This trend is driven by a shift towards more holistic and mindful approaches to pet care, with pet owners looking for products made with high-quality, locally-sourced ingredients.

These trends present opportunities for pet food manufacturers to expand their product offerings and tap into the growing market. However, it also poses challenges for traditional pet food companies to adapt to changing consumer preferences and stay competitive in the market.
