Product development

Formulating for the animal, producing for industry

A good pet food formula has to meet two requirements at once: satisfy the animal’s nutritional needs, and remain manufacturable, batch after batch, on our extrusion line.

Method

Formulation built with you

Whether you start from detailed specifications or a range concept, our team turns your goals — species, life stage, positioning, raw material budget — into a realistic, coherent formula ready for industrial production. A formula is only approved once it has been produced and tested under our real manufacturing conditions, not just calculated on paper.

  • Formulas to customer specifications or through co-formulation
  • Raw materials chosen for their nutritional function, availability and regulatory compliance
  • Industrial feasibility validated before any production launch
  • Systematic check that every additive complies with the positive lists in force in Morocco
What a formula covers

Three balances to hold at the same time

Every formula must reconcile nutrition, industrial feasibility and range consistency.

Nutritional balance

Protein, fat, energy, fibre, vitamins and minerals are dosed according to the species, age and target positioning — entry-level, premium or specific needs.

Industrial feasibility

A formula must also behave well in extrusion: kibble structure, moisture, suitability for coating. Cooking and drying parameters are adjusted batch after batch until stable, with samples verified by an independent external laboratory.

Range consistency

Each new product builds on the raw materials and processes already mastered across our five existing ranges, to keep the range clear and production consistent.

Validation

A formula proven before it is locked

Formulating on paper is not enough: every formula is produced under real conditions, adjusted based on the results — moisture, texture, extrusion behaviour — and re-checked until the targets are met. This iteration between laboratory, production line and quality control is what separates a realistic formula from one that is only correct in theory.

Formulation catalogue

Five ranges, two protein families, a ready-to-use starting point

Alongside our ongoing development work, we have built a catalogue of dog food formulas tested and validated under real production conditions, organised into five ranges. Each one comes in two protein families — fish, or chicken / turkey / duck — to fit the positioning needs of each brand or distributor. This catalogue is a solid starting point: a brand can adopt a formula as is, or ask us for a tailored adjustment based on it. All our ranges share a common foundation: a prebiotic complex (xylo-oligosaccharides, fructo-oligosaccharides and mannan-oligosaccharides), brewer’s yeast and vitamin E.

Alpha range

Designed for dogs’ specific needs: urinary health, skin health, coat quality and joint comfort.

FishChicken / Turkey / Duck

Super Food range

A range featuring selected superfoods to boost the animal’s overall health.

FishChicken / Turkey / Duck

Grain-free range

A grain-free range formulated with potato and sweet potato as energy sources.

FishChicken / Turkey / Duck

Naturals range

A reduced-grain range enriched with herbs, vegetables and fruit.
