Choose Plasma to elevate your health focused dry, treat and supplement products. Plasma functional proteins support immunity, gut health and cognition while our label friendly Natural Flavors help amp up palatability.
Pet owners have become savvy in identifying ingredients that are beneficial for their pets. You need ingredients that are both functional and label friendly. Plasma offers both.
Wet
In wet, moist and semi-moist applications, plasma can be used for traditional functional benefits by providing superior gelling, emulsification and water holding capacity. It makes firmer chunks with fewer crumbs, better texture and a gravy pets love.
Dry
In dry applications, plasma offers the opportunity for a different kind of functionality – supporting immune health. More than 600 published journal articles show the power of plasma and the positive impact it has on the overall well-being of animals. Plasma can be added as a powerful and unique option in today’s specialty diets.
