Chewies & Pet Treat Production
Pet treat manufacturing lines for chewies, baked snacks, and semi-moist products with machinery and process solutions from Premier Forrester.
Chewies and treats are a core category in modern pet food, offering variety in texture, flavour, and nutrition.
Manufacturers face the challenge of producing these products at scale while meeting strict quality standards and catering to diverse consumer preferences. Reliable equipment is essential to deliver consistency in shape, chewiness, and shelf life.
At Premier Forrester, our role is not only to specify machines but to configure complete lines that fit your recipes, space, and long-term production targets.
Chewies & treat production process
Chewies and treats begin with prepared dough, pastes, or extruded mixes containing cereals, proteins, fats, and flavour enhancers. The base is processed through extrusion or forming systems, then cut into defined shapes and sizes. Depending on the recipe, products may be baked, dried, or cooked under controlled conditions to achieve the required texture.

Chewies and treat production - need to know
- Blockers and bottlenecks: Inconsistent dough handling or poor drying can lead to variation in chewiness or shelf life.
- Product variations: Semi-moist treats, crunchy biscuits, and long-lasting chewies each require different process parameters and equipment setups.
- Batch size: Short runs support seasonal or specialised products but raise unit costs, while long campaigns depend on robust controls and efficient cleaning routines.
