I love when Springwise speaks about customized food! This time - it’s PET food!
Here’s what they say (and I encourage you to just always read their posts on their site… pretty awesome website!):
OK, so it might seem like the design-your-own customization trend has  come to just about every product category under the sun, but there was  one we hadn’t yet seen—until recently. Specifically, Canadian RedMoon Custom Pet Food lets  its customers design the food they buy for their cats and dogs.
There’s hardly all design-your-own products in existence yet. So much more to come! Where’s my customized wallet? Boom box? Personalized mouse? Post its? Lamps? …
Inspired by the recent rash of pet food recalls and the increasing  incidence of food allergies in pets, RedMoon offers fully customizable  dry pet food based on a variety of meats, produce and supplements. All  RedMoon products are free of grain, gluten, soy, rice, wheat and corn.  Dog owners begin by choosing a base formula—high-protein chicken and  yellow pea medley, for instance—and indicating the activity level of  their dog. They then select the size of kibble they’d like, along with  how big a bag. A variety of supplements are available to be  added—antioxidant immune booster, for example—and then the order is  done. Cat owners have similar options, starting with a base food made  from salmon. Either way, pricing starts at USD 8.99 for a 2.5-lb.  trial-size bag, shipping included.
There’s no doubt consumers like to have it their own way, and it  seems a safe bet that their pets do too. Unfortunately, RedMoon ships  only within Canada and the continental United States. One to partner  with or emulate for the four-legged consumers in your part of the  world…? ;-) (Related: Eco-habitats for cats that can be decorated by kids.)

I visited the website, and I love that you can pick “boosts” (think Jamba Juice) to add, like the “Spring Step Joint Reviver Plus” (what a name). You can even name your pet food! This is clearly for needy but intelligent pets that rejoice when they get food that has their name on it ;)
I don’t have pets, so I’m lacking the empathy to customize food for your pet, but the allergy point is a good one. Any pet owners here? What do you think?
