Abstract
This invention discloses a low calorie dietetic dog biscuit containing vegetable hulls. The vegetable hulls are fibrous components and reduce the overall caloric content of the biscuits to between about 320 and 330 calories per 100 grams of said biscuit. The biscuits can use a blend of proteinaceous and farinaceous ingredients such that the overall protein content of the biscuits is reduced when compared to standard dog biscuits. The preferred embodiment is a low calorie dog biscuit including rice hulls.
