The Clif Pet snacks are an upcoming product line from the brand's in-house ventures group, Trailblazers Incubator, as a lineup of products for pet owners to give their furry friends. The pet treats feature a plant-based recipe that will come in three varieties when it is formally launched in early 2022 to accommodate the growing demand for meat-free dog products. The flavors will include Pumpkin & Apple, Sweet Potato & Blueberry and Butternut Squash & Cranberry.
Chief Innovation Officer at Cli Bar Rizal Hamdallah commented on the new Clif Pet snacks saying, "Just as Clif Bar was founded on disrupting the energy bar category nearly 30 years ago, the Trailblazers Incubator is built to consistently deliver our bold innovation agenda and accelerate our growth plan. In addition to a rapid, data-driven product development and go-to-market strategy, what makes our approach different is extending the loyalty of the Clif brand. By introducing Clif Pet, we will bring energy to the whole family.”
