NASHVILLE, TENN. — REÁL MESA™, a pet food brand that aims to bring authentic Mediterranean foods to pet bowls, recently announced their first foray into brick-and-mortar retail. The brand’s pet food products are now available at Blain’s Farm & Fleet locations throughout the Midwest.
REÁL MESA debuted in September 2023 under the guidance of Chef José Andrés, who aims to “change the way dogs experience food” through Mediterranean-inspired formulas. The brand then launched its products in the direct-to-consumer (DTC) market in October, which has since become popular, according to the company.
“America’s pets, you deserve good food too,” Andrés said. “Dogs give us so much love. It’s only fair that we give them the best food we can with the quality ingredients and care we would give anyone in our family.”
With its brick-and-mortar retail launch, REÁL MESA is expanding its reach into the family-owned retail chain, giving pet parents in Illinois, Iowa, Michigan and Wisconsin access to its products .
REÁL MESA’s current offerings include complete-and-balanced meals and treats for dogs, all of which consist of real meat and a proprietary blend of fruits, vegetables and herbs. Complete and balanced recipes include Mediterranean Chicken & Rice Entrée, Wild Caught Salmon Feast, Lamb & Tomato Stew, and Puppy Chicken & Vegetable Asado. According to the brand, its foods and treats are suitable for dogs of all life stages.
All REÁL MESA products are made in the United States. Complete and balanced meals are available in 4.5-, 10-, 18- and 26-lb bags.
