You get the same meat from just killing, it does not require skinning. You also get plenty of pet-friendly food from non-skinnable mobs. But the question posed is not about where to get food for your pets, it's about how to manage pet happiness, and as mend pet is a minor glyph, it is WELL worth getting for a multi-boxer who doesn't want to have to manage pet happiness while leveling up. You sacrifice nothing by using the mend pet glyph, as being a multiboxer makes almost all other minor glyphs irrelevant.

I do pet feed the easy way (for me)
Code:
/cast Pet Feed
/use Food Name

I know, I was just offering a solution that helps with happiness and makes you money. Instead of a solution that cost money. But either way works I suppose. Plus I think skinning is a good profession to have as a hunter. I dont know.

I like to have each gathering skill present on each team.
So one skinner, one herbalist, and one miner.
I like to have an enchanter per team too, for instance drops which are not upgrades, in case the DE value exceeds the vendor value.
That said, in general gathering skills are great for money, when you don't have much.
But once you have a fair bit, production skills make you more.
And as a boxer, massing the transmute skills is good too; I'm making an average of 4k gold a day from alchemy transmutes + jewelcrafting.

i've got plenty of keys to spare, so i keep food on one button and 'feed pet' on an separate button. just hit the feed pet key, then the food you want to feed them. this way incase i need to park my hunters and feed them, mostly after a wipe/rez, i can do so without having to fish for the food in their bags. i keep the glyph and talents for extra happiness so their happiness never goes down unless they die and i have to rez them. the way the changed up that whole deal was removing the loyal part. used to you had to keep your pets happy or else they would actually turn on you, attack you, then leave you, forcing you to retrain an new pet. since the introduction of spirit pets, or may have been way before that, people that went afk with their pets out for long periods suffered this, as well as those that spent days/weeks/months tryin to train rare pets. so now, your pet's only lose damage to their attacks instead of leaving you. but get the talents and glyph, and toss mend pet on them every once in a while when you're not fighting. also remember to feed them after they die and you rez them. i've got three hunters on /follow, so tracking their happiness is difficult right now. but i can still see they stay in the green zone.
