Marketed towards pet owners with working dogs, these new meals are protein-rich, high-meat, and offer slow-release energy formulations to meet the nutritional and physical demands of these breeds. Arriving in Beef and Chicken varieties, the new Mayfield products join the company's exisiting portfolio composed of wild bird food, wild bird treats, indoor bird food and small animal food.
“We’re proud to bring Mayfield’s new Working Wet Dog Food to market through our exclusive distribution partnership," said Peter Brame, group trading director at Vital Pet Group. “Our independent retail partners are the backbone of the UK pet trade, and this product has been created with their customers in mind.
