The pet food comprises a frozen homogeneous mixture of approximately one-third water and oil, approximately one-third minute gas bubbles and approximately one-third a mixture of a high protein source, animal fat, vitamins and minerals and peptizing and emulsifying agents therefor. The preferred oil is corn oil and the preferred protein source is dried whey, whey product, dried skim milk, casein and milk albumen. The pet food is made by grinding the high protein source, animal fat, emulsifying and peptizing agents, vitamins and minerals into very fine particles appropriate for forming a colloidal suspension in water, mixing the ground particles, oil and water, whipping air into the mixture, pouring the whipped mixture into individual serving sized containers and freezing the mixture.
