Your project requirements

Is this the right starting point?

Start with your intended adult dog range: breed size, sales channel, brand positioning and pack sizes. Use these choices to scope a practical development brief and project quotation.

Your project requirements

Define your formula direction

Choose a value, mainstream, premium-style or working-dog direction for discussion. Define the adult dog audience and ingredient preferences alongside the flavour and pack plan. Active or working positioning requires its own agreed specification and supporting label review.

Your project requirements

Plan sample evaluation

Review the sample against the intended breed-size kibble, appearance, odour and handling. Identify who will approve the sample and how feedback will be recorded before developing packaging.

Your project requirements

Agree on quality checks

The owner-confirmed process includes raw material inspection, weighing and mixing control, kibble forming, drying and moisture control, coating uniformity, packaging and weight inspection, finished-product testing, retained samples and batch traceability. Agree on the product specification and required test documents for the order.
