The India Pet Food Market size is estimated at USD 0.85 billion in 2024 and is expected to reach USD 1.87 billion by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 17.08% during the forecast period (2024-2029). -Modor Intelligence
“Our pups love to have pupcakes, ice creams, pizzas. We order them at least once or twice a month. Our cats are fond of fresh tuna and prawns treats”
Akanksha Sinha, 26, Bengaluru-based pet parent
To keep in mind:
“Pet treats and snacks should only make up 10% of their entire food consumption in a day. On an average, a breed weighing less than 10kgs can have three-four biscuits in a day, a larger breed – up to 20 kgs – can have seven-eight” – Dr Deesha, a Pune-based veterinarian
“Ordering a cake is a must for birthdays. It’s also a tradition to order Lucie a pizza when I have one, which is at least once a month.”
