REÁL MESA uses Mediterranean-inspired ingredients for its chef-crafted dog food, and the new pet food brand got its start when world-renowned Chef José Andrés and his pet-loving friends gathered around a dinner table to talk about their shared passion for bringing families together through quality food. Since pets are an important part of the family as well, REÁL MESA is on a mission to bring Mediterranean-inspired food to pets’ plates.
Within recipes like Mediterranean Chicken & Rice Entrée and Wild Caught Salmon Feast, pet parents will find real food ingredients like chickpeas, carrots, figs and kale, plus herbs and spices. Alongside the comforting meals it makes for pets, the brand also produces treats and toppers in varieties such as Lamb Recipe Bites and Chicken Kabobs.
