Pet Center, Inc., a longtime leader in high-quality dog treats, today released a summary of major trends shaping how people feed and care for their dogs, interpreting what these developments mean for everyday pet owners — and offering practical actions you can take immediately.
“High-quality products that are healthy for dogs should always come first,” said Pet Center, Inc. “We judge our success by our own standards — quality, consistency, and integrity — and we want every dog owner to make informed choices for their pet.”
Here’s what the latest pet market and nutrition data show — and why it matters to you and your dog.
1. The Dog & Pet Treat Market Is Bigger (and Health-Focused) Than Ever
• Plain takeaway:
Dogs aren’t just pets- they’re family. More and more owners want treats that help keep their dogs healthy, not just tasty. The pet treats industry is growing fast, showing how important pets are in people’s lives.
“Growth typically comes from increased sales,” the Pet Center team says, “but growing by cutting corners doesn’t help dogs or their families. Treats made with good ingredients, careful sourcing, and proper safety checks keep pets healthy and owners happy.”
2. Pet Owners Prioritize Health - but Knowledge Gaps Still Exist
• A large majority of dog owners consider their pet’s health equal to or even more important than their own — and nearly all veterinarians agree diet plays a crucial role in longevity and wellness. Plain-language takeaway: What you feed your dog matters — and many owners are ready to act, but need clear, trustworthy information. “We carry only the best available products,” said Pet Center, “and owners should look closely at ingredient lists, sourcing, and nutritional purpose.”
3. Demand for Transparency & Clean Ingredients Is Rising
• Across the industry, pet parents want natural, functional, and transparent treat options — from grain-free or plant-rich ingredients to dental or mobility-support treats that offer real benefits. Plain-language takeaway: Treats are no longer “extras”; they’re part of your dog’s nutrition and well-being. You deserve to know what’s inside them.
4. Distribution & Shopping Habits Are Evolving
• Pet product shopping is shifting toward online channels, while specialty stores and distribution networks must adapt to changing consumer expectations. Plain-language takeaway: You have more options than ever. But more choice means you need to evaluate quality — not just convenience or price.
