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.
