feeding pets

Giving animals meals

Feeding pets is the routine act of providing food to domestic animals in one's care.

The phrase typically refers to a regular household chore: I need to get home—I haven't fed the pets yet.

It can also describe the broader practice of maintaining animals' nutritional needs, including choosing appropriate foods and establishing feeding schedules.
