Pet Food Prototyping That Reflects Consumer & Pet Needs

Bringing a new pet food concept to life starts with prototyping. At FRL, our dog and cat food design prototyping services allow brands to explore new formats, flavors, and ingredient combinations on a small scale before committing to commercial production.

Using our expertise in veterinary nutrition and food processing, we prototype a wide variety of pet foods:

• Dry kibble, wet food, and pâtés
• Functional treats and chews
• Freeze-dried and semi-moist snacks

Each prototype is tested for palatability, texture, nutrient profile, and formulation stability—helping you make informed decisions and reduce development risk.
