Feeding pets in Ride A Pet offers a straightforward way to accelerate their experience gain and level progression. Different food types provide varying EXP amounts, so picking the right one makes a tangible difference.
The gameplay feels rewarding but can be resource-heavy if not thoughtfully managed, especially when late-game eggs and food supplies are limited. Prioritizing top pets with expensive foods avoids wasting cash on less important ones.
Before buying, check your current cash and stock since Tim’s Food Shop refreshes every few minutes and carries a limited selection. Having pets placed at your ranch or riding them is necessary for feeding to work.
All Food Items Available in Ride A Pet
Foods are the primary means to upgrade pets’ levels in Ride A Pet. However, since each food has a cash cost and limited availability, save the more valuable items for your strongest pets. Stockpile foods if you aren’t equipped with the necessary late-game eggs yet.
The table below summarizes the complete list of food items, their purchase price, rarity, and the EXP they provide per feeding:
| Food | Price | Rarity | EXP Gain |
|---|---|---|---|
| Grass | 10 Cash | Rare | 500 |
| Bone | 1,500 Cash | Epic | 10,000 |
| Meat | 30,000 Cash | Legendary | 100,000 |
| Magic Apple | 7,000,000 Cash | Mythic | 300,000 |
| Dragonfruit | 30,000,000 Cash | Ethereal | 1,000,000 |

How to Feed Your Pets for Maximum EXP
Feeding pets adds EXP and levels them up, but they must be inside your ranch or mounted for feeding to work. Once you have your pets hatched and ready, here’s how to feed them effectively:
- Open your inventory and select the food item you wish to use.
- Approach the pet and interact to feed the food.
- The pet instantly gains the EXP amount shown for that food.
- Feeding can be done whether the pet is placed at the ranch or currently being ridden.
- Repeat feeding to continue increasing your pet’s experience and level.
Note that pets equipped in your hotbar cannot receive food until physically placed or ridden. It’s best to pick your strongest pet first before feeding costly items.
- Open your inventory and select the food you want.
- Approach the pet and interact to feed it.
- The food adds its listed EXP amount to your pet.
- You can also feed a pet while riding it.
- Continue using food whenever you want to increase its EXP.
Pets in your hotbar cannot receive food until you place them inside your base or ride them. We suggest you equip the best, then feed the items.
