The present invention is an improved superfood supplement for dogs.

Stable solid compositions have a first carrier and an adsorbate having at least one active component, such as, a vitamin D derivative and a hydrophobic stabilizer thereof, wherein the first carrier is a calcium phosphate or derivatives thereof having a solubility in water lower than 0.1 wt % at room temperature.

Dog chews with an inner material and an outer coating. The animal-hide materials of the present invention, when used as an inner material, advantageously can increase durability and chew times. A meat-based coating, when used as the outer coating, advantageously can increase taste of the interior material.

Described are stable, durable granules with active agents, which have consistently low internal water activity, and methods for making such granules. The granules are particularly suitable for inclusion in steam treatment processes, including pelleting and tableting processes and steam processing of feed, without appreciable loss of active agent activity. The granules can be manufactured using humid processing air without compromising the stability of the active agents

A packaged food product includes a container and a food product. The container has a rim and at least one sidewall extending from the rim to a bottom wall. The at least one sidewall and the bottom wall define a storage area, and the food product is retained within the storage area such that the food product is in contact with the at least one sidewall. The at least one sidewall is readily deformable by a hand of a user to reduce a volume of the storage area. Finger engaging recesses are formed in the bottom wall to assist in deforming the container, with reducing the volume of the storage area causing the food product to exit the storage area. The bottom wall of the container includes an integral tool portion for breaking up and/or tenderizing the food product after removal from the storage area. The food product can be a wet cat or dog food.
