Football season is here, and with it comes tailgating, viewing parties, and other great snack opportunities, and now dogs can be part of the fun.

According to a release from Cesar, the dog food brand came up with a creative way to include canines in Sunday football snack sessions.

Cesar teamed up with Food Network star Jeff Mauro — and his pups Pinot G and JoJo — to create the Match Up Menu — a collection of pet-friendly game day nibbles.

One of the first offerings from the Match Up Menu project is a dog-approved version of the Super Bowl party classic: a layered party dip. The Cesar 7-Layer Dip is a doggy dish created by layering Cesar Simply Crafted dog food, Cesar dry dog food, and Cesar soft dog treats.

The recipe for the Cesar 7-Layer dip can be found on the brand's website, along with other recipes for pet-friendly game day snacks like Tail-Wagging Wings and Nachos Pupreme.

"Food brings people together, and this football season, the spread is not complete until your dog has something to dine on too," Mauro shared in a statement about the Match Up Menu. "I love Chicago-style Italian Beef on game day, and the Cesar brand has inspired me to treat Pinot G and JoJo to flavor combinations that match football food favorites, giving them the touchdown experience they deserve and the high-quality ingredients and flavors they crave."

Pups that prefer catering to cooking can try Cesar's Match Up Menu on October 9 at Yee-Haw Brewing Co. in Nashville, Tennessee. The pet-friendly viewing party for the Tennessee Titans — a partner of Cesar's parent company Mars Petcare — will include popular football food for humans and Cesar's snack creations for dogs.
