Pet food compositions and methods for minimizing tartar and/or improving the health of pets are disclosed herein. The pet food compositions typically include about 20 wt. % or more of fat comprising a medium chain triglyceride(s) having an octanoate component, wherein the medium chain triglyceride(s) comprising the octanoate component comprises about 10 wt. % or more of the fat, based on the total weight of the fat on a dry matter basis. The pet food compositions also may have a ketogenic ratio of about 1.5 or greater as calculated using Formula 1: (0.9 F+0.46 P)/(0.1 F+0.58 P+C), wherein F is the weight percentage of fat, P is the weight percentage of protein, and C is the weight percentage of carbohydrate.

The invention relates to a particulate urea-based blend composition comprising a urea-based compound in particulate form and one or more components in particulate form, selected from the group of nitrates, phosphates, sulphates and chlorides, and a urease inhibitor of the type phosphoric triamide, and a magnesium sulphate, wherein the urea-based blend composition is further characterized in that it comprises an alkaline or alkaline-forming compound, selected from the group of calcium oxide, zinc oxide, magnesium oxide, calcium carbonate, and mixtures thereof. The composition according to the invention has improved properties for reducing ammonia loss by urease activity in the soil and is in particular suitable as a fertilizer. The invention further relates to a method for the manufacture of said urea-based blend composition, as well as to a composition of kit of parts comprising an amount of a) magnesium sulphate; b) a urease inhibitor of the type phosphoric triamide, preferably N-(n-butyl) thiophosphoric triamide (nBTPT); c) an alkaline or alkaline-forming compound, selected from the group of calcium oxide, zinc oxide, magnesium oxide, calcium carbonate, and mixtures thereof, and d) optionally, one or more anti-caking and/or moisture-repellent and/or anti-dust compounds.

There is provided an animal feed composition comprising Polyhalite in a concentration between 0.5%-5% w/w.
