Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Nature of the Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	Note 1 – Nature of the Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies: Nature of the Business – Freshpet, Inc. (hereafter referred to as “Freshpet” or the “Company”), a Delaware corporation, manufactures and markets natural fresh meals and treats for dogs and cats. The Company’s products are distributed throughout the United States and other international markets into major retail classes including Grocery and Mass (which includes club) as well as Pet Specialty and Natural retail. Principles of Consolidation – The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“U.S. GAAP”). The financial statements include the accounts of the Company as well as the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Basis of Presentation – The accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2017, statements of operations and comprehensive loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, and statements of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 are unaudited. The interim unaudited financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual audited financial statements and in accordance with the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. In the opinion of management, the interim unaudited financial statements reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair statement of the Company’s financial position as of June 30, 2017, the results of its operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, and its cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016. The financial data and other information disclosed in these notes related to the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 are unaudited. The results for three and six months ended June 30, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2017, or any other interim periods, or any future year or period. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes in Item 8 of Part II, “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data,” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016. Estimates and Uncertainties – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results, as determined at a later date, could differ from those estimates. Foreign Currency Contracts – The Company may enter into forward exchange contracts to reduce the Company’s exposure to foreign currency fluctuations of certain assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies. The foreign currency forward contracts have not been designated as hedges and, accordingly, any changes in their fair value are recognized on the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss in Other expenses, net, and carried at their fair value in the Consolidated Balance Sheet with assets reported in Prepaid expenses and other current assets and liabilities reported in Accrued expenses. As of June 30, 2017, the notional value of-foreign currency forward contracts outstanding was 0.9 million Pounds Sterling. The fair value of the foreign currency forward contracts are measured using Level 2 inputs in the fair value hierarchy because they are determined based on a market approach utilizing externally quoted forward rates for similar contracts. For the three months and six months ended June 30, 2017 the net loss recognized on forward contracts was less than $0.1 million.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Recently Issued Accounting Standards	Note 2 – Recently Issued Accounting Standards: Not Yet Adopted In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”, which requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. The ASU will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP when it becomes effective. In connection with this ASU, the FASB also issued ASU No. 2016-10 regarding identification of performance obligations and licensing considerations, ASU No. 2016-12 regarding narrow scope improvements and practical expedients, and ASU No. 2016-08 which clarifies the implementation of guidance on principal versus agent considerations. In August 2015, the FASB deferred the effective date of ASU No. 2014-09 to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted only for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016. The standard permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. The Company is currently utilizing a comprehensive approach to assess the impact of this guidance by reviewing current accounting policies to identify the potential impact of the new requirements on its revenue contracts. The Company does not currently expect this guidance to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. The Company currently expects to adopt the new guidance beginning in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018 and has not yet selected a transition method. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, "Leases,” which requires lessees to recognize the assets and liabilities that arise from leases on the balance sheet. A lessee should recognize in the statement of financial position a liability to make lease payments (the lease liability) and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. The new guidance is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The amendments should be applied at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach with earlier application permitted as of the beginning of an interim or annual reporting period. The Company is assessing the impact of ASU No. 2016-02 on its corporate office lease, and upon adoption of this guidance, expects to record the lease on its consolidated balance sheet in accordance with ASU No. 2016-02.

Debt Disclosure [Abstract]
Debt	Note 6 – Debt: On November 13, 2014, the Company entered into senior secured credit facilities (the “Debt Refinancing”) comprised of a 5-year $18.0 million term facility (the “Term Facility”), a 3-year $10.0 million revolving facility (the “Revolving Facility”) and a $12.0 million additional term loan commitment earmarked primarily for capital expenditures (the “Capex Commitments” and together with the Term Facility and Revolving Facility, the “Credit Facilities” and such loan agreement, the “Loan Agreement”). On December 23, 2014, the Company repaid the outstanding $18.0 million and modified the terms of the $40.0 million Credit Facilities. The $18.0 million term facility was extinguished, the 3-year $10.0 million Revolving Facility remained unchanged, and the $12.0 million term loan commitment earmarked for capital expenditures was increased to $30.0 million. Any drawn Capex Commitments will mature on the fifth anniversary of the execution of the Loan Agreement. Any undrawn Capex Commitments will expire on the third anniversary of the execution of the Loan Agreement. Under the terms of the Loan Agreement, the commitments for the Revolving Facility may be increased up to $20.0 million subject to certain conditions. The Loan Agreement provides for the maintenance of various covenants, including financial covenants, and includes events of default that are customary for facilities of this type. As of June 30, 2017, the Company was in compliance with all the covenants in the Loan Agreement and had $7.5 million in debt outstanding under the Credit Facilities. Borrowings under our Credit Facilities totaled $2.0 million, partially offset by repayments of $1.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017. Interest expense and fees totaled $0.2 million and $0.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively. Interest expense and fees totaled $0.1 million and $0.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively. There was less than $0.1 million of accrued interest on the Credit Facilities as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

