Freshpet Food Truck and Dr. Katy Nelson to Attend “My Dog Loves Central Park Fair”

Secaucus, NJ (September 2013) – Freshpet, the only company making fresh, refrigerated dog and cat food nationwide, is proud to sponsor the 11th Annual “My Dog Loves Central Park Fair” to promote responsible stewardship of the park. The event will be held on Saturday, October 5th, from 11:00 am to 3:00 pm at Central Park’s Naumburg Brandshell.

Freshpet ambassadors will be at the fair all day with their renowned Freshpet Food Truck, dishing out free samples of their fresh food to four-legged attendees and coupons to pet parents. If you haven’t seen the Freshpet Food Truck before you’re in for a real treat! Your pup can actually walk right up to the window for a tasty bite.

Also joining in on the fun will be Dr. Katy Nelson, pet nutrition expert and experienced veterinarian, to educate attendees on the importance of proper nutrition and exercise to keep your pet happy and healthy. She’s also happy to answer any questions attendees may have about their pet’s health and wellness.

“Freshpet has become my go-to food for my two dogs because of the high-quality meats and veggies used to make their nutritious meals. When you read the label, the ingredients are familiar and sound like the ones you’d find on your own grocery list – chicken, peas, carrots, and brown rice. I’m excited to join Freshpet in spreading the word that eating fresh, less processed food can really make a difference in the quality of your pet’s life,” says Dr. Katy Nelson.

To demonstrate how important fresh food is to both people and pets, Freshpet is challenging Dr. Katy and her family to live without their refrigerator for seven days, beginning September 9th. To find out what happens when you take away her fridge, visit www.freshpet.com. Freshpet will also be kicking off a consumer contest in mid-September, where one lucky winner will receive their very own Freshpet fridge and a year’s supply of Freshpet food.
