Pet supplement development from idea to scale
See how we develop pet nutrition products.
Start with what you have
The more you can share, the more specific our first review will be.
Market & audience
- Target country and sales channel
- Cat, dog or both; life stage and target user
- Product positioning and intended daily serving
Product & format
- Required ingredients and ingredients to avoid
- Preferred dosage form, flavor and benchmark
- Packaging format and unit count
Commercial & documents
- First-order and annual volume estimate
- Target launch date
- Required tests, certifications and documents
Feasibility review
The first review is not a regulatory approval or final quotation. It identifies missing information, material risks and a realistic next step.
we assess
- Ingredient identity and documentation
- Target-market and claims flags
- Formula load and process compatibility
- Palatability and sensory risks
- Stability and packaging risks
- Equipment and scale-up fit
- Testing and document expectations
- Commercial constraints and material minimums
Prototyping & palatability
Prototype rounds should answer defined questions:
Does the pet accept the flavor?
Is the texture right?
Can the active load be manufactured?
Does the pack dispense cleanly?
Which parameters need stability verification?
Species, ingredient off-notes, texture, serving method and storage all influence whether a product fits a daily routine — so they are built into the plan from the start:
1. Define the target species, life stage and use occasion.
2. Identify bitter, metallic, marine, herbal or fermented off-notes.
3. Select a flavor direction and compatible dosage-form base.
4. Adjust texture, mouthfeel, size and serving method.
5. Test prototypes using an agreed method and sample set.
6. Confirm that packaging and shelf life do not undermine acceptance.
Chonyan does not use unsupported claims such as "90% of pets love it" or "guaranteed acceptance."
Specification freeze
The goal is not one impressive sample; it is a specification that can be manufactured and supplied consistently.
- Approved formula and ingredient specifications
- Piece, fill or serving weight
- Sensory and physical criteria
- Microbiological and chemical criteria
- Packaging components and artwork version
- Sampling and release plan
- Storage and shelf-life basis
- Required batch and export documents
