It was earlier this year when a new fridge appeared in the pet aisle at my local Tesco's, stocking a new brand to the UK from the US, a pet food called Freshpet. I'd never heard of Freshpet before, so was excited to see what it was all about.

Freshpet offers human-grade meats and vegetables, food that’s cooked, not processed and wholesome. They offer meat meals in rolls that can be sliced into pieces, they also offer treats. Freshpet is ideal for pet parents who want to feed their pets premium, real foods but are too busy or are not confident in making it at home.

In the UK, less processed, healthier pet treats is also a growing trend and, according to a 2016 Mintel report, two-fifths of British pet owners have expressed an interest in feeding their pets fresh pet food and treats that contain none of the nasties of more processed foods currently available.

Freshpet has recently launched Dog Joy Turkey Bacon Treats which are now available in the UK – just in time for Christmas! You'll find them in the Freshpet chiller cabinet in the pet aisle, alongside its already popular batched cooked, chilled fresh food for pets, in over 300 Tesco stores nationwide.

These wholesome strips of naturally wood-smoked turkey bacon look and smell like human turkey bacon and will be Freshpet’s first treat to launch in the UK.  Dog Joy Turkey Bacon treats are free from corn, wheat, soy by-products and fillers. They offer a good source of natural protein, are hypoallergenic and contain NO rendered meats, artificial flavourings, sweeteners or preservatives. 

For people who don’t have the time or ability to cook home-made for their dogs, adding Freshpet Joy Turkey & Bacon, is the perfect treat.
