SAN DIEGO, April 12, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- "More energy while eating less!" This sounds like the latest diet fad, but this is possible for pets across the country when Innova®'s nutrient-dense pet food is introduced to all PETCO® and Unleashed by PETCO™ stores in May 2011. This holistic dog and cat food is up to 50 percent more energy dense than the poultry-based regular diets of leading U.S. pet store brands and pets will be drooling for their next helping of healthy food without any empty calories or "fillers."
The natural, holistic pet food contains high-quality protein, whole grains, real fruits and vegetables giving pet parents a healthy choice in dry food, canned food and treats for both dogs and cats. Innova ensures rich, delicious ingredients, while leaving out artificial colors and preservatives, meat by-products, fillers, wheat, corn and soy.
In conjunction with the new brand hitting the shelves, PETCO is encouraging customers to enter a fun-filled sweepstakes that will engage consumers in the new brand by asking them a variety of multiple choice questions about Innova. Customers who answer questions correctly will be entered for a chance to win the grand prize of: a $5,000 American Express Gift card, a $500 PETCO gift card and a 1-year supply of Innova Natural Pet Food.
Launched in 1993 by Natura Pet Products as the original holistic dog food, Innova, continues to be a leader in the natural pet food arena. As more pet parents express their concerns of what goes in to their pet's food, PETCO's decision to welcome Innova was an easy one, as they share the same commitment to healthy, nutritious pet food. With the recent launch of PETCO Certified Nutrition, Innova will be added to the "Natural Nutrition" selection, continuing both companies' commitments to superior dog and cat nutrition.
