Dog Food
Dog food remains a dominant revenue driver across the UK pet retail sector, with evolving consumer preferences shaping what retailers stock and promote. Pet Gazette covers new product innovations in dry, wet, raw, gently cooked, freeze-dried, and functional dog food — including life-stage formulas and breed-specific options. We report on developments from manufacturers, pricing strategies at wholesale level, distribution partnerships, sustainability claims, and shifts in shopper behaviour. Coverage also includes import/export considerations, private label opportunities, and regulatory updates affecting those selling or supplying dog food in a commercial capacity.
