What Are The Core Factors Supporting Growth In The Vegan Dog Food Market?
The rise in the amount of pets is predicted to boost the expansion of the market for vegan dog food. Pet population means the count of pets in a specific region or demographic. Vegan dog foods typically contain fewer fats and calories than regular meat-based diets, and they provide a more sustainable, allergy-safe, and possibly healthier food alternative for dogs. This could be advantageous for dogs that need to maintain their weight or require certain diets to help tackle issues such as obesity. For instance, HealthforAnimals, an organization based in Europe, reported in September 2022 that Australia's pet count rose from 28.5 million to 30.4 million in 2021. Furthermore, according to the European Pet Food Industry's 2022 data, the total pet population in Europe climbed from 309 million in 2021 to 346 million. The number of dogs adopted went up from 92 million in 2021 to 104 million in 2022. Thus, the escalating pet population is fueling the vegan dog food market's growth.

It is slowly baked at reduced temperatures to retain the ingredient integrity, flavour, and nutritional content.
