THE CESAR® BRAND CREATES A GAME DAY SPREAD FOR DOGS, INSPIRED BY FAN-FAVORITE FLAVORS

Food Network host and Chef, Jeff Mauro, Kicks Off Football Season with the CESAR 7-Layer

FRANKLIN, Tenn., Sept. 13, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Game days are all about bonding with friends over football and food – and, alongside your furry best friend. This fall, the CESAR® brand has cooked up the ultimate way for pet parents and their dogs to enjoy game day fun and flavors together, by creating a pup-perfect menu inspired by fan-favorite foods.

The "Match Up" Menu serves up dog-friendly game day nibbles featuring popular CESAR Canine Cuisine meals mixed together for a home-gating feast, leading with the first-ever CESAR 7-Layer, a dish stacking together CESAR® SIMPLY CRAFTED™ Beef, Chicken, Purple Potatoes, Peas & Carrots, CESAR® Filet Mignon Flavor & Spring Vegetables Garnish Dry Dog Food and CESAR® SOFTIES™ Medley Trio Treats. The CESAR brand offers a wide range of bold recipes in a variety of textures, making it easy to mix and match meals to satisfy even the pickiest of eaters. The full menu, found on CESAR.com, features wet and dry dog food product combos to create flavors like Tail-Wagging Wings, Nachos Pupreme and more for your pup to enjoy while you watch your favorite team play together.* 

To unveil these new go-to game day recipes for your bestie, the CESAR brand teamed up with Food Network host, chef and author, Jeff Mauro, and his pups Pinot G and JoJo, to help fans prep for a joyful game day side-by-side.

"Food brings people together, and this football season, the spread is not complete until your dog has something to dine on too," said Mauro. "I love Chicago-style Italian Beef on game day, and the CESAR brand has inspired me to treat Pinot G and JoJo to flavor combinations that match football food favorites, giving them the touchdown experience they deserve, and the high-quality ingredients and flavors they crave."

Through Mars Petcare's, the CESAR brand's parent company, partnership with the Tennessee Titans, fans will have the chance to experience the "Match Up" Menu alongside their furry best friend at the first-ever pet-friendly watch party at Yee-Haw Brewing Co. in Nashville, Tennessee on October 9. Football legend, dog dad and cupcake entrepreneur, Brian Orakpo, will co-host the festivities, giving pet parents and their dogs a game day to remember.    

"Because CESAR Canine Cuisine is designed with shared moments in mind, we wanted to offer new ways for pet parents to connect with their pups this football season through our delicious-for-dogs game day creations," said Jean-Paul Jansen, Vice President of Marketing for Mars Petcare North America. "A game of catch in the yard, piling up on the couch to root for your team, and now, sharing in your game day spread together, can help foster more mutual joy found in friendship between people and their pets."
