There is provided a pet food product comprising an edible protein-rich body having reduced moisture content and a structure providing textural firmness capable of inducing thorough chewing behaviour in a pet to which it is fed and, through such behaviour, inhibiting the development of periodontal disorders in the pet animal. The food body preferably has a browned outer surface, achieved by exposure of the body to a source of dry heat. A method of producing such body includes steps of providing a coherent, edible, protein- rich body, causing moisture content of the body to be in the range from about 20 % to 50 % by weight and causing the body to have a structure capable of inducing thorough chewing by a pet. The method preferably includes reducing the moisture content of the body after it has been formed.
