    Kibble is dry food for dogs or cats, pressed into small hard bits that you pour from a bag into a bowl. People say kibble when they want to tell it apart from wet food in a tin. It is everyday American English; in Britain people often just say dry food. You do not use kibble for food that people eat. Though actually there is an old verb to kibble, meaning to crush something into bits, but that is not the meaning on a pet-food bag.

    乾飼料、飼料顆粒(對罐頭那種)
