Compositions and methods reduce symptoms of human allergy to cats. The effectiveness of a molecule which specifically binds to Feline domesticus allergen number 1 (Fel D1) is enhanced by prolonging the time the immunoglobulin stays within the mouth of a cat to whom the anti-Fel D1 molecule is administered in a pet food. The compositions and methods use a powder that is a dried hydrogel encapsulating the anti-Fel D1 molecule, and the hydrogel is based on gelatin, collagen peptides, or gelatin and collagen peptides; and carrageenan. The methods of making the powder provide a high encapsulation efficacy, sustained release of the anti-Fel D1 molecule in the cat's mouth, and oral adhesion of the anti-Fel D1 molecule in the cat's mouth.

Compositions and methods for reducing at least one symptom of human allergy to cats

A liquid dispensing apparatus, may include a first container configured to hold a first liquid. The first container can have an opening in an end of the first container. The liquid dispensing apparatus may further comprise a frustoconical-shaped container inside and attached to the first container. The frustoconical-shaped container is configured to hold a second liquid. A frustum of the frustoconical-shaped container has an opening. The frustum of the frustoconical-shaped container is proximate to the end of the first container and the opening in the frustoconical-shaped container may have a smaller cross-sectional area than the opening in the first container. The frustoconical-shaped container separates the first liquid from the second liquid. When the first and the second liquids are poured from the apparatus, the first liquid flows through the opening in the first container, the second liquid flows through the opening in the frustoconical-shaped container and the opening in the first container, such that the first liquid begins to exit the opening in the first container before the second liquid begins to exit the opening in the first container.
