A food composition for managing non-food allergies in companion animals is disclosed, along with a method of managing non-food allergies.

Pet food composition for managing non-food allergies

The invention provides (1) methods for modulating gene expression in senescent mammals by administering antioxidant-comprising compositions to the mammals and (2) antioxidant-comprising compositions that modulate gene expression and/or reduce the oxidative stress of such mammals.

Use of antioxidants for gene modulation

The invention encompasses pet food compositions for a companion animal that include ginger and methods for enhancing the quality of life of an animal by administering such pet food compositions in the diet of the animal.

Compositions including ginger for the amelioration or prevention of inflammatory conditions

This invention is directed generally to compositions (including foods nutritional supplements, treats, and toys) for animal consumption, particularly compositions that comprise omega-3 and omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids, and particularly compositions that tend to aid in reducing mitogen-activated-protein ('MAP') kinase activity in animals. This invention also is directed generally to methods for using such compositions, particularly to methods for using such compositions to reduce MAP kinase activity in animals, and particularly to methods for using such compositions to treat a cancer or tissue hyperplasia. This invention is further directed generally to processes for making such compositions.