These options are time-based (vest over five years). Certain option awards provide for accelerated vesting if there is a change in control (as defined in the 2006 Plan). At June 30, 2017, there were zero shares available for grant as the 2006 Plan is frozen. 2010 Stock Plan —In December 2010, the Company approved the 2010 Stock Plan (the “2010 Plan”) under which options to purchase approximately 2,146,320 shares of the Company’s common stock were granted to employees and affiliates of the Company (in 2012, the 2010 Plan was amended to allow for the granting of approximately 2,220,280 options to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock). The outstanding options are time-based (vest between two and four years). The options granted have maximum contractual terms of 10 years. The Board of Directors froze the 2010 Plan such that no further grants may be issued under the 2010 Plan. 2014 Omnibus Incentive Plan —In November 2014, the Company approved the 2014 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2014 Plan”) under which 1,479,200 shares of common stock may be issued or used for reference purposes as awards granted under the 2014 Plan. In September 2016, the 2014 Plan was amended to allow for the granting of an additional 2,500,000 shares of common stock to be issued or used for reference purposes as awards granted, for a total of 3,979,200 shares. These awards may be in the form of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, as well as other stock-based and cash-based awards. As of June 30, 2017, the awards granted were either time-based, performance-based (vest when performance targets are met, as defined in the stock option grant agreement), or restricted stock units (employee RSUs vest over 3 years and non-employee director RSUs vest over 1 year). At June 30, 2017, there were 2,073,286 shares of common stock available to be issued or used for reference purposes under the 2014 Plan. NASDAQ Marketplace Rules Inducement Award —During fiscal year 2016, stock-based awards were granted to the Company’s CEO as an inducement under the NASDAQ Marketplace Rules, and therefore outside of any Plan. Under the terms of the agreement, the grant is governed as if issued under the 2014 Omnibus Plan. As of June 30, 2017, the awards granted were time-based (cliff vest over four years) and performance-based (vest when performance targets are met, as defined in the stock option grant agreement).

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]
Earnings Per Share	Note 8 – Earnings Per Share: Basic net loss per share of common stock is calculated by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. Diluted net loss per share of common stock is computed by giving effect to all potentially dilutive securities. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, there were no adjustments between net loss and net loss attributable to common stockholders. The potentially dilutive securities are as follows: Three Months Ended Six Months Ended June 30, June 30, 2017 2016 2017 2016 Service Period Stock Options 2,823,313 2,149,748 2,792,566 2,063,021 Restricted Stock Units 175,918 59,022 136,933 29,511 Warrants 61,117 61,117 61,117 61,117 Total 3,060,348 2,269,887 2,990,616 2,153,649 For the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, diluted net loss per share of common stock is the same as basic net loss per share of common stock, due to the fact that potentially dilutive securities would have an antidilutive effect as the Company incurred a net loss during such periods.

Nature of the Business and Su17

Nature of the Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)	6 Months Ended
	Jun. 30, 2017
Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Nature of the Business	Nature of the Business – Freshpet, Inc. (hereafter referred to as “Freshpet” or the “Company”), a Delaware corporation, manufactures and markets natural fresh meals and treats for dogs and cats. The Company’s products are distributed throughout the United States and other international markets into major retail classes including Grocery and Mass (which includes club) as well as Pet Specialty and Natural retail.
Principles of Consolidation	Principles of Consolidation – The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“U.S. GAAP”). The financial statements include the accounts of the Company as well as the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation – The accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2017, statements of operations and comprehensive loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, and statements of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 are unaudited. The interim unaudited financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual audited financial statements and in accordance with the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. In the opinion of management, the interim unaudited financial statements reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair statement of the Company’s financial position as of June 30, 2017, the results of its operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, and its cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016. The financial data and other information disclosed in these notes related to the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 are unaudited. The results for three and six months ended June 30, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2017, or any other interim periods, or any future year or period. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes in Item 8 of Part II, “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data,” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.
Estimates and Uncertainties	Estimates and Uncertainties – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results, as determined at a later date, could differ from those estimates.
Foreign Currency Contracts	Foreign Currency Contracts – The Company may enter into forward exchange contracts to reduce the Company’s exposure to foreign currency fluctuations of certain assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies. The foreign currency forward contracts have not been designated as hedges and, accordingly, any changes in their fair value are recognized on the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss in Other expenses, net, and carried at their fair value in the Consolidated Balance Sheet with assets reported in Prepaid expenses and other current assets and liabilities reported in Accrued expenses. As of June 30, 2017, the notional value of-foreign currency forward contracts outstanding was 0.9 million Pounds Sterling. The fair value of the foreign currency forward contracts are measured using Level 2 inputs in the fair value hierarchy because they are determined based on a market approach utilizing externally quoted forward rates for similar contracts. For the three months and six months ended June 30, 2017 the net loss recognized on forward contracts was less than $0.1 million.
