José Andrés Launches Mediterranean-inspired Gourmet Dog Food
World-renowned Chef José Andrés is launching a new pet food brand REÁL MESA™, featuring Mediterranean-inspired ingredients and chef curated recipes, which will soon be available to purchase on Chewy.com and Amazon.
REÁL MESA was created when Andrés and his closest friends and fellow pet lovers, gathered around a dinner table to discuss their shared passion for bringing families together through quality food. Believing that pets are a part of the family, too, the brand was designed to bring a delicious menu of Mediterranean-inspired food to pets’ plates. Axios reports that though Andrés does not have a dog, he has been providing animal care through his well known global disaster relief nonprofit World Central Kitchen.
“Pets of America, you deserve delicious meals, too!” said Andrés, Co-Founder of the brand. “Dogs give us so much love. It is only fair that we give them the best food we can with the quality of ingredients and care we would give anyone in our family.”
With ingredients such as real chicken, wild-caught salmon, brown rice, chickpeas, carrots, figs, kale and a proprietary blend of herbs and spices, REÁL MESA brings the number one human diet to pets’ bowls. The products follow José Andrés’ philosophy of strengthening connections through the power of delicious food that is sourced responsibly and made from high-quality ingredients.
Products are available for dogs of any age, with one puppy and three adult main meals in recipes like Mediterranean Chicken & Rice Entrée and Wild Caught Salmon Feast. Pets can also enjoy treats and toppers in a variety of flavors like Lamb Recipe Bites and Chicken Kabobs.
“As a team of animal lovers, we know how much joy pets can bring,” said REÁL MESA’s Chief Marketing Officer Tierney Monaco. “It’s our mission to bring families (including dogs!) together over a delicious meal. We look forward to feeding the relationship with our beloved pets and contributing to endless evenings of laughter, joy and togetherness.”
To further support communities around the world, a portion of every REÁL MESA purchase will be contributed to World Central Kitchen, a nonprofit organization that is first to the frontlines providing fresh meals in response to crises around the globe.
