The pet oral care products market is projected to expand due to the high rates of dental illnesses among pets. Dental diseases, encompassing a variety of conditions that cause discomfort, pain, and other health issues impacting the oral structures such as teeth, gums, and surrounding tissues in pets, are widespread. Pet oral care merchandise aids in the cleaning of the oral cavity, breath freshening, and upholding oral health, hence warding off dental ailments. For example, RSPCA Australia reported in September 2022 that dental diseases are the most common health concern for pets, touching 70% of cats and 80% of dogs by the age of three. Moreover, the Royal Veterinary College announced in March 2023 that periodontal disease is the most frequently discovered condition among cats in the UK. Their research showed that yearly, 15.2% of cats are diagnosed with the ailment, affecting nearly 1.8 million cats, with many instances potentially going unidentified. As a result, the high frequency of dental diseases in pets is boosting the expansion of the pet oral care products market.
