20 Years and Counting!

Dear Fresh is Best Folks,

Happy New Year! I wish to thank you for at least 20 years of excellent service and fantastic products! I Thought you might be interested in our journey. The dogs pictured here are only 3 of the several dogs I have had eating Companion Natural/Fresh is Best products. All, except Red, were Vizslas and performance dogs.

Sprite is the Vizsla who started my journey with Companion Natural. She was allergic to 1/3 of the things on this earth. She ate the Beef fresh frozen product combined with lamb based kibble. She lived for 13 years. (I lived in WI then.)

For the other Vizslas we rotated the Beef, Turkey and Chicken fresh frozen products.

The two pups pictured are the current dogs enjoying Fresh is Best. They have been on your product since they entered my home as puppies. I do combine it with kibble. The Vizsla is Anni (7y/o) and Red is the 9 y/o Papillion.

When we moved to Tennessee, I had to switch to the freeze dried version. Red has a sensitive stomach, so the majority of his food is raw blend. With these two, we rotate the Chicken, Beef, Lamb and Pork so as to vary the proteins.

They are eager for every meal.

We occasionally purchase treats also.

My sister’s Vizslas now use Fresh is Best as a topper on their meals also.

Thank you for all you do. It’s a blessing for pet health. Happy New Year. May 2024 see prosperity for you all.

Sincerely,
Ginger M. Tierney, Red and Anni

Lamb Lover Rooney!

I’ve been doing extensive research on feline nutrition because most pet food available on the market is so processed and unhealthy, and then I discovered Fresh Is Best cat food.

What sets Fresh Is Best apart is its commitment to providing an optimal nutritional balance in cat food with special attention to the bone content.
Unlike many competitors who use a standardized ratio for dogs and cats, Fresh Is Best tailors its formula to meet the specific needs of cats. This precision alleviates my concerns about potential kidney strain.

My cat, Rooney, was immediately hooked once he took a bite of Fresh Is Best. His favorite is their lamb cat food and every single one of their treats. He immediately starts purring when I take out a bag of Fresh Is Best.

Thank you for all the research and hard work you do in producing quality food for our beloved pets.

Love, Rooney and Minae

Buying For Over 7 Years!

Fresh Is Best — Wed, 18 Oct 2023 17:52:00 +0000

I have been buying Fresh Is Best for over 7 years and I can only say the the products are absolutely phenomenal. My dogs and cats are extremely picky. They won’t even look at other freeze dried products. Every morning the dogs get a chicken neck and all the fur babies get turkey breast. My one cat even stands on his hind legs to beg. Best products out there. My fur babies are worth it. Thank you for making my babies healthy and happy!

This is Julio, My BIG boy! Julio recently turned 5 years old and after a good talk with the vet about his weight we started researching the best ways to help him slim down to prevent future health problems.
As many cats do Julio had a temptations addiction! He has always been a picky eater and it has been hard to find treats he will eat besides the big name brands, we started with chicken hearts from Fresh is Best and over the last year we have tried almost all the products. Julio turns his nose up at over-processed treats now, he loves his single ingredient snacks and I love being able to give him treats without worrying about what all is in the ingredients.
