The coating is applied at a level of at least 4% and less than 8% based on the total weight of the dog food and will contain from 1 to 3 parts lipolyzed tallow and from 1 to 3 parts digest of beef. Preferably, the coating will contain from 2 to 3 parts of both the digest of beef and the lipolyzed beef tallow, and may contain up to four percent beef tallow.
