Market outlook and category trends
Fresh and frozen pet food is projected to grow from $3 billion to potentially $10 billion in retail sales within a decade, with strong long-term demand drivers such as pet humanization and premiumization trends.
Despite recent macroeconomic headwinds, the category remains resilient, with temporary slowdowns in growth attributed to record-low consumer sentiment.
Historical patterns show that category growth rebounds after periods of economic stress, with premiumization expected to return as consumer confidence improves.
New entrants and increased advertising are expected to benefit the category overall, raising consumer awareness and driving long-term growth.
Demographic trends, such as households treating pets as family, continue to support robust demand.
Business performance and operational improvements
EBITDA margin improved from 3% three years ago to a projected 18% this year, with gross margins around 48%.
Operational enhancements, particularly in manufacturing, have driven significant margin expansion and efficiency.
The company is on track to be free cash flow positive this year, aided by reduced CapEx and existing installed capacity of $1.5 billion.
CapEx for the year was reduced to $175 million from an initial $250 million, with further reductions possible if growth remains moderate.
Maintenance and fridge investments are stable, while capacity expansion is being deferred in line with demand.
Strategic focus and marketing initiatives
Media strategy is shifting from broad broadcast to more targeted digital and social channels, focusing on high-value consumers (MVPs) who spend $500+ annually.
New advertising campaigns emphasize the health and value of fresh food, aiming to drive trade-up from kibble and can.
Distribution is expanding, including new placements in club channels and additional fridges in winning retail channels.
A new entry-level product, Complete Nutrition, was launched to attract first-time buyers.
Household penetration continues to grow in high single digits, with MVPs growing in mid double digits, and buy rate gains of 5–6%.

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.
