Abstract

This paper provides a comprehensive overview of innovations in pet food products, focusing on kibbles, chews, and treats. Kibbles, which are processed dry dog food, play a crucial role in the pet food industry, with ongoing efforts to enhance their formulation to improve dental health and increase pet preference. Coated kibbles introduce a novel approach with a core and coating, offering a customizable composition of proteins, binders, carbohydrates, and fats. These innovations aim to meet the diverse nutritional needs of pets while improving palatability and health benefits.
