Depends on the food.
Dry Food: First, the dry ingredients are mixed and ground down together to make a course flour. Then the dry ingredients are mixed with the wet ingredients which includes animal fat, meat, water and pressurized steam. The hot water and steam begins the cooking process and the fats help the mixture to become a dough.
The dough is fed through a machine called an Extruder. The dough is fed through small tubes (that are also pressurized and heated so the ingredients cook further) and the dough is fed out the other end and cut into kibble pieces.
Next the kibble is thrown into "dyers" where the kibble is dried and becomes hardened. Synthetically-formulated nutrients are now sprayed on (the extreme cooking temperature kill all naturally occurring nutrients), along with flavour enhancers in the form of liquids or powders. The kibble is then dried again and then put into bags to be shipped off to distributors.
Wet Food: Fresh meat is shipped to pet food manufacturers, and all the ingredients are mixed and coursely ground for the desired texture. The meat is then cooked.
When the food is in the cans, the cans are sterilised by passing them through a heating chamber. The cans are heated to about 250°F (121°C) for 80 minutes (human food such as baked beans are also cooked and sterilised in the same manner). Finally the cans are cooled, dried, labelled and shipped off.
