Lidl has unified its pet range under a single brand called Max & Mila's World. This new identity covers pet food, hygiene products, accessories, and toys across three specific quality segments.
Why it matters
The brand consolidation aims to improve in-store navigation for pet owners while simplifying product selection. By organizing items into clear tiers, the company intends to strengthen consumer trust in its pet care offerings.
The new range features three quality tiers: Basic, Advanced Care, and Gourmet. All products are free from artificial colours and added sugar, while meeting 100 per cent of European Pet Food Industry Federation nutritional specifications.
