R&D & QUALITY

Because more good years together deserve serious science.

Pets do not grow old overnight. We study the quiet changes that shape mobility, appetite, curiosity and daily comfort through functional nutrition research, scientific formulation and disciplined quality standards.

PROCESS / R&D / QUALITY

Real support for healthy longevity begins in the details.

Why choose a particular ingredient? How do we keep a formula stable? And how can it fit into everyday life? Every decision should stand up to scrutiny.

01

Choose every ingredient for a reason

We examine source, purity, stability and scientific rationale. Not because an ingredient is fashionable, but because it is worth studying seriously.

02

Build formulas to be tested

Ingredient combinations, intended users, directions and long-term stability belong to one research logic and must be examined together.

03

Let evidence set the promise

We do not overstate research or blur its stage. The evidence, limits and progress we can share will be presented honestly.

PATENT APPLICATION: A functional food composition based on ergothioneine and undenatured type II collagen peptides for senior pets and pets recovering from surgery, and its application
APPLICATION PUBLICATION · CN121445001A

FORMULATION RESEARCH

Exploring better-founded nutrition for healthy aging.

Our research centers on ergothioneine and undenatured type II collagen peptides, alongside prebiotics, postbiotics and vitamins C and E. We study how these nutrients may work together to support antioxidant defenses, gut health, joints and the differing needs of dogs and cats. This work has formed the basis of a published invention patent application.

FROM FORMULA TO EVERYDAY

A functional treat worth giving every day should come with a clear, consistent and traceable production process.

From ingredient intake through forming, drying, inspection, packing and dispatch, key steps are managed through defined process requirements and batch records. All images below were taken in partner manufacturing facilities, so you can see the process for yourself.

01

PREPARATION

Material preparation and controlled zones

Production areas are organized around materials and process steps, with attention to personnel protection, work surfaces, utensils and environmental hygiene before ingredients move forward.

02

CONTROLLED DRYING

Keep critical parameters under control

Forming and drying are not simple handling steps. Time, temperature and product condition are managed against process requirements and supported by traceable production records.

03

INSPECTION & PACKING

Check the details that can be seen

Before packing, teams examine product integrity, foreign-material controls and handling hygiene, then check package and seal condition for consistent delivery to pet families.

RELEASE & TRACEABILITY

Separate storage, connected batch records

Finished goods are stored by area and batch. Production, inspection, storage and dispatch records preserve the information needed for release decisions and traceability.

QUALITY MANAGEMENT

Quality built into every stage of production.

From people and production environments to ingredient checks, process records, batch testing and release, we focus on the controls that support product consistency, safety and traceability.

01

Production environment

Personnel hygiene, area cleanliness, and equipment and utensil status are checked against requirements.

02

Ingredients and process

Ingredient information is verified and critical process conditions are recorded.

03

Batches and traceability

Batch records connect production, testing, storage and dispatch information.

04

Testing and release

Product standards and batch test results inform whether finished goods can be released.

Serious research. Transparent progress.

We will continue to share research progress, manufacturing processes and product information. Product functions, intended users and directions will follow final labels and the requirements of each market.
