excellent app, it gives me free access to company earnings calls and annual reports. I also love the convenience of calls being available offline so I can listen in whilst doing other things and even when internet or WiFi isn't available.

One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.

Frequently asked questions

Fresh Pet Food

Freshpet is an American company that, as suggested by its name, manufactures and sells fresh pet food that needs to be refrigerated. The company markets its products as a healthier and fresher alternative to traditional pet food and has both cat and dog food in its portfolio of products. The company is headquartered in Secaucus, New Jersey, and its shares are traded on the Nasdaq.

Founded by Pet Food Executives

Founded in 2006 the company was started by former pet food executives Scott Morris, and Cathal Walsh, who identified a niche in the pet food market for products that focused on fresh, whole ingredients with minimal processing. Freshpet set itself apart by providing these refrigerated foods and marketing them as a healthier and better alternative to traditional dry or canned pet food options. The brand's growth reflected a shift in consumer preferences towards more natural and fresh food options for pets. Today, the company’s products are sold at retailers such as Walmart and Target, as well as at specialized pet stores.

For Cats and Dogs

Freshpet offers a range of refrigerated food products for both dogs and cats, focusing on fresh, natural ingredients. Their dog food line includes various forms such as rolls, bagged meals, and patties, catering to different canine dietary needs and preferences. These products typically feature real meats, vegetables, and grains, without preservatives or fillers. Freshpet also provides grain-free and chicken-free options to accommodate dogs with specific dietary restrictions or allergies.

For cats, Freshpet's selection is similarly crafted with fresh, high-quality ingredients, including poultry, beef, and fish. The cat food range offers meals in both rolled and bagged formats. These recipes are designed to meet feline nutritional requirements, with an emphasis on high protein content and essential vitamins and minerals.

Across both ranges, Freshpet emphasizes the use of natural ingredients, minimal processing, and the absence of artificial preservatives, aiming to offer pet food that is closer to a natural diet. This is something that has become more and more important to consumers as the years pass, as it has become easier than ever before to become educated on what pets need in order to live long and healthy lives.
