Dr. Clauder’s Launches New Dog Snacks Featuring FeedKind® by Calysta at Interzoo 2024

Nuremberg, Germany – Dr. Clauder’s has unveiled its latest innovation in the pet food industry with the launch of Trainee dog snacks formulated with the revolutionary fermented protein ingredient, FeedKind® by Calysta. The announcement was made at Interzoo 2024, a premier pet industry trade show held in Nuremberg from May 7 to 10.

This exciting development comes on the heels of Calysta’s recent achievement of Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS) status for FeedKind in the United States, paving the way for collaborations with American pet food and aquaculture producers.

Alan Shaw, co-founder and CEO of Calysta, expressed his enthusiasm for the launch, stating, “Pet populations worldwide are on the rise, and there is no sign of slowing down. FeedKind Pet protein offers a sustainable solution that benefits pets, owners, and the planet. The introduction of Dr. Clauder’s new dog treats containing FeedKind Pet marks a significant milestone for Calysta.”

FeedKind Pet is produced through natural fermentation, making it a vegan protein source that delivers essential nutrients for dogs without the need for animal slaughter. The ingredient is non-GMO and highly palatable, making it an ideal choice for pet owners looking for a sustainable and nutritious option for their furry companions.

Alexander Gerards, managing partner at Dr. Clauder’s, highlighted the innovative nature of the product, stating, “Novel proteins that are vegetarian, nutritious, and delicious are in high demand. We are proud to offer a dog treat that meets these criteria with FeedKind Pet, providing a complete amino acid profile and exceptional taste.”

In addition to its nutritional benefits, FeedKind also offers sustainability advantages. The fermentation process used to create the ingredient requires minimal water and no agricultural land, resulting in a low carbon footprint.

Herman Sloot, vice president of commercial development for Calysta, emphasized the importance of conscious pet food choices, stating, “Dog owners are increasingly mindful of the ingredients in their pet’s food. With FeedKind Pet, we are offering a high-quality protein source that is both nutritious and environmentally friendly. We are excited to see Dr. Clauder’s incorporate FeedKind Pet into their products, setting a new standard for dog treats.”

Calysta is currently producing FeedKind Pet at full commercial scale and is actively seeking opportunities to incorporate the meat-free protein into more pet food and treat formulations. The launch of Dr. Clauder’s Trainee dog snacks marks a significant step forward in the pet food industry, offering a sustainable and nutritious option for pet owners worldwide.
