DRY FOOD COMPOSITION, METHODS FOR INCREASING THE PALATABILITY OF A DRY FOOD COMPOSITION TO AN ANIMAL, TO INCREASE THE FREQUENCY OF INGESTION OR THE INGESTION RATE OF A DRY FOOD, DRY FOOD AND DRY FOOD AND, MEANS TO COMMUNICATE INFORMATION OR INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE MANUFACTURE OR USE OF DRY FOOD COMPOSITIONS HAVING IMPROVED PALATABILITY TO AN ANIMAL. The invention relates to a dry food composition comprising one or more pieces having a level of palatable agents from zero to the baseline and one or more pieces having an improved level of palatable agents compared to pieces having a level of zero palatable agents to the baseline. The composition surprisingly exhibits improved palatability to an animal when compared to food compositions comprising pieces having a uniform level of palatability enhancer.
