Report Description and Highlights Global Dog Food Market to Grow At A CAGR Of 4% during 2016-2021 Dogs today represent the most preferred pets across the globe. They make the best companion for humans and are perceived to be the most loyal, affectionate and intelligent animals. It has been found in a study that compared to non-dog owners, dog owners tend to be more outgoing and energetic, suffer less from depression, have slightly less cholesterol, lower blood pressure, lower stress levels and better heart health.

With rise in trends like pet humanisation, dog owners have started treating their dogs as family members.

Similar to human food trends, the focus of the pet food industry is also shifting towards health and wellness solutions. Moreover, pet premiumisation has led dog owners to demand the best food for their pets. This has evolved beyond the standards such as flavours and taste as dog owners now want products with high nutritional benefits, good quality ingredients and high manufacturing standards. Most of the store-bought dog food is prepared by feed grade (animal grade) ingredients and are available in different forms.
