This pet food recipe has been carefully designed to give balanced nutrition to almost any creature native to the island. Includes plant fibers to help with digestion and egg to bind the mix.

• Favorite kibble has higher affinity, allowing faster tame and better stats.
  
• Each dinosaur has their own individual kibble that has the maximum effectiveness.
  
• Using the wrong kibble will be less efficient than using the dino's regular food, and instead decrease the taming effectiveness.
  
• The favorite kibble fills up 80 points of food, except for the Bronto that's 53.33.
  
• Non-favorite kibble fills up 90 points of food and gives only 1/8 of the taming progress than the favorite kibble.

• NOTE Scorpions have a X2 speed for SPOILED MEAT and a 3/5 for Effectiveness.

• Quick Note, these are all for level 120 perfect tames! :D
  
  
• Do note that you should BRING EXTRA KIBBLE just incase the worst happens.
  
  
• Another note, if the level is less than 120 take the level of it divided by 120 then multiply that number by the required perfect tame for your taming speed and always round up to find how much kibble you need
