Hospitality trade urged to stock up on quality meals for pets

 

The Hug Pet Food Company is launching a campaign to encourage restaurants and hotels to offer meals for their canine guests every bit as tasty, nutritious and premium as the food on their menus.

 

HugMyDog produces a range of ready meals for dogs, which can be cooked straight from the freezer in its own 100% sustainable packaging. 

 

The meals are made from only the best cuts of human grade British meat (no bones or offal) with organic vegetables and fruit (no grains, legumes or fillers) plus a sprinkling of essential vitamins, minerals and herbs. 

 

The range includes Beef with Sweet Potato, Lamb with Mint, Chicken with Carrots and Venison with Blackberries. 

 

Sara Pearson, co-founder of Hug, said: “We applaud the hospitality industry who in recent times have opened its doors to dogs. 

 

“During the pandemic 3 million more dogs and cats came into our homes. These pets have become intrinsic in the lives of their owners and it is not surprising they don’t want to exclude them from outings for meals or overnight stays.   

 

“But simply providing a bowl of water and maybe a treat is not enough. HugMyDog is the ideal solution for the hospitality trade as the meals are safe to be store alongside human food and can be readily available for serving in a matter of minutes direct from the freezer via the microwave.”

 

“We want to encourage the hospitality industry to add a section on their menus offering pet meals.  Afterall you would not invite or encourage someone into your home and not offer them food and drink.”

 

Pet owners increasingly represent a powerful and valuable consumer sector as recognised by the number of shops that now welcome dogs into their retail space. The hospitality industry will be missing out if it does not see dogs and their owners as a source of goodwill and profit. 

 

The trade price for HugMyDog ready meals 300g is £2.15. The Hug Pet Food Company can also supply liveried freezers.
