Pets need to eat just as much as Sims do. Luckily, they're not nearly as demanding about when or what to consume. To feed pets, there are two options. The best way is to buy a [[Food bowl|pet bowl]]. Pet bowls can be bought in the Pet subsort of the Miscellaneous sort of [[Buy Mode]]. ''[[The Sims: Unleashed]]'' includes two pet bowls, and many [[Custom content|custom]] bowls have been made as well. Many of these simply add colors and styles, but some have been modified so that the [[maid]] will fill them or so that they will refill themselves. In ''[[The Sims 2: Pets]]'' pet bowls come in three designs, and each design has multiple styles and colors.

Alternately, pets can eat human food as well. If a plate is nearby, a pet may help himself to it. Pets won't get sick from eating human food, but it's far more expensive in the long term to feed pets this way.

Once a pet bowl is bought, simply command a Sim to fill it. Ten simoleons will be deducted from the household account automatically, and the bowl will be filled right then. A single pet can eat for several days on one fill. In ''Pets'', only one pet can eat from the bowl at a time, so multiple bowls are needed for multiple pets. In ''Unleashed'', two pets can eat from a bowl at the same time, but since the neighborhood strays are more likely to come around to eat food Sims put out for their pets, multiple bowls is still a good idea.
