Abstract:
The present invention provides an improved method of administering a medicinal, dental or nutritional agent to a non-human animal, such as a domesticated dog or cat. The method comprises mixing a liquid composition in a mixer at various speeds and pressures for a period of time; pouring the liquid composition onto a conveyor belt propelled by polymer rollers, wherein the polymer rollers allow the components to advance on the conveyor belt without adhering to the belt; evenly distributing the composition on the belt with the use of a knife; heating the composition in one or more hot-air chambers; obtaining a film comprised of the composition; cutting the film into strips; and then administering one or more of the strips to the non-human animal by placing the strip under the tongue of the animal, i.e., by sub-lingual administration.
