Carrot
The Carrot is a 
Tier 5 Food, available in the 
Star Pack. Feeding a pet a Carrot will give it the Carrot perk. A pet with the Carrot perk will gain +1 attack and +1 health at the end of turn.
Strategy
The Carrot is a direct upgrade of 
Croissant and 
Cucumber, being essentially the fusion of both. It gives a constant scaling source for non-self scaler without demanding a slot on the team, consuming a perk slot instead. The earlier you get it on a pet the better so you can get maximum stats before swapping it for a better perk for battle like 
Pepper or 
Popcorn. However it can stay indefinitely on pets that replace perks during battle like 
Reindeer.
Like the other scaling perks it is also very good with pets like 
Turtle and 
Tahr and perk giving toys like 
Air Palm Tree and 
Peanut Jar that can give in battle value after Carrot triggered its end of turn effect, and on a 
Panther it can get the same stats as a 
Praying Mantis with no drawbacks.
It also has an worthy interaction with 
Panda since any other in battle perk will be almost completely denied by it's ability, making it basically free scaling that can get multiplied by it's level 3. However, if you have a 
Siberian Husky or a 
Stegosaurus it should be avoided as the trade off is not worth it.
