As pet owners become more attuned to health and wellness, the demand for functional pet foods is rising.
This session explores how ingredients like microbiome modulators, botanicals, and targeted vitamins are being used to support immunity, digestion, cognition, and overall vitality in pets.
We’ll look at the science behind these ingredients and the opportunities they present for innovation in formulation and product development.
