Oooh Something For the Poochie!

First off I must say, coming home from the hospital to an email from Freshpet was simply an awesome treat.

Usually all I get are junk emails by the hundreds (so not kidding I clear my email 3 or 4 times a day with like 20 junk emails)  So I was really glad when I didn't accidentally delete it and move on. Because the products they had me test...well, simply AMAZING. I'm not just saying this because they sent me free swag for the pampered pooch either. When I say pampered I really am just looking for a nicer way to say spoiled. But because it truly turned out to be an awesome product and we will (slowly - she's old remember) be making the switch to feeding her Freshpet. =)

Thats a pretty serious endorsement from someone thats very into doggy health. Since she's aged leaps and bounds in the last 3 years we've had her. (she was 4 when we got her, then "maybe" 6, the latest estimate from our vet is some where between 10-14 years old.)

I was also highly impressed with their promptness through the whole thing and the business team, gets an A+ for sending me so much literature on the products they sell, the business plan, and information about their partners.

Now for the actual review. Freshpet was awesome enough to send me the nicest freezer bag and apron. (sorry no pics of me in the apron from making the cookies. I just had a baby and look kind of gross)



We were lucky enough to try out both flavors! Peanut butter and Oatmeal and Dog Nation Oatmeal and Cranberry. Abby preferred the Peanut butter and Oatmeal flavor of cookies the most. I don't know if it was the cranberries but she would spit the cranberries out. But you have to keep in mind, she is extremely picky. Her thumbs up for anything is amazing.

As far as the actual process of making the cookies. It was beyond simple. They are even pre-cut to be the perfect size for your poochie! Smaller dogs like Abby might need them broken in half just because she's older and doesn't eat as much anymore. Also knowing that all natural ingredients and "real" foods go into these yummy treats, I had no problem having our two year old give them to Abby, because I know I can trust Freshpet to not have any "weird" gross things that would be potentially harmful to him, or Abby.

Like human cookie dough these need to be refrigerated until baked and last about 14 days after you bake them in an air tight container. I made the "mistake" of making both boxes at once, since Abby doesn't eat much over her normal 3/4 cup of food. Since both boxes have 18 cookies, well lets just say, Abby is looking a wee bit plumper. But we've been making friends at the dog park, I've been passing out cookies and telling everyone about Freshpet ready to bake cookies. I so far have not met a dog that doesn't go totally crazy for these delish cookies!

Abby Gives these cookies 5 stars!


I give these cookies 5 stars for ease of use. Seriously just pop them on a cookie sheet, stick them in the oven....and cookies!

I was sad that my picky dog didn't really like the cranberry cookies, especially now that she's having some "potty" problems I was hoping the whole cranberries would help with her health.
