Abstract
A method is described for producing a dry pet food having a moisture content of less than 15 percent by weight. Its texture may be substantially solid and fibrous or it may be expanded. The pet food contains a reduced amount of amylaceous ingredients as well as specified types of proteinaceous adhesives in conjunction with plasticizing agents, and is processed to form either a fibrous or an expanded texture using a specially designed air nozzle.
