摘要

The present invention comprises a nutritional additive system for pets comprising a separately packaged nutritional additive within a package of base pet food. The base pet food may be characterized as having been prepared at a temperature at or above 200° F. and/or a shear rate at or above 100 sec^-1. The nutritional additive may be stored in a container which is otherwise sealed from the environment, and which may be configured to dispense it contents, onto the base pet food, without substantial introduction of air and ensuing oxidation of its contents. The container may be collapsible/expandable. Furthermore the nutritional additive may be microencapsulated.
