BOOSTING
the
appeal
Fruit, vegetable and protein particulates and inclusions
make pet food and treats more appealing than ever.

Seeking out enhanced nutrition in pet food and treats
continues to be a trusted path for a growing number
of pet owners who wish to improve their pet's health.
Producers of pet food and treats are capitalizing on the
ongoing appeal of high-nutrient inclusions and so-called
superfoods. This includes a desire for pet food products
that support health and wellness, according to Lynn
Dornblaser, director, innovation and insight for Mintel,
Chicago, Illinois. She reports pet owners are closely
reading labels, looking for simple ingredients, fortified
nutrition and information on sourcing.
Nutritious fortifications often come in the form of particulate and inclusion technologies that originate from human food manufacturing. The inclusions and particulates
used in pet food and treats offer producers a way to create new products and line extensions, deliver a consistent
burst of color (flavored or unflavored) and provide visual
appeal for the pet owner who wants to treat their animal.
The sensory appeal of inclusions and/or particulates in a
product can provide variety for the consumer purchasing
the product and enrich special times with pets, according
to Grace Mackie, product development scientist, Balchem Inclusions that offer

Their continually wet noses help trap scent particles
and each nostril can capture a different smell, according
to scienceabc.com.
The discerning qualities of dogs could be why there
seems to be greater emphasis on particulates in dog
food, according to Gerardo Perez, vice president of
R&D, Freshpet, Secaucus, New Jersey. "We are always
experimenting with new foods," Perez says. "But at the
end of the day, it doesn't matter how great we think these
ingredients are, we have to ask the experts. We have to
ask the cats and dogs and they will tell us. I have seen
many people produce a formula and take it to the dogs
