Welcome to the Week’s Review of Canine Social Media
- Welcome to this Special Feature on the DoggieU K9 Blog for an update on this week’s dog-related media and social media from around the world. There are so many stories. Here we will share some of the best stories this week.
Enjoy & share them.
Petco Health and Wellness Company and Freshet have recently announced an innovative partnership to produce and deliver fresh, customized subscription meal plans directly to pet parents’ doors.
Available exclusively on Petco’s website, Freshpet Custom Meals are crafted for optimal nutrition by veterinary nutritionists for dogs. 
Recently, more pet parents have been shifting to fresh food for their pets. Freshpet and Petco are making it easier to access high-quality options, regardless of how they choose to shop.
- Freshpet Custom Meals are the result of increasing consumer interest in direct-to-doorstep fresh, personalized pet meal plans.
- Â Purchasing trends gathered by consumer surveys and purchase data show that the fresh/frozen pet food industry is expected to grow three to four times its current value, reaching up to $6 billion in the next four years, and the direct-to-consumer pet segment is growing at an event faster rate than pet e-commerce.
After completing a short questionnaire on their dog’s attributes, sensitivities and health goals online, pet parents will receive a personalized meal plan with specific feeding guidelines based on the pet’s breed, age, body type, activity level and more. Pet parents can select their preferred delivery window for the food to be sent via Petco’s delivery services. The subscription meal plan starts at $3 per day. 
All Freshpet Custom Meals recipes are made with natural chicken, beef, salmon or eggs, real fruits and vegetables, and never any powdered meat meals or preservatives. Each meal is gently steam-cooked to retain vital nutrients and kept refrigerated until it reaches the pet parent’s home.
The offering has launched regionally across 15 states, including California, Texas, Florida and New York, and will be available nationally online later this year. Customers can receive a discount that is automatically applied to their first order.
