He's level 29, and level 15 meat doesn't keep him satisfied very long. It's the level 25 meat that does. As far as cooked foods are concerned, I know several lvl 70 hunters and they all swear by cooked foods for their pets. I was just going by what I have found to be true with my pet.

I was brought up (as a hunter) to look at required level, but when I started testing this I realized that it's actually item level that's affecting the happiness gain. (At low levels especially they aren't quite synched, so I found some foods with odd item levels to test.) I really do wish Blizzard would expose the data we need to make these decisions in the base UI though! Yeah, it is an interesting thing with item level and required level.

All that matters is the item level. And cooked vs. vendor doesn’t matter. All that matters is the item level.

So Messyah's example is incorrect -- the level 15 meat from the vendor (Mutton Chops) are actually "item level" 25, and will give your wolf the maximum 35/tick happiness until it is level 35.

The trick is to get your pet food that is within their dietary preference and their level. If you have a level 25 pet and you feed it a level 15 meat, it simply won't cut the mustard. If you want a simple pet to feed, get a boar. They eat just about anything and everything (again, within their level, of course.) Another tip: Work on your cooking. I have found that pets like cooked foods even more. They may not get the well fed bonuses, but it seems to raise their happiness a great deal. Plus, when you get to Outlands (Zangarmarsh), you can learn how to make <i>Sporeling Snacks</i> which <b>is</b> a well-fed food for pets. (20 Stamina I believe. Maybe 20 Spirit as well.)

I work nights, so I can only play during the day, which seems to be full of a disproportional amount of ill-mannered children who delight in giving totally inaccurate answers to a new-to-WOW player. If I'd had this info then... well let's just say I wouldn't have switched to a warrior. How about creating a list of vendor foods and their actual item levels? It would be great to be able to plan ahead what food to stock up on as we go through the levels. I had just stocked up on mutton, only to have my owl level and not like mutton enough to make it worth while to carry anymore. Great site keep it up!

That half-sentence you found was supposed to be about how you can tell when your pet is full. And I've added a bit as you suggested about feeding when you've just barely hit green. Messyah: That's very odd. I have no idea why that might be the case. Just articles, eh? I'm sorry -- I have really no idea. Someone: Thanks!

It seems that any page you have on Petopia within the sub-directory of "articles" is blocked for me at work. It must be a key word trigger on our filtering system and it's quite the bummer. Any ideas? (This includes your new "Feeding your Pet" section.) Mania – I have a problem and I need your help.
