Podcast appearances and mentions of greg aldrich

In this Petworking interview short, host Peter Kenseth catches up with Dr. Greg Aldrich of Nulo Pet Food at Global Pet Expo 2025 to see their innovative packaging redesign firsthand.Following their pre-show conversation about the challenges of retail merchandising, this was an exciting chance examine Nulo's comprehensive packaging refresh for their Freestyle line - a project that touched 70-80 different SKUs. Dr. Aldrich walked us through their smart design improvements including flat-bottom construction, interrupted gussets for better shelf stability, and the impressive "apex closure" Velcro seal that makes resealing pet food bags significantly easier.We also got a look at Nulo's newest products: a small breed beef and sweet potato recipe and their new adult lamb formula. This brief segment perfectly illustrates how packaging innovation can enhance consumer experience in meaningful ways beyond the product itself.As Dr. Aldrich notes, pet food manufacturers have just 5-6 seconds to communicate their value proposition to shoppers amid the visual noise of retail environments. Watch to see how Nulo is meeting this challenge!

SuperZoo is just around the corner, and I'm excited. In the latest episode of Petworking, I sat down with three industry leaders to discuss upcoming trends and innovations in pet nutrition ahead of this major event, and what we can hope and expect to see on the show floor in Las Vegas this week. My guests were Dr. Greg Aldrich, COO of Nulo Pet Food, Greg Kean VP of Global Innovation and Nutrition at Wellness Pet Company, and Dr. James Templeman, Director of Nutrition at Primal Pet Foods. Key discussion points included: Alternative processing methods: The experts expect to see continued innovation in minimally processed pet foods, including raw, frozen, freeze-dried, and gently cooked options. These products aim to provide optimal nutrition while addressing consumer demand for less processed foods. Affordability and value: With economic pressures affecting pet owners, companies are working to balance premium nutrition with affordability. This includes offering smaller package sizes and positioning some products as meal toppers rather than complete diets. Consumer experience: The panel emphasized the importance of creating positive feeding experiences for both pets and owners. This includes factors like aroma, texture, and variety to keep pets interested and owners satisfied. Fresh and refrigerated foods: While fresh pet food continues to grow in popularity, the experts noted challenges around profitability, logistics, and consumer education. They expect continued innovation in this space to address these issues. Science-backed nutrition: There's an increasing focus on conducting feeding trials and other research to validate nutritional claims and build veterinarian and consumer trust. Sustainability: The experts hope to see more innovation around sustainable nutrition, including alternative proteins and upcycled ingredients. Cat food innovation: With the growing cat population, there's an opportunity for more product development specifically for felines. While it's challenging to predict the next big breakthrough, the experts agreed that Super Zoo often provides surprises in terms of new product concepts. They look forward to seeing how companies continue to innovate to meet evolving consumer demands and pet nutritional needs. As the pet food industry continues to evolve, it's clear that balancing nutrition, affordability, sustainability, and consumer experience will be key drivers of innovation. Super Zoo 2024 promises to showcase the latest advancements in these areas, potentially unveiling the next big trend in pet nutrition. Listen to the episode, and share your thoughts in the comments!

Chief operating Officer of Nulo Pet Food Dr. Greg Aldrich answers the question, "How have pet food processing technologies evolved, and what do today's technologies mean for the pet food space?"

Dr. Greg Aldrich, Chief Operating Officer at Nulo Pet Food, recently joined Petworking host Peter Kenseth to discuss Nulo's latest innovations in minimally processed pet foods and the brand's philosophy on optimal pet nutrition. Aldrich, who previously worked as an associate professor at Kansas State University studying pet nutrition, joined Nulo about 15 months ago after consulting with the company for over a decade. He has been working closely with Nulo founder Michael Landa on developing foods that align with an active lifestyle for both pets and their owners. A Focus on Minimal Processing A key focus for Nulo is minimizing the processing and heat applied to their foods in order to maximize nutrient retention and availability. Aldrich explained that traditional manufacturing processes like extrusion for kibble and retort canning subject all ingredients to very high heat, which can damage nutrients and create undesirable chemical interactions. Nulo is exploring techniques like cold pressing, gently cooking, air drying, and freeze drying as alternatives that apply lower temperatures for shorter periods. "We're trying to find the perfect time and temperature for each component," said Aldrich. He positions Nulo's approach between raw diets, which have food safety and shelf-life challenges, and highly-processed kibble and cans. The goal is pasteurization to control pathogens while minimizing nutrient loss. High Protein, Low Carb Philosophy In line with the idea that dogs and cats are carnivores, Nulo has adopted a nutritional philosophy focused on high animal protein and low carbohydrates from low-glycemic sources like miscanthus grass fiber. Aldrich cited research linking high protein to better lean body mass and concerns that highly-digestible starches may contribute to obesity and diabetes in pets. Partnering with Athletes To emphasize the nutrition and performance connection, Nulo has partnered with elite athletes like Simone Biles and plans to feature more Olympians heading into the Paris 2024 games. The idea is that consumers will be more receptive to nutritional advice from the athletes they admire. What's Next Nulo's latest innovations include the new cold pressed diet, gently cooked shelf-stable pouches, rebranded freeze dried, and new canned cat foods. At SuperZoo 2024, the brand plans to unveil new treat products aligned with their nutritional principles as well as updated packaging. Aldrich is aiming for continued progress toward the "perfect pet food" through optimal ingredient selection and processing tailored to each nutrient type. However, he emphasized the need for more research funding specifically for pet nutrition to advance knowledge in this area.

Summary for 10-15-2023 –  It's Intimacy, Not RelationshipIn this week's teaching Greg Aldrich discusses the desire of God to have intimacy with us.
