ABSTRACT:
A low calorie dog treat is composed of food grade cellulose, a unique binder system holding the matrix, a combination of various color and flavor ingredients, and salt. The product contains only a few calories and can be consumed in large quantities by a dog without contributing to an obesity problem. The product is designed to compete with existing pet treats such as dog jerky, biscuits and bone shaped treats, and it is preferably amenable for use as a very few calorie pet food. The reduced number of calories in the dog treat is related to the fact that the cellulose material is composed primarily of fiber and therefore is not digested by the dog. The gum or binder system used in the formulation is also non-caloric. The product is produced by using existing processing equipment or by adapting such equipment relatively easily to applicants' methods. The product is produced by a process that is novel and that uniquely provides unexpected results in solidifying a mixture with a high amount of food grade cellulose.
