Disclosed is a "Pet Food Formulation System" (PFFS) that is a "treatment system" that results in loss of weight by pets consuming ad libitum, or in controlled rations, a reduced calorie pet food. The PFFS will comprise the use of jojoba meal (JM) in the form of whole fat jojoba seed flour (WFJSF), expeller pressed jojoba seed meal, and/or solvent extracted jojoba seed meal, in combination with simmondsin concentrate (SC) and jojoba oil (JO), such combinations designed to both reduce the quantity of pet food consumed by the pet and at the same time reduce the level of calories contributed by the pet food that is consumed. Simmondsin concentrate and the natural simmondsin content of jojoba meal contained in a pet food for consumption by either dogs or cats serves to reduce pet appetite and therefore the amount of food that the pet is inclined to consume. The reduced food consumption is not due to reduced acceptability of the food by the pet, rather through the mechanism of reduced appetite produced by the simmondsin in the pet food. |
