A dry hard or soft canine biscuit having visually apparent, discrete meat and/or meat by-product particles distributed substantially uniformly throughout the biscuit is obtained by blending the non-fat solids portion of a canine biscuit dough with the particles which are substantially inert with respect of the dog biscuit dough, mixing the dry-blended mixture with water and with the fat portion of the pet biscuit dough to form a dough, forming the dough into pieces, and baking and drying the formed pieces to obtain a microbiologically stable product which can be packaged without a barrier material. Meat and/or meat by-product particle inertness is made possible by using particles having: 1) a moisture content of 35% by weight or less and, 2) a water activity which is less than the water activity of said biscuit dough. |
