Cans · pouches · wet nutrition

Choose the wet-food format that fits the product and the shelf.

Build daily nutrition or complementary wet pet food across cans and pouches, with texture, formulation, protein and pack decisions shaped around the intended market.

Canned formats

From complete meals to high-palatability snacks.

Daily nutrition cans

German-style chunks or shredded meat in broth with recipes developed for the intended nutritional role.

Snack cans

Chunk-in-broth, shredded meat-in-broth and mousse formats for complementary feeding and hydration occasions.

Sauce pouches

Smooth or chunky daily nutrition and snack pouches with configurable protein, texture and nutritional profile.

Pack sizes

Common can and pouch sizes range from single-serve to larger formats; final fill weights depend on product and line fit.

Commercial fit

Cans and pouches solve different launch problems.

Cans can signal substance and support a broad texture range. Pouches offer portion convenience, lower pack weight and strong visibility for feeding occasions such as toppers, hydration and treats. The right choice depends on margin, shelf, logistics and customer behavior.

Common questions

Before selecting the pack.

Can meat content and texture be changed?

Yes, within the constraints of processing, recipe stability, nutrition, palatability and the selected production line.

Can the product target cats or dogs?

Both are possible. Species, life stage and whether the product is complete or complementary must be defined in the brief.

Which standards apply?

The final formulation and label must be reviewed for the intended market. AAFCO and FEDIAF are nutritional frameworks, not factory certifications.
