Mars Petcare's 'Mix Mania' Encourages Mixing Wet and Dry Dog Food

— May 5, 2016 — Lifestyle
In order to increase its presence as a producer of wet dog food, Mars Petcare is launching the 'Mix Mania' campaign to unite its brands: Cesar, Pedigree, Nutro and IAMS.

A commercial for the campaign documents the "freakout face" that a dog makes when presented with a mixture of both wet and dry foods. The hilarious commercial also asks: "Shouldn't dinner always look like this?" Since wet food is typically more expensive than dry dog food, this campaign suggests a practical way to make the most of what a pet enjoys and what an owner can afford.

Pet owners who try mixing wet and dry dog foods are encouraged to snap a photo of their pooch and share a post to social media with the #MixMania hashtag.
