Hire the Best Pig Specialists
in the United States

I have nine years of experience as a Veterinary Assistant and customer service professional, where I have honed my skills in patient care, documentation, and client relations. I excel in fast-paced environments while managing multiple tasks efficiently and effectively. My strong knowledge of animal anatomy and hands-on experience in healthcare settings allow me to provide exceptional support to both clients and their pets. If you are seeking a dedicated professional who understands the nuances of veterinary care and client communication, let's discuss how I can contribute to your team and enhance your practice.

I help pet brands turn product ideas into commercially viable products. From concept and formulation to compliance, manufacturing, palatability testing, and launch, I help companies navigate what it actually takes to bring a dog, cat, or equine supplement, functional treat, topper, or wellness product to market. I'm a Certified Veterinary Technician and pet industry product development consultant with 20+ years of experience spanning formulation, product development, regulatory/compliance, manufacturing, brand management, and retail commercialization. My background includes GNC Pets, the National Animal Supplement Council (NASC), and Green Mountain Animal Health/Complete Pet (pet supplement/treat contract manufacturer), including product development and brand management supporting 200+ SKUs sold through PetSmart. Most clients come to me because they need more than someone who can create a formula. They need someone who understands whether that formula can actually be manufactured, accepted by pets, labeled appropriately, scaled, and sold. -How I Can Help- • Product concept development & feasibility • Pet supplement & functional treat formulation • Competitor Analysis • Formula review, reformulation & troubleshooting • Ingredient selection & sourcing • Structured in-home dog & cat palatability testing • AAFCO/NASC compliance considerations • Label, ingredient panel & product claim review • Soft chews, powders, capsules, treats & toppers • Manufacturer/CDMO identification & sourcing • Product specifications & manufacturing documentation • Cost & commercialization considerations • Product line extensions & portfolio development -A Great Formula Doesn't Matter If Pets Won't Eat It.- One capability that sets us apart is structured palatability testing with our own panel of dogs and cats living in real homes. We can evaluate prototypes for initial acceptance, consumption, repeat acceptance, preference between formulations, ease of administration, and owner observations. This gives brands structured, real-world feedback from actual household pets before committing to a final formula or larger production run—helping identify palatability problems while they're still easier and less expensive to fix. -Why Clients Hire Me- End-to-end product development: I don't just formulate. I consider manufacturing constraints, ingredient availability, cost, compliance, palatability, positioning, and commercialization. Real pet-industry experience: I've worked on the brand side developing and managing commercial pet products, including 200+ SKUs sold online and in major retailers. Industry connections: I bring an established network of contract manufacturers, CDMOs, ingredient suppliers, brokers and other pet-industry partners to help move projects forward. Animal-health perspective: As a Certified Veterinary Technician, I combine practical animal-health knowledge with two decades of pet product development experience. -Additional Formulation Expertise- In addition to my own experience, I work closely with my business partner Chelsea Pockette, a PCQI-certified formulator with 20+ years of pet nutraceutical and functional treat experience. Her background includes R&D experience with Outward Hound and FoodScience Corp. (VetriScience/Pet Naturals) and formulation work across 300+ SKUs, including soft chews, powders, capsules, and extruded products. Together, we bring expertise across formulation science, product development, palatability, regulatory strategy, manufacturing, and commercialization. -Best Fit Projects- I work especially well with pet supplement and treat startups, established pet brands developing new products, human supplement companies entering the pet category, and companies needing help with formulation, palatability, compliance, or manufacturing. Whether you're starting with an idea, an ingredient list, an existing formula, or a product already in development, I can help determine what's feasible, what needs to change, and the most practical path to market. Tell me what you're developing, the target species, intended benefit, and where you are in the process. Let's figure out the right next step.

I am an animal care taker, with a creative side. I also have data entry skills and experience with; •Workday •Blue Yonder •Word, Excel, & Powerpoint

