Abstract
A method for producing a dry pet food resembling marbled meat in appearance and having a moisture content of less than 15 percent by weight is obtained by utilizing two doughs having a reduced amount of amylaceous ingredients within the pet food as well as using specific types of proteinaceous adhesives in conjunction with plasticizing agents. The two doughs are cooked, extruded together and dried to reduce the moisture content of the product to less than 15 percent by weight.
