What we offer our pets has a lot of embedded technology
The development of new products for the pet food market — food and snacks — has never been closer to cutting-edge technologies. In other words, in addition to improving production processes, there is an intense search for new raw materials and product compositions with a focus on healthy eating.
Among so many trends, such as the use of fibers, and raw insect proteins as a nutritional base, the use of biotechnology has been attracting market attention. Recently, a sauce for dogs and cats has been recognized by the global pet food industry due to the disruptive use of prebiotics and amino acids, which optimize the absorption of nutrients.
The solution, which heavily reduces the presence of calories and fat, was awarded at the Pet Innovation Awards 2022, in the Cat Vitamin/Supplement of the Year category. YummyRade, from Tonisity International Limited, is indicated for dogs and cats and, unlike other products of the genre, can be offered to pets without concern for digestive problems or weight gain.
This type of food represents an evolution for the breeders, who have reported exceptional results for a delicate task: helping dogs and kittens wean for solid foods without harming health or excessive weight gain.
Veterinarians warn of the potential consequences of the abuse of snacks and baits with excess calories and fat. At this point, experts also argue, the use of raw feed or food still lacks more comprehensive studies on the long-term consequences for animal health.
The result of YummyRade stems from Tonisity’s effort to find innovative ways to help keep pets healthy, safe, and happy. The company’s line of prebiotics is exclusive, which is a benefit attained only by companies that follow the path of disruption: master a certain technology before the others.
As a result, it calls for a recognition of the market. This award is the second YummyRade has received, after being enshrined in the Pet Industry Federation 2021. Tonisity is an animal health and nutrition company based in Ireland and holds a patent for its technology in food for animal health and nutrition.
YummyRade and the other products of the company have incorporated biotechnology to provide physiological changes in favor of good intestinal health of young animals, leading to better performance throughout life.
Have you ever imagined that so much research and development is available to our beloved pets?
