Abstract
Process for preparing raw hide having a coating containing, at least one inorganic pyrophosphate compound, comprising: (a) subjecting raw hide to a liquefied coating material containing at least one inorganic pyrophosphate compound, thereby, forming a coating of such liquefied coating material on the raw hide; and (b) drying the raw hide having a coating containing said at least one inorganic pyrophosphate compound. The raw hide having a coating containing at least one inorganic pyrophosphate is chewed and/or eaten by dogs, with the result that tartar accumulation on their teeth is reduced or prevented.

Raw hide having a coating containing a tartar-control effective amount of at least one inorganic pyrophosphate compound.
Liquefied coating formulation for applying to animal or human food comprising a surfactant, an effective polysaccharide gum, a binding agent, a starch carrier, a hydrogenated vegetable oil and water.
Process for preparing raw hide having a coating containing a tartar control effective amount of at least one water soluble, alkali metal, inorganic pyrophosphate compound, comprising:
- (a) contacting raw hide with a viscous liquefied coating material containing at least one water soluble, alkali metal, inorganic pyrophosphate compound, thereby, forming a coating of said liquefied coating material on the raw hide;
- and
- (b) drying the raw hide having a coating containing a tartar control effective amount of at last one water soluble, alkali metal, inorganic pyrophosphate compound.
