<b>Pet food</b><br />
<br />
<b>Pet food</b> is plant or animal material 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 non-human
animals is a by-product of the human food industry, and is not regarded as
"human grade.<br />
Fish foods normally contain macro nutrients, trace elements and vitamins
necessary to keep captive fish in good health. Approximately 80% of fishkeeping
hobbyists feed their fish exclusively prepared foods that most commonly are
produced in flake, pellet or tablet form. Pelleted forms, some of which sink
rapidly, are often used for larger fish or bottom feeding species such as loaches
or catfish. Some fish foods also contain additives, such as beta carotene or sex
hormones, to artificially enhance the color of ornamental fish.<br />
Bird food are used both in birdfeeders and to feed pet birds. It typically
consist of a variety of seeds. Not all birds eat seeds. Suet (beef or mutton
fat) is recommended for insect-eating birds like nuthatches and woodpeckers. Nectar
(essentially sugar water) attracts hummingbirds.<br />
Cats are obligate carnivores, though most commercial cat food contains both
animal and plant material supplemented with vitamins, minerals and other nutrients.
Cat food is formulated to address the specific nutritional requirements of
cats, in particular containing the amino acid taurine, as cats cannot thrive on
taurine-deficient food.<br />
There are many different recommendations on what diet is best for dogs. Some
people argue that dogs have thrived off of leftovers and scraps from their
human owners for thousands of years and that commercial dog foods (which have
only been available for the past century) contain poor-quality meats,
additives, and other ingredients dogs should not ingest, or that commercial dog
food is not nutritionally sufficient for their dogs. Most store-bought pet food
comes in either dry form, also known as kibble, or wet canned form.<br />
