Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of pet food, and in particular to a pet medicine-feeding snack and a preparation process thereof. Background Art

[0002] Dogs and cats resist taking medicine and usually show strong resistance to the action of feeding medicine. They may even have a stress reaction due to forced feeding, which may cause accidental injuries to pets and pet owners during the feeding process. Giving medicine to pets has become a major problem for pet owners. For some pets that are obedient and gentle and cooperate with taking medicine, you can put the medicine directly on their tongue and let the pet swallow the medicine by themselves; but medicine usually has a bitter taste, and some pets hate the taste of medicine. They may spit it out just after feeding it, and need to be fed again. When feeding with a medicine feeder, liquid medicine can be fed with a medicine feeder or a syringe, and solid medicine such as tablets or capsules can be fed with a specially designed medicine feeder. These medicine feeders usually have different models and are suitable for pets of different sizes; but the operation is relatively complicated, and there is a risk of spitting out the medicine, the pet refusing to swallow, the pet swallowing the soft head of the medicine feeder by mistake, and being bitten and scratched by the pet when feeding the medicine. For some picky and alert pets, the medicine can be hidden in their favorite food, and the taste of the medicine can be covered with food to induce the pet to eat independently; but some pets may pick out the medicine and selectively eat other food. The interweaving of multiple factors makes it difficult to feed pets medicine, and also causes great trouble to pet owners. Summary of the invention

[0003] The purpose of the present invention is to address the defects and shortcomings of the prior art and provide a pet medicine snack and a preparation process thereof, which can completely hide the smell and taste of the medicine, allowing the pet to eat independently, truly solving the problem of medicine feeding for pet owners, and can also be used as a snack for daily activities, outdoor walks, and training rewards, satisfying the pet's appetite while providing it with energy supplements, thereby enhancing the emotional connection and interactive fun between the pet and the pet owner.

[0004] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the pet medicated snack of the present invention comprises the following components by weight: 15-25% chicken meal, 1%-10% chicken liver powder, 1%-5% chicken fat, 0.1%-5% brewer's yeast powder, 10-25% high-gluten flour, 0.1%-10% pet flavor enhancer, 0.01%-1% pure gum, 0.01%-1% rosemary extract, 0.01%-1% vitamin E oil, 1%-5% maltose syrup, 20-30% glycerol, 0.1%-5% lactic acid, 10-20% purified water, 0.01%-1% potassium sorbate, and 0.01%-1% caramel pigment.

[0005] Furthermore, the pet medicated snack comprises the following components by weight: 22% chicken meal, 6% chicken liver powder, 2.5% chicken fat, 1% brewer's yeast powder, 20% high-gluten flour, 5% pet flavor enhancer, 0.5% pure gum, 0.2% rosemary extract, 0.2% vitamin E oil, 3% maltose syrup, 26% glycerol, 1% lactic acid, 12% purified water, 0.3% potassium sorbate, and 0.3% caramel pigment.
