[0083] Preparation of the composition
[0084] Compositions comprising n-3 fatty acids, antioxidants, insoluble fiber, and soluble fiber as outlined above can be prepared as food products suitable for consumption by dogs. These food products can be of any consistency or moisture content; that is, the composition can be a moist, semi-moist or dry food product. A "moist" food product is generally one that has a moisture content of 60% to 90% or more. A "dried" food product is typically a food product with a moisture content of 3% to 11%, and is usually manufactured in the form of small pieces or kibble. A "semi-moist" food product typically has a moisture content of 25% to 35%. Food products may also include components having more than one consistency, such as soft, chewy meat-like particles or pieces, and kibble having an outer cereal component or coating and an inner "cream" component.

[0095] The microbial metabolite 4-ethylphenyl sulfate (4-EPS) is associated with stress and anxiety. The level of 4-EPS in the blood can be measured. Blood was collected for determination of plasma metabolomic profiles. Levels of 4-EPS in plasma can be measured by commercial laboratories (Metabolon, Durham, NC, USA). The extracted supernatants were separated and run on gas chromatography and liquid chromatography mass spectrometer platforms. The peak value of 4-EPS is known, and the area under the peak for each sample can be normalized relative to known samples (see also: Evans, A.M. et al. (2009), for identification of small molecule complement in biological systems and Integrated, nontargeted ultrahighperformance liquid chromatography / electrospray ionization tandem massspectrometry platform for the identification and relative quantification of the small-molecule complement of biological systems, analysis Chem. 81, 6656-6667). Gas chromatography (for hydrophobic molecules...

[0108] The following composition is based on the total nutrition provided per day.
[0109] In some embodiments, the amount of n-3 fatty acids is equal to 0.6-0.9% of the daily nutrient intake on a dry matter basis based on the total weight of the composition, the amount of vitamin C is greater than 400 ppm of the daily nutrient intake, the vitamin The amount of E is above the daily nutrient intake of 1000 IUK, the amount of insoluble fiber and soluble fiber is equal to about 4.0-6.0% and the ratio (insoluble fiber / soluble fiber) is in the range between 2.0 and 3.0. In some embodiments, based on the total weight of the composition on a dry matter basis, the composition comprises: chicken in an amount of 5% to 25%; egg protein in an amount of 4% to 15%; egg protein in an amount of 6% to 20% corn gluten meal; vegetables in an amount of 0.5% to 2%; fruit in an amount of 0.5% to 2%; Carbohydrates from rice, hulled oats, and their combinations.
