À PROPOS DE CET ÉPISODE
Walk the New Product Showcase at Global Pet Expo 2026 with host Jordan Tyler and special guest David Perez, who has formulated thousands of pet nutrition products throughout his career and isn’t afraid to question what’s actually new versus what’s just good marketing. From bone broth chews and goat milk “ice cream” to protein-packed treats and longevity-focused formulas, this episode takes you booth by booth through one of the pet industry’s most talked-about New Product Showcases. Tune in for candid takes on why true innovation in pet nutrition can be hard to find—even in a sea of new products—and why balance, research, and regulatory clarity still matter more than the latest trend.
