The Pets Table, the premium direct-to-consumer pet food brand from HelloFresh, announced EasyFresh, a shelf-stable, human-grade dog food line designed to deliver the nutritional benefits of a fresh food diet without the drawbacks of fresh-frozen pet food. While premium fresh food is nutritious, it requires dedicated freezer space, advance planning to safely thaw portions and consistent prep time, all of which can be challenges for pet parents with limited storage, busy schedules and moments when life gets in the way. No-added-preservatives EasyFresh need no freezer space, yet retain natural flavor, nutrients and moisture at room temperature, thanks to patented packaging technology.
EasyFresh can be served as a standalone complete meal, a nutritious dry food topper, or alongside The Pets Table products. Now, there are two recipes to shop: Chicken & Kale Stew or Pork & Spinach Plate.
