Formulating pet food isn’t as simple as adding protein and vitamins and calling it balanced.

Without the right expertise, brands risk nutritional imbalances, regulatory issues, product recalls and long-term damage to their credibility.

A qualified animal nutritionist ensures your product is scientifically balanced, compliant and built to perform in the market.

Because in pet nutrition, almost right simply isn’t good enough. 🐾

Complete & balanced isn’t marketing language, it’s formulation science.

A truly complete and balanced pet food goes beyond protein percentages. It delivers the full spectrum of nutrients required to support pets at every life stage, from growth to senior years.

At Claws n Paws, we look at:
✔️ Macro-nutrient integrity
Defined amino acid profiles. Functional fats. Digestible carbohydrates.
✔️ Micro-nutrient precision
Optimal vitamin inclusion. Bioavailable minerals. Correct ratios, like calcium:phosphorus.
✔️ Digestibility & absorption
Because nutrients only matter if they’re properly utilised.
✔️ Life-stage targeting

Growth. Maintenance. Senior support. Each stage demands specific adjustments.

Complete & balanced is not a label.
It’s a formulation standard, built on science, not trends.

Dry skin is more common than you think 🤍

When your skin feels tight, irritated or uncomfortable, it’s often not sensitivity, it’s dehydration. And when your skin is dry, its barrier can’t protect you the way it should.

Dryness can be triggered by:
• Weather changes
• Dehydration
• Harsh cleansers
• Natural ageing
The key? Gentle, consistent support.

We love:
✨ Serra Restore by Lamelle
✨ Moisturiser Plus by Nimue
✨ Collagen Powder to support skin from within
Comforted skin doesn’t happen overnight — it starts with understanding, nourishing, and choosing the right homecare.

Your glow begins with care 💛

When nutrition is skipped, problems are simply postponed.

Poor formulation decisions lead to compliance failures, recalls, and long-term health consequences.

At CNP Pet Nutrition, we prevent risk before it reaches the market.

Prevention is cheaper than correction.

Trends fade. Science stays.

In pet food, formulation decisions aren’t temporary, they shape long-term health outcomes, regulatory compliance, and your brand’s reputation.

That’s why brands choose science-led partners.

Because real formulation isn’t guesswork. It’s:
✔️ Defensible
✔️ Repeatable
✔️ Scalable

It stands up to regulatory audits.
It supports market expansion.
It performs under long-term feeding conditions.

And most importantly, it protects both pets and profit margins.
Expertise costs less than reformulation, recalls, or reputational damage.

Formulation. Compliance. Testing.

This is what responsible pet nutrition really looks like behind the scenes.

At CNP, we don’t follow trends, we follow science. From defining precise nutritional targets, to building balanced formulations, aligning with global standards like AAFCO and FEDIAF, and validating through analytical testing, every step is intentional.

Because launching a pet food brand shouldn’t come with guesswork, reformulations, or regulatory surprises.

We help you get it right from the start so you can scale with confidence.

Trends fade. Mistakes cost millions.

Too many brands build products first and consult nutrition experts last, resulting in avoidable reformulations and regulatory setbacks.

When nutrition leads your development process, everything else becomes stronger, faster, and compliant from day one.

Not all ingredients are created equal.

Functional ingredients are selected for their proven biological role, while filler ingredients are often added for cost, texture, or volume — with little nutritional benefit.

For product developers, understanding this difference is critical. The right formulation prioritises bioavailable nutrients at scientifically effective levels to ensure real health outcomes, not just label claims.

At CNP Pet Nutrition, we believe purpose-driven formulation is the foundation of evidence-based companion animal nutrition.

Our Story

Claws 'n Paws is a pet sitting service that caters to dogs and cats of all ages and needs. We also offer dog training and behavioural sessions, natural medicine, organic dog treats, nutritional consultations and at home medical assistance. With years of experience looking after pets, the well being of them is incredibly important to me as well as giving the owners peace of mind while they are away. (Because let’s be honest - I am one of those super paranoid, helicopter mom, overboard and slightly nutty pet parents and I completely understand how scary being away from your beloved furkids actually is.) With basic certifications in animal nutrition and first aid as well as two and a half years working in the veterinary industry, Claws 'n Paws ensures that your furkids are well looked after so that you can thoroughly enjoy your vacation or business trip. I can administer medications and dress wounds as well as prepare foods for special dietary requirements. Nutritional consultations are also available on request. I have also been a volunteer, fundraiser and supporter of the Lucky Lucy Foundation, and other welfare organisations, since September 2015 - one week after I adopted my dog, Chester. I am also a foster mom to rescued animals who need some TLC to get them healthy and ready for adoption into the “furever” homes.

Being a pet-parent to special needs pets has also given me the understanding and appreciation for those furkids who require a little more focused attention.

Animals are my passion - understanding them, loving them and caring for them will always be my driving force in life. I look forward to meeting all of you and your furkids!
