Frequently Asked B2B Formulation & OEM Questions
Q1: How does cold extrusion prevent dog soft chews from crumbling or molding?
Instead of gelatinizing starch with high heat and water (which later retrogrades and turns hard or breeds mold), cold extrusion binds micronized botanicals and meats with stabilized plant glycerin, lecithin, and MCT lipids at ≤42°C, locking water activity between 0.52 and 0.58.
Q2: Can Aimo Pet manufacture custom chew shapes and multi-functional formulas?
Yes. We stock heart, bone, cylinder, and star extrusion dies across 12 turnkey formulas (Hip & Joint, Allergy & Immune, 8-in-1 / 15-in-1 Multivitamin, Calming, Probiotic, Anal Gland, Coprophagia, Cranberry Bladder) at 1,500 jars MOQ.
