Variety Pet Foods Give Canines a Reason to Be Thankful « About Petco – Petco"s Company Information Site

A new line of canned dog food from Variety Pet has arrived in PETCO stores just in time for the Thanksgiving holiday. These formulas give pampered pooches a way to join the family during the holidays year-round with a variety of fun human-like all-natural food flavors – like the Thanksgiving Dinner recipe.

Every two-pack of Variety Pet Home Style Recipe Dog Food is just $ 3.99 and right now pet parents can choose from six different holiday flavors – Thanksgiving Dinner, Grandma’s Casserole, Colorado Cookout, Savannah Crockpot, Sunday Brunch, and Pacific Entree.

“Pet parents can take home a Thanksgiving Dinner for their own dog, or as a gift while visiting family and friends at their holiday gatherings,” says PETCO’s VP of Dog Consumables Rick Rockhill. “The Thanksgiving Dinner recipe is a great way to get furry family members into the celebration, and because it’s all-natural, it’s a healthy addition to any pet’s diet.”

Every can of Variety Pet Home Style Recipe Dog Food is made in the U.S.A. with premium, natural ingredients, contains no by-products, wheat or preservatives. The foods are veterinarian formulated, featuring Omega 3s and linoleic acid for healthy skin and coat, along with a boost of 16 essential vitamins and minerals for a happy, healthy pet.

Another great product perfect for the holidays are the Vita Gravy Dog Food Toppers that are already sold in PETCO stores nationwide.
