Captain Zack launches ready to eat healthy home-style meals for dog pets to live longer and healthier

Chandigarh, February 8, 2022:  Captain Zack, established in 2017, started as a pet hygiene brand and transitioned into a holistic pet care brand that specialises in creating chemical free, pH balanced, safe products. They are the first brand in India with veterinary licensed products to ensure that the customers pets are happy and healthy. It’s a proud and exciting moment for the brand to foray into the pet nutrition category with the launch of their home-style ready to eat healthy meals. The brand has very thoughtfully curated the preservative and additives free pet nutrition products with the introduction of the ‘Very Veggie Paneer Pulao’ and the ‘Really Real Chicken Pulao’ meals to begin with. The ingredients in the meals range from pumpkin, peas, carrots, turmeric and the hero of them all – Ashwagandha, which reduces anxiety in the dogs, builds their immune system and ensures strong heart health.
The packaging solution used for the meals is retort packaging, in which cooked or semi-cooked food products are packed and subsequently subjected to high temperatures to reduce the bacterial content and create a shelf-stable packaged product that does not require preservatives or refrigeration. Once packed, the food can have a shelf life of 2 years unless the packet is opened. This technology will allow Captain Zack to make fresh food more convenient, as the only thing that is needed from them is to open and serve like one would do with any dry food.
Pallav Gupta, Canine and Feline Nutritionist, Head Nutritionist says “The healthy meals are fresh & easy to digest, made from only choicest fresh meat and veggies and not leftover portions. The ingredients contain immunity and long-term health building Ashwagandha herbs which adds to improved heart, vision & skin health of the dog and are complete nutritionally balanced foods. ‘’
Dr. Mohit Lalvani, Founder, Captain Zack says ‘’ We are delighted to launch our ready to eat home style cooked meals. What started as home-grown recipe meals in our kitchen for my dogs Zack and Antonio to offer them the right kind of nourishment, has now led us to category expansion in the pet nutrition segment. We have researched, studied and learned about what to feed dogs and how to curate the right nutritional balance. With the new food division, Captain Zack’s mission is to ensure customers get the option to provide meals combining taste, nutrition, and natural ingredients with all the love and care of a meal prepared at home to their pets. ‘’
Captain Zack wants to lengthen the relationships customers have with their pets with their wholesome ‘Ghar Ka Khana’ balanced meals which are easily digestible and enable dogs to live longer. The meals are prepared for human consumption also, as Dr. Mohit strongly believes there should be no distinction in caring for our furry loved ones needs and diet. If everyone is eating smarter in today’s health conscious climate, our dogs deserve a sustainable option as well.
Dr. Jamshyd Cooper, Head Vet and Small Animal Veterinarian & Dean of The University of Barkley, says ‘’The team at Captain Zack is committed to provide quality care for your pets with their range of products. The meals have got organic fiber rich ingredients and herbs that help boost immunity, promotes longevity and your pet’s overall wellbeing. It’s time to get your dog eating healthy, eating tasty and eating right for them to live longer, happier and better ’’
