Etymology

The word 'kibble' has its origins in the 18th century, where it was used in Scotland to refer to small round balls, particularly of food. The term is derived from the Scots word 'kibble,' which means 'to cut or to break into small pieces.' Over time, the meaning evolved and began to be associated specifically with the prepared dry food for pets. As home pet ownership grew in the 20th century, so did the popularity of kibble as a convenient feeding option for dogs and cats. Manufacturers developed processes to create kibble that was nutritionally complete, leading to the formulation of various types and flavors of kibble found in stores today. The modern-day kibble has become a staple in many households due to its ease of storage and serving.
