Abstract
The object of the invention is to provide a dog food of improved acceptability. Dog foods, no matter how nutritious, must be palatable for the dogs to receive the proper nutrition. This invention provides a dog food of improved palatability by the use of magnesium oleate as a palatant. The preferred embodiment employs magnesium oleate in a surface fat coating to enhance the palatability of a dry dog food. Levels of about 0.2% to about 0.4% based on the total weight of the food are most preferred.
