What pet care products does Shay Labs manufacture?
Shay Labs develops and manufactures nonmedicated pet grooming and topical products such as shampoos, conditioners, rinses, creams, and related liquid or semisolid formats. Projects can include custom formulation, sampling, filling, packaging coordination, and commercial production. This service does not include pet toothpaste, ingestible supplements, or other oral products.
Pet grooming products built around a clear use case
The right formula begins with the animal, coat or skin application, packaging system, use instructions, and claims you intend to make.
Pet shampoos and washes
Rinse off cleansing products designed around coat type, cleansing level, fragrance direction, viscosity, packaging, and intended grooming routine.
Conditioners and rinses
Companion products for detangling, conditioning, coat feel, and a complete wash routine.
Nonmedicated topical care
Creams, lotions, sprays, oils, and other topical grooming formats evaluated individually for formula and package fit.
Accurate positioning protects your brand
Pet products can cross into drug, pesticide, veterinary, or ingestible territory depending on ingredients and claims. Shay Labs evaluates nonmedicated cosmetic style grooming and topical projects. Claims and regulatory responsibilities must be defined before development and production.

How a pet care manufacturing project moves forward
Define the product
Clarify the pet, use case, formula direction, intended claims, fill size, packaging, target cost, and launch quantity.
Choose the right path
Qualifying early stage projects may begin through the Pilot Program or Accelerator. Production ready brands can be evaluated for direct manufacturing.
Develop and evaluate samples
Formula work and sample evaluation align appearance, fragrance, viscosity, application, packaging compatibility, and production requirements.
Prepare for production
Once the product and packaging are defined, Shay Labs confirms manufacturing scope, required testing, components, timeline, and production pricing.
Start with the path that matches your readiness and volume
A smaller first run and a production ready transfer are different projects. The right entry point depends on whether the formula, packaging, and commercial plan are already defined.
Pilot or Accelerator
Qualifying development stage products may begin with production runs starting at 500 units. Product development and physical production are separate scopes.
Direct manufacturing
Best suited to production ready brands with a clear formula, packaging plan, and quantities generally beginning around 5,000 units.
Pet care manufacturing FAQ

Can Shay Labs create a custom pet shampoo formula?

What is the minimum order quantity?
Qualifying Pilot or Accelerator projects may begin with production runs starting at 500 units. Direct manufacturing is generally intended for production ready brands at 5,000 units or more. Final minimums depend on the formula, packaging, components, and production setup.
Does Shay Labs make medicated pet products?
