Hello and welcome! I’m Dr. Usman Ali (DVM, PhD Animal Nutrition), an Assistant Professor and Pet Nutrition Scientist specializing in dog and cat food, treats, and nutraceutical supplements. My primary expertise is in pet food formulation and technical evaluation, helping brands and manufacturers develop and validate products that are nutritionally balanced, safe, and scientifically defensible. I work on both new formulations and reformulation projects, including ingredient replacement, dose optimization, and nutritional correction. In addition, I provide professional support in R&D consulting, regulatory alignment, and compliance documentation, ensuring products meet industry expectations and relevant nutritional standards such as AAFCO and FEDIAF. My core services include: 1. Dog & Cat Food Formulation (dry, wet/canned, semi-moist) 2. Treats & Functional Chews Formulation (joint, gut, immunity, calming, skin/coat) 3. Pet Supplement Formulation (powders, capsules, tablets, soft chews) 4. Technical evaluation of existing products (formula review, ingredient suitability, dosing accuracy) 5. Nutrient validation and balancing (protein/fat targets, Ca:P ratio, Mg/ash control, taurine, vitamins/minerals) 6. COA review and ingredient quality assessment 7. Guaranteed Analysis (GA) calculations and nutrition labeling support 8. Wet food / canned food guidance (retort-related nutrient stability and practical feasibility) 9. Pet product R&D consulting and New Product Development (NPD) 10. AAFCO / FEDIAF compliance checks and nutrient profile verification 11. Regulatory and safety review of ingredients (dose safety, inclusion limits, interactions) 12. Reformulation for cost reduction and manufacturing feasibility 13. Technical documentation support (formulation reports, product dossiers, SOP guidance) 14. Scientific writing and evidence-based claim justification (whitepapers, technical summaries, literature review) With international research and applied experience in USA, Japan, South Korea, and Pakistan, I combine academic expertise with real-world formulation and product development support. If you need a reliable expert to formulate, evaluate, or improve a pet food, treat, or supplement product with strong scientific credibility, I would be happy to collaborate.
