Science + Heart for Full-Cycle Product Development

We help brands create meaningful, compliant, and performance-driven nutrition products — combining evidence-based formulation, structured research, real-world testing, and transparent communication.

Project Discovery & Strategy

Build a scientifically grounded foundation for your product.

We begin by clarifying your objectives, target species, nutritional purpose, desired claims, and regulatory pathway. This stage includes reviewing ingredient constraints, identifying client goals, conducting literature reviews, and analyzing the competitive landscape.

You receive:

  • Defined project direction
  • Market + literature insights
  • Regulatory alignment
  • Clear strategic roadmap

Manufacturer Outreach & Production Planning

Connect with the right partners from the start.

We identify suitable manufacturing or contract lab partners, assist with communications, advise on batch sizes, outline production options, and support the contracting process.

You receive:

  • Manufacturer recommendations
  • Production feasibility guidance
  • Coordination support

Formula Development

Evidence-based formulation shaped by nutrition science.

We develop complete, compliant formulations for dry, wet, and supplements products using digestive physiology, feed chemistry, nutrient bioavailability, and research-driven principles.

You receive:

  • Full, compliant formulas
  • Species-appropriate nutritional targets
  • Scientific rationale behind formulations

Prototype Development & Manufacturing Coordination

From formula to physical prototype, managed seamlessly.

We coordinate prototype production through partner labs or Animistic’s in-house capabilities. This includes production scheduling, lab technician support, and ingredient procurement for testing phases.

You receive:

  • Coordinated prototype batches
  • Ingredient sourcing support
  • Structured production timelines

Palatability & Consumer Testing

Real-world feedback for real-world performance.

We conduct community-based testing, such as 6 animals Ă— 3 days per product, to evaluate product acceptance and gather practical insights to guide refinements.

You receive:

  • Consumer and animal acceptance data
  • Feedback for optimization

Research, Analytics & Data Evaluation

Understand your product through scientific analysis.

We perform full AAFCO nutrient panels — including moisture, protein, fat, fiber, ash, vitamins, and minerals — along with structured research, data collection, and technical interpretation.

You receive:

  • Complete AAFCO analytics
  • Raw data + technical summaries
  • Insights for formulation refinement

Formula Revisions & Optimization

Improve performance through targeted refinement.

Using testing feedback and analytics, we adjust formulations, nutrient targets, and ingredient selections to enhance palatability, function, and compliance.

You receive:

  • Updated formulas
  • Improved nutritional profiles
  • Optimization recommendations

Label Review & Regulatory Compliance

Accurate, compliant labels — ready for packaging.

We evaluate ingredient decks, nutrient statements, product claims, feeding guidelines, and packaging text to ensure alignment with AAFCO, FDA, and state-level regulatory standards.

You receive:

  • Compliance-ready label recommendations
  • Reviewed claims + statements
  • Regulatory risk mitigation

Technical Marketing Support

Communicating science in an accessible, consumer-friendly way.

We create science-backed launch materials — such as blogs and short-form educational reels — to help position your product with clarity, accuracy, and empathy.

You receive:

  • Technical blog content
  • Educational reel scripts or guidelines
  • Science-to-consumer translation

OPTIONAL ADD-ON SERVICES

Ingredient Sourcing

ind the right functional or value-added ingredients.

We identify ingredient options aligned with your claims and formulation goals, connect with suppliers, and provide multiple quotes where available.

You receive:

  • Ingredient recommendations
  • Supplier contacts + quotes

Internal Prototype Testing

Test earlier. Iterate faster.

Using Animistic’s internal lab resources and partner networks, we conduct early-stage prototype evaluations.
(Note: external third-party fees excluded.)

You receive:

  • Preliminary performance insights
  • Faster development cycles
