Dr. Clauder’s has joined forces with protein pioneer Calysta to
launch the world’s first dog treats made with FeedKind® Pet
protein, a revolutionary new pet food ingredient.
Announced at the world’s leading pet trade fair, Interzoo, the
groundbreaking air-dried treat presented by Dr. Clauder’s makes the
most of Calysta’s nutritionally rich protein, which is produced by
natural fermentation – making it a perfect non-GMO ingredient that
meets market demands for nutritional quality, palatability, and
health for pets.
After its debut at Interzoo, the Dr. Clauder Trainee snack
cultivated protein treat featuring FeedKind Pet, will be made
available for sale in Europe.
FeedKind Pet protein is a fermented ingredient that is nutrient
dense, has a complete amino acid profile for dogs, and has
postbiotic properties that helps to maintain a healthy gut in
animals. Additionally, FeedKind Pet is a vegan protein source.
Herman Sloot, vice president commercial development at
Calysta said: “Dog owners have high expectations for
their pet’s food and are increasingly conscious about the source,
quality, and safety of the ingredients used.
“For the first time, Europe’s pet food sector has the option to
choose a high-quality source of protein that is nutritious and kind
to the environment. Calysta is now producing at significant scale,
and FeedKind Pet is approved for use in pet foods in the EU. We are
excited Dr. Clauder’s is introducing a snack featuring FeedKind Pet
protein as we set a new standard for dog treats – one that
prioritises both taste and health, while looking after our
planet.”
Alexander Gerards, Managing partner at Dr. Clauder’s
solutions for pets said: ‘’Novel proteins produced with respect
for nature, which are vegetarian, nutritious and tasty are well
sought after. We are happy that with FeedKind Pet we were able to
develop a dog treat that delivers just that: vegetarian, complete
amino acid profile and delicious. Dr. Clauder´s Trainee Snack
cultivated proteins is a true innovation meeting market
demand.”
Alan Shaw, co-founder and CEO of Calysta said: “Pet
populations worldwide are rising and there is little indication it
will slow any time soon. FeedKind Pet protein is a win-win for both
the pet sector and the consumer, offering optimal benefits for
pets, owners, and the planet. The first commercial launch of a
petfood product in Europe containing FeedKind Pet is an exciting
milestone for Calysta.”
