Kibbles 'n Bits (updated)

There are several special food items in the game that increase the stats of your pets. And not just hunter pets, but other pet types such as the warlock minions and mage's water elemental as well.

From the Sporeggar there is the Sporeling Snack created from Strange Spores that drop from sporebats and striders in Zangarmarsh. The snacks increase the Stamina and Spirit of your pet by 20 and last 30 minutes. Not too shabby.

And from the daily cooking quest you can get the recipe for Kibler's Bits. These are made from Buzzard Meat and increase the Strength and Spirit of your pet by 20 and also last for half an hour

These pet treats don't count as normal food that you can use with the "feed pet" skill of the hunter. They are "Use" items that will buff your current pet when right-clicked.

Apparently you can also use the food buff on Mind Controlled mobs, but doing so breaks the Mind Control since it counts as an action by you. I wonder if duelling someone to buff them with Strength would work. Something new to try out!

Update: Our guild's main tank complained about being abused in such a way and being treated like a pet, but sacrifices have to be made in the name of science. The result: He came out miffed at me, but strengthened by the experience!
