Abstract: A coherent and physically stable, flavored animal food composition adapted to be used in the preparation of canned or expanded pet foods is prepared by blending and mixing a formulation containing flour, moisture, fat and comminuted natural flavor material such as cheese, poultry, fish, kidney, liver and mixtures thereof to obtain a uniform dispersion of the same in a dough-like mass. Liquid whole egg may be employed as the moisture source and the composition may be further formulated with a stabilizer, preservative, protein adjuncts and coloring.
