The main difference between these recipes comes down to a few ingredients added for flavor and nutritional support. Both recipes still include wholesome ingredients like chicken, eggs, carrots, spinach, and oats, but each recipe has its own unique blend. Roasted meals tender chicken recipe with garden vegetables recipe includes ingredients like chicken liver, and celery powder, while our Fresh from the kitchen home cooked chicken recipe includes cranberries, fish oil, and paprika. These differences are completely normal between recipes and are designed to provide balanced nutrition while offering different tastes and ingredient combinations for pets to enjoy. Hope this helps! -Amanda

    Very disappointed

    I usually buy the logs and add extra vegetables to them but I wanted to give this a chance just to switch things up a bit for my dog. I paid almost $16 for this bag and was looking forward to seeing a bag with chicken and cranberries and green vegetables and carrots. You can see by my photos every once in awhile there's a stray cranberry skin and some slivers of carrot pieces and that's it. Where's the green? Where's the green beans, the peas, the spinach? After 3 feedings I've only found two cranberries and of course the little pieces of carrot. Don't get me wrong my dog absolutely loves this. But when you say fresh vegetables I expect fresh vegetables in the bag not just in the picture on the bag. Do better!

    Gave dog diarrhea

    I bought this a few weeks ago and last week I noticed several pieces in the bag had mold. My dog has also been having diarrhea, and now I know why. I had it refrigerated the entire time and it was well before the expiration date (see photos).

    16 year old dog is a puppy again

    I never believed the commercials about pets changing after a food change but have now witnessed these changes first hand. We thought our 16 year old was slowing down just from natural aging. She hadn’t played with her toys for years and refused to walk often stopping in the middle of crossing the street. We started feeding her Fresh Pet and within weeks, her tear stains were gone, she was sleeping less and started playing again. She is retrieving her toy up to 10 times now stopping only when my husband or I stop throwing it. The difference in her is amazing. I am now a believer! Thank you, Fresh Pet!!!

    Fresh Pet saved our dying dog

    Our 14.5-year-old dog had been on a Hill’s prescription diet from our vet. She was going downhill, stopped eating, and looked really bad. The vet said this might be it—her kidney function was deteriorating and she wouldn’t eat. Before we made the decision to put her down, my wife and I decided to try Freshpet, just to see. The result was remarkable. She started eating again, and within a week she was like a new dog: alert, eating well, gaining strength, and frisky again. It’s been two months now and she’s still going strong. It felt like a miracle. Thank you, Freshpet.

    maybe the dogfood refrigeration unit needs servicing?

    My dogs usually really love this food. My complaint is that when I get it from drive-up, it has had mold growing inside the bag. This has happened a few times recently and I'm just not buying it from drive-up again. This food costs too much for this to be a recurring problem. I'll get it elsewhere, where I can inspect the bag before purchase. This is $10 in the trash

    Good Food, Poor Stocking

    I love this dog food and have used it for years. The problem is sometimes the person who stocks the fridge is careless with how they open the box and the bag will be sliced open in the back. I have had this happen to me 2 times recently, which requires a trip back to the store if you dont notice it in time. I do a lot of pick up and delivery, so it creates an inconvenience in making a 2nd trip back. I wish the shopper would also check for this before packing it up and putting it in my car. When the chicken is exposed to air like this, the entire bag is ruined and it creates mold. So 5 stars for the food and 3 stars for target.

    Picky eater

    I started buying this for my b tiny toy poodle because she is so picky. I actually had Gracie eating it within 2weeks. I buy mine from my local grocery store. I cant believe Gracie eats it but she sure does and u can tell how much better her fur looks. Its so shiny! She plays more and she acts like she feels so much better! I am afraid to try a different kind because Gracie loves the cranberries in it. Thanks Fresh Pet

    Why did you change it?

    My 2 dogs have loved fresh pet, but you changed it, I am curious why, because they now hate it, won't eat it, sniff it, look at it and if they are hungry enough they will finally dive in but what happens after is awful. What was wrong with the original? The color of the food and the shape of the food has changed. Fortunately, I can still find the non improved formula at my grocery stores, but who knows for how long, so I am making a change now before that and really sad as they loved your food until you changed it. Sometimes change is good, in this case, you lost a customer. Dogs can be finicky, change doesn't go over well, and my babies are what matters most, so going to Farmers Dog.

    thanks for getting my dog on a schedule to eat

    My little Boston terrier used to be picky and might not eat but once per day. Now when I get up in the morning she bounces while I fix her breakfast. She loves Fresh pet food. We have no problem having her eat twice a day and she literally loves it.

    Quality changed. It's not longer good for my dog

    We used to feed our dog with this brand for about 3-4 months. Aprox. 3 weeks ago, we bought a bag of different recipe and our dog got stomach upset next day. I stop using this food and cookie for my dog and she got well immediately. Then we got another bag with the usual recipe, thw one in the photo, and got sick again the very next day of having it. Unfortunately, we had to stop buying this product.
