Not unless you are extremely good at handling large unpredictable animals. I have dealt with buffalo (bison is the proper scientific name) and while at times they are in fact very gentle they also are prone to aggressive behavior. They are much like toddlers in a 800 lb to 2000+ lb body and as such even the slightest tantrum can cause significant damage to person and property. Having said that, I'd have to conclude that no a buffalo is not good for a pet, but never the less there are those who have ventured to do it and trained their "pets" even to the point of one I know of being house broken.

The American bison (commonly miscalled the American buffalo) can be raised domestically. Most bison meat is now harvested from bison raised for the purpose much like beef cows. As a "homeowner" pet they are not recommended as they are prone to aggressive behavior.

What is a good pet company that sells healthy pet food?

This question can be debatable, because every time a so-called "healthy" dog food comes to the market there is controversy about it. It is probably better for you to make your own dog food. That being said, companies that claim to have healthy pet food happen to be Science Diet, Blue Buffalo and Iams.
