Formula development reference
Use this senior-cat reference to prepare a product-specific development brief. Define the intended cat population, nutritional role, ingredient preferences and kibble requirements with the linked Senior Cat Product. Final ingredient inclusion, nutrient values, feeding information and label wording are confirmed for the selected market. This qualitative reference does not disclose a commercial recipe.
Use this direction to start a product brief. Ingredient choices, nutrient specifications and label claims require project review before a commercial formula is approved.

List the preferred declared sources, ingredient exclusions and any allowed alternatives. Review raw-material specifications, relevant supplier information and traceability needs together. A shorter ingredient list or a named source does not by itself establish performance or suitability for a diagnosed condition.
Discuss chicken, fish, tuna, salmon or seafood flavour directions alongside the senior-cat kibble brief. Identify proposed size, shape, texture and the intended sample comparison. Keep the declared ingredients and sample requirements tied to the same formulation version.
Explain how the proposed senior SKU differs from your existing adult product and which requirements are essential to the brand. Review the proposed pack statements with the actual formulation and available evidence. Agree which ingredient or process changes require notification, a revised sample or renewed approval before a repeat order.
Confirm the applicable nutrition basis for the intended daily-food role and destination market, together with the brand's senior-age positioning and feeding information. Do not assume that the senior name establishes a distinct universal nutrient profile or the same formula adjustment for every cat. Discuss cat-specific nutrient questions and feeding information with the final product review. Keep indoor, hairball or skin-and-coat positioning as separate requirements when they are part of the same brief.
Identify the nutrient and finished-product indicators required for the selected product. Discuss protein, fat, fibre, ash, moisture and required microbiological items with their reporting basis and test-document needs. Include cat-specific nutrient questions in the review, without assuming analytical values from an unrelated adult-cat reference.
Agree the physical sample criteria, any feeding-acceptance evaluation and the information needed to support the exact proposed statements. Keep informal observations separate from broader evidence claims. Review the final product, label, packaging and storage information together before approving the commercial specification; shelf-life support relates to the selected product-and-pack combination.
