Freshpet’s Dog Food Advertising Found Misleading
On March 17, 2026, following a Fast-Track SWIFT challenge brought by The Farmer’s Dog, the BBB National Programs’ National Advertising Division (“NAD”) found that certain of Freshpet’s dog food advertisements were misleading. Specifically, the NAD determined that Freshpet’s video advertisements, including statements and images implying that their dog food is made “the same way you make healthy food for people,” convey a message that Freshpet’s dog food is human grade. Accordingly, the NAD recommended that Freshpet discontinue such claims and modify the advertisements.
