Morphology
The meaning 'food that is specially made for pets' is directly and compositionally derived from the constituents 'pet' (domesticated animal kept for companionship) and 'food' (substance consumed to live and grow). This simple noun+noun compound follows an ordinary English composition pattern that is cross-linguistically common, so a B1 learner who knows both words will readily understand it.
Etymology
The noun pet food comes from the simple idea of pet + food: food made especially for animals people keep at home. That's why it means 'food for pets' today.
