Dog food refers to commercially prepared foods for dogs that comprises nutrients, such as proteins, minerals, vitamins and carbohydrates. Widely available in dry (kibble), wet and semi-moist forms, it is fortified using various ingredients, including oatmeal, potatoes, pea protein, sugar-based sweeteners, bone meal, chicken liver chunks and sugar-based sweeteners. It provides proper nutrition required by dogs for maintaining an appropriate weight, a lustrous coat and adequate energy levels. Apart from this, good quality dog food also helps in regulating digestion, strengthening bones and muscles, and boosting the immune system of pet dogs.
GCC Dog Food Market Trends:
The market is primarily driven by the increasing adoption rates of dogs as pets in the GCC region. Moreover, a significant rise in the expatriate population in the region, along with the growing number of nuclear families, has resulted in an increased preference for pets as companions, especially dogs. Apart from this, manufacturers are introducing several premium products made from organic raw materials and natural flavorings in the market. Consumption of these formulations reduces the chances of allergic reactions and skin diseases among pets, owing to which they are increasingly being preferred by pet owners in the region. The advent of multigrain and gluten-free dog food variants, inflating income levels of the majority of the population, and the rising trend of pet humanization are some of the other factors contributing to the market growth. On account of the aforementioned factors, the market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.6% during 2024-2032.
