Finished product brief

Start with kibble specification and formula direction.

Dry dog and cat food can share the production platform, while each SKU needs an agreed mold, cutting length, density target and coating plan.

ProductsDry dog food, dry cat food and approved pet food pellets.
Common inputsCorn, rice or wheat flour; meat, fish, bone or soybean meal; vitamins, minerals and oils.
ShapeRound, bone and other confirmed profiles using matching die openings.
FinishDrying, oil coating and flavoring selected for the recipe and target surface.

Quality boundary: palatability, nutrition, color, odor and final kibble performance require formula and process confirmation; they are not guaranteed by the mold alone.
