Pet Food
Pet food is a cornerstone of the UK pet retail industry, driving both in-store footfall and long-term customer loyalty. Our coverage tracks the latest product launches across dog, cat, small animal, avian, and aquatic nutrition — from premium kibble and wet food to raw, freeze-dried, and functional formulations. We report on wholesale and distributor trends, pricing dynamics, supply chain issues, shifting consumer demand (including grain-free, insect-based, and plant-led diets), and regulatory developments impacting importers and stockists. Whether you’re a local pet shop, a multi-site retailer, or a petcare wholesaler, this tag delivers commercial insight into the fast-moving pet food category.