I help pet brands and animal agriculture companies take nutrition products from idea to commercialization—whether that’s to retail shelves, feed mills, or directly to the customer’s mailbox. I’m Dr. Casey Bradley, a PhD-level animal nutritionist with over 20 years of experience across pet food and supplements, swine and poultry nutrition, feed additives, and animal health–adjacent products. I specialize in product development, formulation, and regulatory support, helping teams move efficiently from concept to market while avoiding costly technical or compliance mistakes. Most clients hire me when they need a scientific partner who understands both the science and the realities of commercialization. How I Support Clients on Upwork I provide end-to-end support across the product lifecycle, including: • Product concept development and feasibility assessment • Pet food and supplement formulation or reformulation • Ingredient evaluation and sourcing strategy • Regulatory and compliance guidance (U.S.-focused) • Technical documentation for manufacturers, partners, or investors • Scientific and marketing-aligned technical writing • Troubleshooting stalled or high-risk development projects Many Upwork engagements begin as a single project and naturally evolve into longer-term partnerships or retainers as products move toward launch and scale. Why Clients Hire Me • End-to-end perspective: I don’t just formulate—I help products become commercially viable • Startup-tested: Brands like Kibbies and Miracle Vet began as Upwork projects and scaled from there • Broad industry experience: From early-stage startups to large global animal and pet nutrition companies • Clear communication: I translate complex nutrition science into practical, actionable decisions • Speed with rigor: Efficient execution without sacrificing scientific integrity Background & Expertise I hold a Doctorate in Animal Science (Nutrition & Immunology) from the University of Arkansas. My career spans research and development, technical consulting, regulatory support, data analysis, and technical writing within the animal feed and pet nutrition industries. My work has been featured in Pig Progress and other industry publications, and I regularly support clients preparing for manufacturing, commercialization, and investor or partner discussions. Best Fit Projects • Pet food or supplement startups launching their first products • E-commerce brands expanding or refining product lines • Animal agriculture or feed companies needing expert technical support • Teams seeking a hands-on scientific advisor, not just a contractor If you’re looking for a trusted expert who can bridge science, regulation, and commercialization, we can start with a focused project and build from there.

Are you looking for a veterinarian with expertise that bridges traditional and holistic care? In 20+ years as licensed veterinarian with a passion for helping pets thrive through innovative, compassionate care for over 30,000 animals. With over 2 decades of experience, I specialize in blending the best of Western medicine—like vaccinations, blood work, and surgeries—with holistic approaches such as acupuncture, Chinese herbal treatments, essential oils, and ozone therapy. Whether it’s guiding pet owners toward better dietary choices or healing wounds with advanced therapies, I’m here to provide solutions that improve the lives of pets and their families. My Journey into Veterinary Medicine Growing up, I always dreamed of becoming a veterinarian. But like many journeys, mine took a few detours. I started my professional path as an electrical engineer, drawn to the logic and problem-solving of the field. While I enjoyed the challenge, I quickly realized I didn’t want to spend my life behind a computer screen. That’s when I returned to my childhood passion and pursued veterinary school. My engineering background has given me a unique perspective on diagnostics and problem-solving in veterinary medicine, allowing me to approach complex cases with precision and care. Why Choose Me? I’ve built a career on going beyond the basics of veterinary care. My holistic consultations are tailored to each pet’s specific needs, addressing everything from post-surgical recovery to chronic conditions. For example: • Acupuncture: A safe, non-invasive therapy that supports pain management, recovery, and overall wellness. • Ozone Therapy: An advanced treatment that promotes healing, strengthens the immune system, and combats infections—perfect for pets who haven’t responded to traditional treatments. • Dietary Guidance: Helping pet owners transition from processed dry foods to healthier, more natural options that improve vitality and reduce inflammation. I’ve worked with dogs, cats, rabbits, and rodents, and I bring a patient, empathetic approach to every consultation. Professional Highlights • Experienced Holistic Practitioner: I was fortunate to train under leading experts in veterinary acupuncture and holistic medicine during veterinary school. I’ve continued this journey by completing certifications in acupuncture and ozone therapy. • Author and Educator: I co-authored a chapter in a veterinary textbook and served as a teaching assistant for acupuncture courses, helping other professionals adopt holistic practices. • Business Leadership: I co-owned a veterinary practice, balancing the demands of patient care with the complexities of running a clinic. What Can I Do for You? I’m here to collaborate with you on a variety of projects. Whether you’re looking for expert advice on holistic veterinary care, need help creating content for your pet-related business, or want to develop educational materials for pet owners, I can help. My services include: • Writing and editing articles, blog posts, and eBooks on veterinary topics. • Providing expert insights on holistic veterinary care for your projects. • Developing client-friendly guides for pet care, including topics like post-surgical recovery, dietary changes, and alternative therapies. • Crafting compelling and accurate content for veterinary clinics, pet product companies, or educational platforms. A Little About Me When I’m not working, you’ll find me learning new skills or enjoying the outdoors. I’ve completed three century rides (100-mile bike rides) and several shorter cycling events, which have taught me the value of perseverance and preparation. I’m also a piano player and a lifelong learner, currently diving into Portuguese as I prepare for an eventual move to Portugal. Most importantly, I understand how much pets mean to their families. My goal is to empower pet owners with the knowledge and tools they need to give their animals the best possible care. Let’s Work Together Have a project in mind? I’d love to hear about it! Whether you need expert input, engaging content, or practical resources, I’m ready to help. Together, we can create something that makes a difference in the lives of pets and the people who love them. Let’s chat!
