Palatants & Flavours for Canadian Pet Treats

Baked dog biscuits, soft-moist treats, jerky, dental chews, freeze-dried meat treats, training treats and cat soft treats. Our palatants drive consumption and brand loyalty — palatability testing data available on request.

Each format calls for a different palatant strategy. Baked biscuits need heat-stable, Maillard-friendly notes that survive oven temperatures. Soft-moist treats live in a high-humectant matrix and need solvent-compatible carriers. Jerky and freeze-dried products benefit from concentrated meat distillates that read 'real protein' on the front of the nose.

Most-used profiles for Canadian pet treat brands: beef, chicken, liver, salmon, tuna, lamb, duck, turkey, peanut butter, bacon, cheese, sweet potato, pumpkin and apple. Cat-specific profiles lean heavier on fish, liver and yeast notes — cats and dogs do not share the same preference map and we formulate accordingly.

For training and high-value treats, we supply intensified versions designed to drive immediate consumption and reinforce reward behaviour. For dental chews, we use lower-volatility profiles that release across longer chew times.
