animal food
Feed for creatures
Food formulated for animals rather than humans.
Pet food is the most common type—kibble, canned food, treats—but animal food also includes livestock feed and specialized diets for zoo animals.
The term distinguishes products meant for animal consumption from human food, though the line blurs with some premium pet foods marketed as "human-grade."
