To provide a pet food having crisp texture with high palatability and provide pet food of which the content can be readily identified by the keeper on the basis of the shapes of the food.

This dry pet food characteristically includes particulates inside where the particulates are coated with an outer layer. The dry pet food has a flat shape of 3-15 mm thickness. Relating to the production process for the dry pet food that includes particulates inside where the particulates are coated with an outer layer, the material for outer layer is introduced into an extruder 1 and the particulates and air are fed at an exit distal end 3 of the extruder 1 via the tube for continuously send the air and the particulates into the center of the outer layer material and they are extruded out, cut and dried. In the process described above, after the extrusion, the extruded product is rolled and cut.
