OUR PROCESS
We pursue partnerships with customers who prefer high quality pet products that are custom formulated produced to the highest standards of food quality and safety. Our processes start with understanding our customers’ goals and objectives for their business, products, and brands. Whether we are matching the specifications of an existing product or developing new custom formulas, we strive to deliver superior customer service. Above all, the health and well-being of dogs and cats is what matters most, and we will never agree to produce a formula that we believe not to be nutritionally appropriate for a dog or cat.
Formulas
At Breeder’s Choice, our team of experienced nutritionists and food scientists can customize formulas to fit your needs. Whether you have specific requirements or are just looking for our best-fitting off-the-shelf formulas, we’ll work with you to make your product with superior speed to market. Formulations can be a meat-first, vegetarian, grain-free, limited ingredient, meal-based, or dried meats. We frequently work with unique, customer-specific ingredients that deliver a meaningful point of difference for the products.
R&D Team
With numerous years in the pet food industry, our dedicated R&D team can help provide technical guidance on the formulation, quality testing, and navigating regulatory requirements. Provided the products are commercialized and minimum quantities are produced, these services are complimentary for our partners.
Employee Safety
Our first priority is health and safety of the pets feeding foods we produce. Safety isn’t just a buzz word; it is part of our culture. Safety starts the moment team members enter our plant, the methods and process we follow to manufacture products. In addition to our food safety and quality programs, Breeder’s Choice is highly focused on employee safety. To achieve this, we train on more than 50 different topics ranging from Lock Out Tag Out (LOTO) to ergonomics. We focus on Behavior-Based Safety to realize our safety goals. We have 16 trained emergency responders on site that are trained in First Aid, CPR, and AED application. Having this safety mindset allows us to work both safe efficiently.
