QUAKERTOWN, PA – Freshpet, a processor of high-end refrigerated dog food, replaced manual screening equipment it had designed, built and installed, to clear a production bottleneck, reduce heavy lifting and improve product quality.
Established in 2005 by dog lovers John Phelps and Scott Morris, Freshpet produces products under two brand names for nationwide distribution through approximately 3,000 retailers. “Dog Rolls” are available in one-pound through six-pound chubs and “Fresh Bites” are meatballs for dogs. All of the products, which are marketed in supermarkets under the “Freshpet Select” brand and in specialty pet retailers under the “Deli Fresh” name, are made from fresh ingredients, including chicken, carrots, peas and rice, and contain no byproducts, fillers or preservatives.
