Pet food

Pet food is animal feed intended for consumption by pets. Typically sold in pet stores and supermarkets, it is usually specific to the type of animal, such as dog food or cat food. Most meat used for animals is a byproduct of the human food industry, and is not regarded as "human grade".

Examples of foods for pets would be canned foods and dry mix.
Pet food production has environmental, land-use and climate change impacts.
