#5849 The Pesach Pet Project
Question
Kvod Harav.
I have a few pets in my house that usually need grain food. Can I feed my pets with Kitniyot (grains)? Should one sell his pet animal that can only eat kitniyos and feed it also food that one sold to a Gentile?
Answer
The preferred and desirable way to take care of your pets that need that kind of food is to find or create a replacement nutrient that is permitted, which is common in our days, when done in time to order it or prepare it.
You may also ask a Gentile friend or neighbor to take care of your pet.
