I want them to be healthy and happy, but I also love spoiling them any chance I get. \u00a0While I can&#8217;t exactly get inside either of their heads- I have a feeling that the dog food they eat is just a matter of satisfying hunger. \u00a0I feel awful that I can&#8217;t feed them the delicious foods on my own plate, but it&#8217;s not worth risking their health to make them happy for a few bites. \u00a0Which made me wonder, why can&#8217;t they make dog food more like real food?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Have you guys heard of Freshpet?<\/strong> \u00a0I&#8217;m kinda, super-intrigued. \u00a0They seem to have answered my question by providing pet food that is\u00a0<em>refrigerated. \u00a0<\/em>(AKA fresh!!) \u00a0I&#8217;m talking dog food that your dog can get\u00a0<em>excited\u00a0<\/em>about. \u00a0To better illustrate this point, check out this new Freshpet video. It is\u00a0<em>too<\/em><strong>\u00a0<\/strong>cute!<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/M0iN7B615po?feature=player_embedded\" width=\"578\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Adorable, right? \u00a0I love the part when he rides the chair&#8230; \u00a0What a little smarty pants. After watching this video and learning a little more about Freshpet, I was beyond thrilled when I was offered a product sample to try on my own pups. \u00a0(They have cat food too!)<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">When the pup goodies arrived on my front porch I quickly removed them from the cooler and put them in the fridge in the garage. When I came back to the kitchen, my Katie girl was investigating the cooler the food and treats had come in. \u00a0Dogs have such a crazy sense of smell&#8230;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><a
