When we first got Nixon, I knew I wanted to give him the best. He’s more than a pet… he’s family. And just like I care about what my kids are eating, I started thinking more about what was actually in Nixon’s food.
I’d been feeding him traditional kibble without a second thought… until I realized how processed and artificial most dog food actually is. That’s when I decided to make the switch to Freshpet Delivery, and I’m not exaggerating when I say that I noticed a serious difference.
Here are the 4 benefits that convinced me Freshpet Delivery is totally worth the hype:
1. Real ingredients I can actually see (and pronounce)

One of the first things I noticed? This looks and smells like actual food. I’m talking visible chunks of real chicken, carrots, peas—ingredients I recognize, not some mysterious brown pellets. Freshpet Delivery meals are made with fresh, natural ingredients like real meat, fruits, and veggies. Then, they’re gently steam-cooked to lock in the nutrients. In other words: no artificial stuff, no fillers, no weird odors.
As a mom, I read every label before I feed something to my kids. Doesn’t your dog deserve that same level of care? And luckily for me, Nixon cannot get enough of Freshpet Delivery meals. Yes, my notoriously picky pup can’t wait to chow down on Freshpet Delivery’s real food and natural recipes, helping him hit all his caloric and wellness goals with each delicious bite. With Freshpet Delivery, I don’t have to wonder what he’s eating; it’s all right there, fresh and clear as day.
2. So. Much. More. Energy.
Before Freshpet Delivery, Nixon was pretty mellow. Don’t get me wrong, he’s always been a good boy, but… he’d nap all day and barely perk up for walks. About two weeks into his new Freshpet Delivery meals, it was like someone flipped a switch. He started zooming around the backyard again, full of energy and personality.
It turns out that when dogs eat food that actually fuels them—full of real protein, vitamins, and antioxidants—they feel better. I noticed a major difference in his energy levels and overall mood. He’s more playful, more alert, and honestly seems... happier.
No more guesswork with the portions (or the defrosting)

Can we talk about convenience for a second? Because this one’s huge. I’ve tried frozen delivery food before, and between the freezer overload, the slimy packaging, and trying to remember to thaw it out—it was kind of a mess.
Freshpet Delivery is stored in your refrigerator, not freezer, which means it’s ready to go when I am. I keep it next to our groceries, and it’s super easy to scoop out, reseal, and store. No freezer Tetris. No defrost drama. And the Freshpet Delivery meal plan takes out all the guesswork—they customize Nixon’s meals based on his size and needs, deliver right to our door, and tell me exactly how much food to give him for each meal. Effortless.
A healthier weight and a shinier coat
I wasn’t expecting this one, but it’s been such a noticeable change. Nixon had slowly gained a little extra weight (same, buddy), and I figured it was just part of getting older. But since switching to Freshpet Delivery, his weight started balancing out without any crash diet or cutting back. Just real, balanced food doing its thing.
Bonus? His coat looks amazing. It’s shinier, softer, and way less shedding than before. Freshpet Delivery supports healthy digestion, which apparently plays a big role in skin and coat health. Whatever the science is—I’m here for it. He’s never looked better.
Better food = better life for your fur baby

At the end of the day, Nixon can’t tell me how he feels, but I can see it. The switch to Freshpet Delivery has made a real difference—from how he moves to how he looks, to how excited he gets at mealtime (tail wags for days). It’s more than just dog food; it’s a fresh, feel-good upgrade for your pup’s everyday health.
And as a busy mom, knowing he’s getting top-quality meals with zero hassle? That’s a win in my book. If you’ve been wondering if it’s worth it to go fresh—this is your sign. Freshpet Delivery truly lives up to the hype.
