Embodiment Construction

[0009] The present invention relates to molded resin-based edible chew toys for animals that are enriched with vitamins / minerals and / or herbs to meet the overall nutritional needs / needs of the animal.

[0010] The resin components are discussed first. Preferably the resin is selected from starch, casein, denatured and partially hydrolyzed collagen, thermoplastic polymers and mixtures thereof. Thermoplastic polymers include polymers such as polyamides and polyurethanes, and ethylene copolymers such as poly(ethylene-acrylic acid) and poly(ethylene-vinyl alcohol).

[0011] As a representative example, such as in the case of starch, the method of the present invention relies on mixing starch and water to form a mixture that is suitable for melt processing techniques. In this regard, attention is drawn to another US Patent 6,159,516 of the present inventors, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference, which discloses a preferred method of forming starch into molde...

Abstract

A vitamin and / or mineral and / or herbal enriched molded animal chew toy. The vitamins, minerals and / or herbal additives are incorporated into the molded chew toy under conditions that minimize thermal degradation of such additives. Suitable resins include starch, casein, denatured and partially hydrolized casein, thermoplastic polymers and mixtures thereof. In related embodiment, animal chews comprising primarily denatured and partially hydrolized collagen are disclosed, as well as such denatured and partially hydrolized collagen in mixture with vegetable matter, rawhide, animal meal, peanut bits / flour, casein, starch and mixtures thereof.

Description

field of invention [0001] The present invention relates to animal chews for dogs, cats, and other related animals, and more particularly, the present invention relates to molded, fully digestible, nutritious animal chews that are uniquely enriched in vitamins, minerals, and and / or herbal additives to aid in the delivery of these ingredients to the animal by the chewing method. Such additives can be incorporated in starch, casein, protein / colloid and various other polymeric resins. Background technique [0002] There are numerous publications dealing with the development of digestible, nutritious, edible dog chews with structures that can be independently adjusted to suit the preferences or needs of a variety of dogs. The following exemplary publications may be noted: USP 6,180,161, "Heat Modifiable Edible Dog Chew"; 6,159,516, "Method of Molding Edible Starch"; 6,126,978, "Edible Dog Chew"; , "Heat Modifiable Peanut Dog Chew"; 6,093,427, "Vegetable Base...
