About the Brand
DawgieBowl is a well-known healthy pet food brand, operational since 2016. The brand has developed a reputation for having the most compelling, functional, consistent, and cost-effective products in the pet food market.
Today, DawgieBowl delivers nutritionally potent yet convenient feeding in a box to pet households across the country.
Background: The Quest for an Exceptional Product
The DawgieBowl team had a clear vision of what they wanted. This clarity made the process of recipe formulation and product development straightforward.
The priority was to create products that met the daily nutritional needs of dogs and cats naturally and safely. The product had to be better for the pets than anything existing on the shelves. Customer convenience was not to be compromised.
Over multiple conversations, we were able to establish DawgieBowl’s requirements.
1. Balanced Nutrition & Palatability
Product performance took precedence over all else. The recipes were to be 100% natural, have the highest quality ingredients, and be balanced and complete nutritionally. We needed variations based on meat type and pet species.
We also had to ensure the product would be highly palatable, naturally.
2. Intuitive Customer Experience
For easy adoption of the product in pet households, convenient serving was a must. We set the ideal preparation time to be under 5 minutes.
DawgieBowl also wanted to offer its customers comfortable storage, even in vegetarian households, and ease of traveling with pet food. Hence, we needed a modest shelf-life with no added synthetic preservatives.
3. Dynamic Order Volumes
The subscription model of DawgieBowl’s service allowed scope for forecasting demand. However, the business noted a seasonal rise in demand during some periods of the year. This fluctuation brought about the need for flexibility in order volumes.
4. Manufacturing Consistency & Timeliness
DawgieBowl needed a long-term manufacturing partner that could assure them of consistent product quality. The subscription model made uniformity from batch to batch absolutely essential. Any variation in product or delay in deliveries could jeopardize the brand.
They needed a pet food manufacturer that could assure consistent and punctual production.
The alignment of Innomalous & DawgieBowl’s value systems also meant a high focus on carrying out all processes as sustainably as possible. Local sourcing, energy optimization, and waste management were non-negotiable.
Strategy and Solutions: Bringing Back The Food In Pet Food
After analyzing DawgieBowl’s needs thoroughly, our formulation teams set out to develop recipes and discover novel food processing techniques like cold pressing and vacuum drying.
Upon shortlisting, we tested the recipes for nutritional makeup, shelf-life, and palatability.
These details uncomplicated the decision-making process for the DawgieBowl team.
Products That Surpassed All Expectations
Innomalous developed a total of 12 recipes for DawgieBowl. This assortment included recipes for two species, dogs and cats, two meat types, and three life stages.
All recipes were formulated with wholesome ingredients measured to perfection.
Vacuum-drying brought a six months shelf life to the product without any preservatives. The process maintained the nutritional efficiency of the ingredients and allowed for room-temperature storage.
We locked the total preparation to serving time at under 4 minutes with a simple ‘portion, hydrate, rest, and serve’ process.
The lightweight nature of the product resulted in low logistical costs and travel-friendliness for customers.
Infallible Manufacturing Backbone
When businesses rely on us for 100% of their product manufacturing, we have a lot riding on our shoulders as pet food manufacturers. But we take this responsibility with complete ownership and excitement.
We were also confident about accommodating the brand’s growing need for scale comfortably due to our enterprise-grade production capabilities.
DawgieBowl regularly leverages other add-on services from Innomalous, such as laboratory testing and product packaging. The team continues to work with us on developing new and effective products for the future.
