The Tails.com Toppers range has been developed by the tailored dog food brand as a series of pet food toppers that embrace a functional formulation to work well for a variety of owner concerns. The product line is launching in the UK as a Sainsbury's exclusive and comes in four flavors including Chicken, Fish, Beef and Veg, which are each fortified with ingredients that will support specific concerns from dog owners. The Inner Vitality Toppers take aim at Skin & Coat with Fish, Digestion & Gut with Chicken, Mobility & Joint with Beef and Immunity & Care for the Veg.
Head of Retail Dan Benson spoke on the Tails.com Toppers range saying, "Whether it’s adding extra flavour, variety or targeted nutritional support, the new Toppers make it easy to enhance every bowl. With four recipes to choose from across bone broth and freeze-dried formats, owners can mix things up to suit their dog’s tastes, preferences or specific needs."
