Abstract: A palatable viscous carrier for delivery of a variety of ingestible substances including dietary supplements, therapeutic agents, vitamins, and other probiotic agents. In addition, the present invention protects components from contact with atmospheric oxygen and water that may degrade their quality. The present invention also provides a natural oil coating to protect the ingestible substances from degradation by stomach acids. Furthermore, the vehicle, herein described, is easily dispensed using inexpensive, commonly available packaging such as collapsible tubes, two compartment aerosols, and pump dispensers. The vehicle of the present invention is an anhydrous, hydrophobic, nontoxic vegetable oil base that can be made using commonly used manufacturing equipment. The invention is directed primarily to veterinary applications, but also has applications in any industry involving the delivery of nutritional supplements and probiotic agents to living creatures.
