Blending Oils and Meals for Custom Pet Food Solutions

Blending Oils and Meals for Custom Pet Food Solutions

As consumer demand grows for clean-label, functional, and nutrient-rich pet food, ingredient manufacturers are stepping up to meet the moment. At Laketown Mills, we specialize in blending high-quality seed oils and protein-rich meals—such as hemp, flax, sunflower, pumpkin, chia, and camelina—to develop custom formulations for pet food brands seeking to differentiate themselves in a crowded market.

The Role of Seed-Based Ingredients in Pet Nutrition

Seed oils and meals provide a powerful nutritional foundation for pet food. Cold-pressed oils like flax, hemp, and camelina are rich in omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids that support skin health, shiny coats, and anti-inflammatory benefits for pets. Protein-rich seed meals deliver essential amino acids and dietary fiber that aid in digestion, energy, and overall wellness.

These natural ingredients also support the clean-label movement—free from artificial additives, synthetic fillers, or overly processed components—making them ideal for pet food formulations aligned with health-conscious consumers.

Custom Blending Capabilities

Whether you're formulating for dogs, cats, poultry, or exotic species, our team works with your nutritional targets to create tailored blends of oils and meals that meet your functional and label requirements.

Our services include:
