FIELD OF THE INVENTION [00021 The invention encompasses a nutrition system for a companion animal that includes a plurality of pet food packets, wherein an amount of pet food corresponding to a single meal for a companion animal may be selected and wherein the amount of one or more ingredients of pet food is formulated to alleviate or manage a disorder in a companion animal. In various embodiments, the pet food packets include the nutritional requirements for a companion animal (e.g., protein, fiber, fat) as well as one or more ingredients that alleviate or manage a disorder in a companion animal. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [00031 It is an unfortunate fact that many animals, particularly companion animals (e.g., dogs and cats) have disorders that impede their quality of life. For example, an animal having an excess of adipose tissue may be clinically diagnosed as "fat," "overweight," or "obese" and, as such, are more likely to suffer from associated physical disorders such as arthritis, heart disease, respiratory disease, diabetes, bladder cancer, hypothyroidism, joint disease and/or pancreatitis. [00041 In addition, when a dog or cat is diagnosed with a disorder it is difficult to have the owner administer medication at appropriate or with necessary frequency to help to alleviate or cure the disorder. [00051 The inventors have developed a nutrition system that includes a feeding regime that can overcome problems associated with unhealthy eating while at the same time providing a healthy food that alleviate or manage a disorder in a companion animal, which is present in a unit meal. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [00061 The invention encompasses a nutrition system for a companion animal comprising a plurality of pet food packets, wherein an amount of pet food corresponding to a single meal for a WO 2011/011472 PCT/US2010/042681 companion animal may be selected and wherein the amount of pet food is formulated to alleviate or manage a disorder in a companion animal. [00071 In another embodiment, the invention encompasses a weight loss system for a companion animal in need of losing weight comprising a plurality of pet food packets, wherein an amount of pet food corresponding to a single meal for a companion animal may be selected and wherein the pet food is formulated to affect weight loss in a companion animal. [00081 In another embodiment, the invention encompasses a method for managing nutritional intake of a companion animal comprising: (i) identifying a companion animal in need of nutritional management; (ii) obtaining a plurality of pet food packets, which includes a balanced nutritional amount of a pet food, wherein an amount of pet food corresponding to a single meal for a companion animal may be selected; (iii) administering the contents of at least one pet food packet to a companion animal, wherein the pet food is formulated to alleviate or manage a disorder in a companion animal. In another embodiment, the invention encompasses a weight loss nutrition system for a companion animal in need of losing weight comprising a plurality of pet food packets, wherein an amount of pet food corresponding to a single meal for a companion animal may be selected and wherein the amount of pet food is formulated to affect weight loss in a companion animal and wherein the pet food comprises a source of protein, fat, fiber, carbohydrate, and at least one ingredient selected from pyruvate, lipoic acid, tomato pomace, myristic acid, flaxseed, fish oil, beta-carotene, and combinations thereof. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [00091 The invention generally encompasses a nutrition system for a companion animal comprising a plurality of pet food packets, wherein an amount of pet food corresponding to a single meal for a companion animal may be selected, wherein the amount of pet food is formulated to alleviate or manage a disorder in a companion animal.

[00261 In certain embodiments, the nutrition system further includes companion animal treats, snacks, supplements or beverages. [00271 In certain embodiments, the nutrition system includes a three to six week supply of pet food packets. [00281 In certain embodiments, the pet food comprises one or more sources of protein, fat, fiber, carbohydrate. [00291 In another illustrative embodiment, the invention encompasses a weight loss nutrition system for a companion animal in need of losing weight comprising a plurality of pet food packets, wherein an amount of pet food corresponding to a single meal for a companion animal may be selected, wherein the amount of pet food is formulated to affect weight loss in a companion animal, and wherein the pet food comprises a source of protein, fat, fiber, carbohydrate, and carnitine. [00301 In addition to alleviating or managing a disorder in a companion animal in certain illustrative embodiments, the pet food packets are formulated to meet a macronutrient diet for one or more meals in a day. In certain illustrative embodiments, the pet food pack of the invention includes a diet to enhance the animal's enjoyment of the food and to provide an increase (perceived or real) in enjoyment or satisfaction by the care giver/owner of the companion animal. [00311 In various embodiments, the companion animals of the invention are the domestic cat (Felis domesticus) or the domestic dog (Canis domesticus). Other companion animals include, fish, bird and horse. [00321 In various illustrative embodiments, different nutrient profiles (nutritional compositions) are included in the pet food packets and include, for example, varying amounts of one or more of fat, protein, carbohydrate, calorie density, fiber, vitamins or minerals. -4- WO 2011/011472 PCT/US2010/042681 [00331 In accordance with a typical feeding regime for a companion animal, the animal is fed, for example, one meal in the morning and one meal in the afternoon/evening, with optional treats and/or snacks in between. Accordingly, the pet food pack of the invention in various embodiments includes an amount of pet food corresponding to a single meal for a companion animal that may be selected for feeding as the morning meal and another amount of pet food corresponding to a single meal for a companion animal that may be selected for feeding as the afternoon/evening meal. Additional snacks for in between meals or additions to the main meal (e.g., kibbles) may be included. [00341 In an illustrative embodiment, the pet food packet of the invention includes about 20 wt. % to about 40 wt. % of crude protein on a dry matter basis, about 5 wt. % to about 15 wt. % of crude fat on a dry matter basis, about 10 wt. % to about 30 wt. % of total dietary fiber on a dry matter basis, and about 10 wt. % to about 20 wt. % of crude fiber on a dry matter basis. 100351 In another embodiment, the invention encompasses a feline food composition including about 30 wt. % to about 35 wt. % of crude protein on a dry matter basis, about 7.5 wt. % to about 9 wt. % of crude fat on a dry matter basis, about 15 wt. % to about 25 wt. % of total dietary fiber on a dry matter basis, and about 15 wt. % to about 25 wt. % of crude fiber on a dry matter basis. 100361 In certain embodiments, the pet food packet may include a dry, semi-moist or a moist (wet) product. Wet food includes food that is usually sold in tins and has a moisture content of 70% to 90%. Dry food includes food having a similar composition but with 5% to 15% moisture, often presented as small biscuit-like kibbles. Semi-moist food includes food having a moisture content of from above 15% up to 70%. The amount of moisture in any product may influence the type of packaging that can be used or is required. [00371 The pet food packets of the invention encompass any product that a pet consumes in its diet. Thus, the invention encompasses food products as well as pet food snacks (for example snack bars, cereal bars, snacks, biscuits, drinks, and sweet products). In certain embodiments, the food product may be a cooked product. [00381 In certain embodiments, the food product may incorporate meat or animal-derived material (such as beef, chicken, turkey, lamb, fish, blood plasma, marrowbone, etc or one or more thereof). [00391 In certain embodiments, the food product may be meat-free (preferably including a meat substitute such as soya, maize gluten or a soya product) in order to provide a protein source. -5- WO 2011/011472 PCT/US2010/042681 [00401 In certain embodiments, the food product may contain additional protein sources such as soya protein concentrate, milk, protein, gluten, etc. [00411 In certain embodiments, the food product may also contain a starch source such as one or more grains (e.g. wheat, corn, rice, oats, barley, etc) or may be starch-free. [00421 In certain embodiments, the food product may incorporate or be a gelatinized starch matrix. [00431 In certain embodiments, the food product may incorporate one or more types of fiber such as sugar beet pulp, chicory pulp, chicory, coconut endosperm fiber, wheat fiber etc. [00441 The content of the product/ingredients contributes towards the macronutrient profile of the food. Thus, food products, which according to the invention provide a higher fat content, will be designed accordingly. Dairy products, such as those incorporating a cream or a cheese sauce, may be suitable. The present invention is particularly relevant for a pet food product as described herein which is sold as a pet food, in particular a pet food for a dog or a cat. [00451 The vessels of the food packet may be of any material, shape or size. Their function is, predominantly, to enable ease of use to the care giver/owner of the companion animal and/or the ease of feeding by the companion animal. [00461 In certain embodiments, the pet food packet is labeled to provide information on the meal being administered to the pet. For example, the pet food packet may be labeled "Morning" "Afternoon" or "Evening" to advise the owner when it is appropriate to feed a companion animal. [00471 In another embodiment, the pet food packet is labeled such that the owner of the companion animal is advised of which food packet to administer their companion animal for a particular time. Such a food pack would thus include all of the necessary pet food products for their companion animal for one meal. The food pack therefore allows the owner to simply make available to the companion animal the food products in the food pack for a single meal. This enables ease of use, particularly for owners who take their companion animals away from home (traveling), and those who have busy lives as well as those owners/care givers who do not necessarily know how much food to give to their companion animal. [00481 The food packet according to the invention provides benefits to the companion animal of increased acceptance/palatability increased in enjoyment in feeding and/or increase in enjoyment or satisfaction by the owner of the animal. -6- WO 2011/011472 PCT/US2010/042681 [00491 In certain embodiments, the invention encompasses a nutrition system that includes packets of food for an individual meal, wherein the packets contain the nutritional requirements necessary for a companion animal as well as an amount of food or an ingredient sufficient to alleviate or manage a disorder in a companion animal. [00501 In one embodiment, the nutrition system includes packets with ingredients that assist in the management or behavior of a dog or cat. The food packet includes ingredients that are formulated to help fight age-related behavior changes in older dogs and cats. For example, without being limited by theory, it is believed that an older cat or dog's brain is more vulnerable to free radicals that are naturally produced by the body. The damage free radicals inflict on the brain is often the cause of age-related behavioral changes in older animals. In certain embodiments, each packet is specifically formulated with an exclusive blend of antioxidants and other nutrients to help fight the signs of brain aging and age-related behavioral changes and even help improve the learning ability of older animals. The nutrition system may further include a composition to assist in the management or behavior. [00511 In another embodiment, the nutrition system includes packets with ingredients that prevent or ameliorate urinary tract disorders of a dog or cat. The food packet includes ingredients that are formulated to prevent the build-up of crystals and stones in the urinary tract that can cause painful and bloody urination and potential blockage in a dog or cat. One type of crystal that forms in a dog's urinary tract is called struvite. The food packet of the invention is formulated specifically to provide nutritional management of dogs with struvite-related urinary tract disease and to reduce levels of magnesium and phosphorus, and also produces an acid urine pH to aid in the management of struvite crystals and stones. The nutrition system may further include a composition to prevent or ameliorate urinary tract disorders. [00521 In another embodiment, the nutrition system includes packets with ingredients that prevent or ameliorate inflammatory skin conditions and food allergy and intolerance in a dog or cat. The food packet includes ingredients that are formulated with enhanced levels of omega-3 fatty acids and antioxidants, which have been shown to be useful for pets with a variety of inflammatory skin conditions that are often associated with excessive itching, scratching and licking. Without being bound by theory, it is believed that food allergy and intolerance may result in numerous skin and stomach problems that can cause discomfort and pain in a dog or cat. This condition, also known as an adverse reaction to food, is usually an abnormal response to the -7- WO 2011/011472 PCT/US2010/042681 protein found in many pet foods. The pet food packet comes with novel protein to help manage adverse reactions to food. Reactions can occur as a result of beef, dairy products and wheat. The nutrition system may further include a composition to prevent or ameliorate inflammatory skin conditions and food allergies and intolerances. [00531 In another embodiment, the nutrition system includes packets with ingredients that prevent or ameliorate renal hypertension and kidney disease in a dog or cat. The food packet includes ingredients that are formulated to help reduce nutrient excesses that may be harmful to their system. For example, by reducing sodium, dogs with mild heart disease are less likely to exhibit signs associated with sodium and fluid retention. Increasing omega-3 fatty acids and low sodium may help improve blood flow to the kidneys while helping to minimize high blood pressure. The nutrition system may further include a composition to prevent or ameliorate renal hypertension and/or kidney disease. 100541 In another embodiment, the nutrition system includes packets with ingredients that prevent or ameliorate a gastrointestinal disorder (GI) in a dog or cat. The food packet includes ingredients that are formulated to help manage dogs or cats with GI disorders. There are several types of GI disorders that affect dogs or cats, including colitis, constipation/diarrhea, gastroenteritis and pancreatitis. The nutrition system may further include a composition to prevent or ameliorate renal gastrointestinal disorders. [00551 In another embodiment, the nutrition system includes packets with ingredients that maintain healthy joints and improve mobility in a dog or cat. The food packet includes ingredients that are formulated to contain high levels of EPA (Eicosapentanoic Acid), an omega 3 fatty acid found in high concentrations in fish oil, enhanced levels of glucosamine and chondroitin provide the building blocks of healthy cartilage, and L-carnitine helps maintain optimum body weight. The nutrition system may further include a composition to maintain healthy joints and improve mobility. [00561 In another embodiment, the nutrition system includes packets with ingredients that reduce or ameliorate liver problems in a dog or cat. The food packet includes ingredients that are formulated with high quality protein sources that reduce the liver workload and aid in the regeneration of liver tissue. In certain embodiments, added antioxidant nutrients like Vitamin E, Vitamin C and selenium, help combat oxidative stress. The nutrition system may further include a composition to reduce or ameliorate liver problems. -8- WO 2011/011472 PCT/US2010/042681 [00571 In another embodiment, the nutrition system includes packets with ingredients that reduce or ameliorate problems associated with cancer, chemotherapy or radiation therapy in a dog or cat. The food packet includes ingredients that are formulated for the management of dogs or cats with cancer who are undergoing radiation or chemotherapy and is designed to increase life span and improve the quality of life for dogs or cats with cancer. The nutrition system may further include a composition to reduce or ameliorate problems associated with cancer, chemotherapy or radiation therapy. [00581 In another embodiment, the nutrition system includes packets with ingredients that reduce or ameliorate painful and potentially serious problem is that usually a result of plaque and tartar buildup at and under the gum line of a dog or cat. The food packet includes ingredients that are formulated specifically for the nutritional management of dogs or cats with dental disease. The special fiber matrix scrubs the exposed tooth surface like an edible toothbrush, reducing bacteria laden plaque. The nutrition system may further include a composition to reduce or ameliorate conditions associated with plaque and tartar build-up. [00591 In another embodiment, the nutrition system includes packets with ingredients that reduce or ameliorate problems associated with excess weight, diabetes and digestive conditions that can cause problems for your dog. The nutrition system may further include a composition to reduce or ameliorate renal problems associated with excess weight, diabletes and digestive conditions. [00601 Feeding the right food can help your pet live a healthier lifestyle. The pet food packet includes a fiber rich formula, may be useful as a nutritional aid for dogs and cats with fiber responsive diseases such as diabetes mellitus, colitis, diarrhea, constipation, and to help manage overweight dogs, including those with struvite urolithiasis.
