Inspired by traditional British recipes, Natures Menu launched a new wet dog food range, Hearty Stews, to satisfy pets with flavor, texture and complete, balanced nutrition. These comforting recipes for pets recognize that pet parents are looking for nutritious ways to feed their dogs formulas that support health and enrichment, and they deliver mixed proteins, herbs and vegetables without any artificial colors or preservatives.
Developed for adult dogs, these chunky stews paying homage to classic cuisine promise to win over even picky eaters with varieties like Beef, Chicken, Salmon, Turkey and Lamb, each with hearty vegetables.
Alongside convenient canned formats, Natures Menu launched pouch stews with prebiotics in varieties like Beef & Carrots, Chicken & Veg, Salmon & Herbs, and Turkey & Green Beans.
