Additionally, with more pet owners working long hours or traveling frequently, there has been a rise in demand for convenient, ready-to-eat pet meals and treats. This shift towards healthier and more convenient options in the pet food market is influenced by a cultural emphasis on treating pets as valued members of the family.
