Pet food company wants bosses to eat the firm's food

Outgoing Mars chief executive Grant Reid insists that bosses at the firm should regularly try tinned dog food before it leaves the factory so it is good enough for their pet to eat.

Reid revealed that he has tucked into plenty of canine food during his 34 years with Mars, which produces a wide variety of dog treats.

He said: "You know, if it's not good enough for me then why would it be good enough for your pet?"

Reid explained that he has tried brands such as Iams and Pedigree during his time with the company and explained that his favourite type of dog food is Cesar, which is aimed at smaller dogs.

Cesar's website says its "gourmet" dog food is designed to "satisfy even the pickiest eaters".
