Abstract
A dry particulate porous expanded animal food is disclosed comprised of chunks or kibs of a mixture of farinaceous and proteinaceous ingredients. The kibs are then coated with a fat/dextrin material emulsion. The product is characterized by its improved ability to resist rapid extensive hydration when liquid is added and hence remain crispy in liquid for substantial periods of time. The product is also of improved palatability and appeal to pets.
