Abstract: A nutritionally complete animal food including, vitamins, and minerals to sustain the animal's health and wellness. The one or more ingredients containing cannabinoids added to the nutritionally complete animal food at the time of manufacturing. These cannabinoids are selected from the group consisting of Cannabichromenic acid (CBCA), Cannabidiolic acid (CBDA), Cannabidivarinic acid (CBDVA), Cannabigerolic acid (CBGA), Cannabinolic acid (CBNA), ?9-Tetrahydrocannabinolic acid (THCA), Tetrahydrocannabinolic acid (THCVA) and combinations thereof. The concentrations of each of the cannabinoids are each less than 100 parts per million (ppm) in the at least one ingredient. In an alternate embodiment, the one or more ingredients have cannabinoids include in an aggregate concentration of less than 100 parts per million (ppm).

Abstract: A pet food product includes a food substrate manufactured by extrusion, baking or other process involving heat. The pet food product includes less than 10% of hemp oil by weight, and preferably less than 5% by weight. The hemp oil has cannabinoids, including acidiccannabinoids. The acidic cannabinoids have a concentration of less than 100 parts per million, and preferably between 10-40 parts per million in the hemp oil. The acidic cannabinoids include cannabidiolic acid (CBD-A) and cannabidiol (CBD) in a ratio of at least 1:1, and preferably 3:1, or greater. An antioxidant is added to the hemp oil to inhibit oxidation of the acidiccannabinoids including the (CBD-A). The pet food product includes a second oil blended with the hemp oil. The antioxidant and the second oil cooperate to inhibit oxidation of the acidic cannabinoids.

Abstract: A method for forming a digestible pet chew includes combining ingredients including a leavening agent and an acid to form a mixture having about 16 to 32% moisture, adding the mixture to a barrel of an injection molding machine, and plasticizing the mixture with heat and pressure to form a plasticized material. The plasticized material is then injected into a chilled mold and cooled in the mold for a time sufficient to form a skin surrounding a center portion. The mold is then released to allow the center portion to expand to form a pet chew having an outer skin and an expanded center.

Abstract: A cold-set, injection-molded digestible pet chew includes an outer skin layer having a tough, chewy texture and an expanded center being surrounded by the outer skin layer. The outer skin layer and the expanded center being are formed by injecting a plasticized mixture into a chilled mold and cooling in the mold for about 10-60 seconds followed by releasing the mold to allow the center to expand to form a digestible pet chew. The plasticized mixture includes protein, starch, 0.1-2.5% encapsulated leavening agent, acid, and 5-15% of a humectant. The encapsulated leavening agent reacts with the acid to form the expanded center within the outer skin layer. Further, the pet chew has a water activity of 0.60 or below such that the expanded center remains expanded.
