Pet food is sold in the Nexus shop for varying amounts of Gold, and its only purpose is to be used in feeding Pets. Typically, pet food has amounts of feed power that cannot be found on most other items and gear in the game. Below is a breakdown of their feed power and Gold cost.

Item	Feed	Gold	FP/Gold Ratio
Ambrosia	5000	1200	4.17x
Double Cheeseburger Deluxe	3000	720	4.17x
Superburger	2000	480	4.17x
Grapes of Wrath	1500	360	4.17x
Chocolate Cream Sandwich Cookie	1111	240	4.63x
Power Pizza	750	180	4.17x
Great Taco	500	120	4.17x
Fries	250	60	4.17x
Soft Drink	100	20	5x

Some notes on efficiency

When looking to spend your precious Gold on pet food, you want the most efficient pet food possible. So, we need to find what is the most efficient at each pet rank, since the cost of feeding pets increases with each rank. The most efficient food in a particular ratio is, therefore, the most powerful and expensive since the ratios lower mush more slowly. As we can see, the highest FP items in the 3 ratios are 5x:

Soft Drink (100/20) 4.63x:

Chocolate Cream Sandwich Cookie (1111/240) 4.17x:

Ambrosia (5000/1200) So let's look at these for a moment.

Soft Drink: Ah yes. An absurdly high FP/Gold ratio, and so cheap too! Or is it? People sometimes forget to factor in the cost of feeding.

Pet Rank	Item cost + Feed Cost	Adjusted Ratio (FP/Total)
Common	20 + 5	100 / 25 (4x)
Uncommon	20 + 10	100 / 30 (3.33x)
Rare	20 + 30	100 / 50 (2x)
Legendary	20 + 60	100 / 80 (1.25x)
Divine	20 + 150	100 / 170 (0.58x)

The adjusted ratios are, at best, mediocre, and thanks to the increasing cost of feeding pets, it lowers sharply with every level. In other words, this food item is (predictably) the worst one.

Chocolate Cream Sandwich Cookie: The next candidate for an efficient food item is the only other food item with a better base ratio than Ambrosia. It's the Oreo! No, not that one. Let's see where this food item works.

Pet Rank	Item cost + Feed Cost	Adjusted Ratio (FP/Total)
Common	250 + 5	1111 / 255 (4.36x)
Uncommon	250 + 10	1111 / 260 (4.27x)
Rare	250 + 30	1111 / 280 (3.97x)
Legendary	250 + 60	1111 / 310 (3.58x)
Divine	250 + 150	1111 / 400 (2.78x)

It maintains its high feed ratio through Common and Uncommon, being stronger than even base-level Ambrosia. It maintains this edge through Rare. It's still a decent choice up through Legendary if you're not buying Ambrosia (since the cookie itself is a lot cheaper), though it comes at the cost of a little efficiency compared to Ambrosia. Once you hit Divine, though, it's too inefficient to bother with.

Ambrosia: This is the single most powerful legally obtainable (Admin Sword has more) feeding item in the game. With a whopping 5000 feed power and 4.17x base ratio, it is efficient at all levels and maintains efficiency well. It comes with the highest cost of a feed-only item in the game at $10 of gold per item, but at higher ranks like Legendary and Divine, it's worth it.

Pet Rank	Item cost + Feed Cost	Adjusted Ratio (FP/Total)
Common	1200 + 5	5000 / 1205 (4.15x)
Uncommon	1200 + 10	5000 / 1210 (4.13x)
Rare	1200 + 30	5000 / 1230 (4.07x)
Legendary	1200 + 60	5000 / 1260 (3.97x)
Divine	1200 + 150	5000 / 1350 (3.71x)

As you see, cookies are more efficient at Common and Uncommon. It's also prohibitively expensive for Rare, even though it's somewhat more efficient than cookies. But, if you're serious about maxing pets, Ambrosia is seriously recommended. You'll need the feed power. So, if you're paying money to feed pets, use cookies until you finish maxing Rare, then switch to Ambrosia for Legendary or Divine. The other items are simply too inefficient to bother using and CCS Cookies are cheap enough so that you can get them even with $5 of gold at a time.
