PEDIGREE STACKERZ™ Treats Satisfy Every Dog's Desire With Real Meat Goodness

NASHVILLE, Tenn., Aug. 13, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- PEDIGREE® Brand is getting tails wagging and lips licking with the release of their new PEDIGREE STACKERZ™ dog treat. Answering all dogs' cravings for real meat, PEDIGREE STACKERZ treats deliver real meat as the number one ingredient – and offers pet owners the perfect way to share a summer barbeque with their dog without sharing the meat on their grill. 

"It's not a secret that dogs love real meat as the first ingredient, especially when it comes to flavors like bacon and filet mignon," said Lisa Campbell, senior brand manager.  "So we created STACKERZ to shine a spotlight on what dogs love.  With three different flavor combinations, there's a STACKERZ treat for every craving."  

To satisfy the carnivore in every dog, each PEDIGREE STACKERZ treat contains real meat as the first ingredient and provides a combination of two succulent flavors designed to blow your dog's mind and satisfy his taste buds. Dogs of any size will be infatuated with PEDIGREE STACKERZ, as these delectable treats come in soft, breakable pieces. Choose—or let your dog choose—from three meaty flavor combinations:

• Filet Mignon & Bacon Flavor: Double the meaty flavor with this filet mignon and bacon combo for a doubly appetizing taste, in one tasty treat.
• Grilled Chicken & NY Strip Flavor: A perfect pairing of tastes, grilled chicken and beef is sure to satisfy every dog's deepest craving.
• Smoky Bacon & Cheddar Flavor: This smoky bacon and cheddar flavor is every dog's mouth-watering fantasy.

A Mmmmeaty Campaign
PEDIGREE STACKERZ dog treats are soooooo meaty that your dog's love for them will border on infatuation.
