Freshpet is dedicated to creating high-quality food for pets but whilst the business grew, its focus spread to a space that created positivity for not only pets but for pet owners and the planet as well. The Petfresh ethos is to revolutionize the way that pets eat at home by creating a selection of [fresh and natural food options](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/get-real-dog-food). The nutritious factors lie in its ingredients, with incorporations of [100% natural farm-raised meats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ethos-pet-brands) in every meal including poultry, fish, and beef. There are also garden vegetables packed with fiber and fruits that are rich in antioxidants.

Notably, Freshpet works in collaboration with dozens of national and local [pet adoption organizations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/friends-family-pet-food) to find a home for animals without one. The label regularly gives back to the network with financial gifts, food, and donations.
