You will get Market-Ready Pet Food or Supplement Formulation (PhD Nutritionist)
Project details
This project is designed for pet brands and animal nutrition companies seeking science-based, commercially realistic product formulation—not generic recipes.
Led by a PhD-level animal nutritionist with over 20 years of industry experience, each formulation is developed with biological relevance, ingredient interactions, manufacturing feasibility, and regulatory awareness in mind. I work across pet food, supplements, and animal nutrition products, supporting clients from early concept through market-ready formulation.
This is a structured, tiered project intended to move products forward efficiently. Scope, format, and included live consultation are defined by the selected tier to ensure clarity and timely delivery. Additional formulation complexity, revisions beyond scope, or live advisory support are available as add-ons.
This project is ideal for founders and teams who value clear technical guidance, practical execution, and professional documentation that supports next steps such as manufacturing, regulatory review, or commercialization.

Job Success
Springdale, United States - 10:12 am local time
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.
