Animal Food Product Development Services – Food Research Lab

As the animal nutrition industry evolves, today’s consumers expect more—whether it’s clean-label dog treats, performance-boosting livestock feed, or digestible aquaculture products. At Food Research Lab (FRL), we offer comprehensive animal food product development services tailored to meet the needs of pets, farm animals, and aquatic species. Our goal? To help brands create science-backed, regulation-ready products that deliver real nutritional value and stand out in a competitive market.

From innovative formulations to pilot production, FRL supports your journey from concept to commercial success.

Smart Prototyping for Pet Nutrition

Turning a new pet food idea into a viable product starts with prototyping. Our dog and cat food design prototyping services help brands explore new formats, ingredients, and textures—before scaling up.

We specialize in creating:

• Dry kibble, wet food, and pâtés
• Functional treats, chews, and sticks
• Freeze-dried or semi-moist snack products

Each prototype is evaluated for palatability, nutritional content, shelf stability, and species-specific preferences. This allows you to refine your idea, minimize risk, and speed up development timelines.

Formulations Backed by Veterinary Science

Our expert team blends food technology with veterinary science to create balanced, functional pet food formulations. Whether you're designing for general wellness or specific health concerns, we tailor recipes for your target audience—both pets and their owners.

We offer:

• Optimal protein, fat, and carbohydrate ratios
• Hypoallergenic and grain-free solutions
• Diets enriched with omega-3s, probiotics, and joint-support ingredients
• Age-specific formulations for puppies, kittens, and seniors
• Additive-free, clean-label pet food development
