Potential Multi-Billion-Dollar Growth Has Investor Tails Wagging Over Pet Food

The U.S. pet industry saw approx. $99 billion in sales in 2020. Of that, according to the American Pet Products Association (APPA), pet food and treats make up the biggest portion of the market at about $38.4 billion, followed by vet care at about $30.2 billion.

In addition, pet owners are seeking healthier alternatives for their pets. In fact, according to Qrill Pet, “Functional pet food ingredients that offer proven health benefits will most likely be a focal point of major pet food brands for the years to come. We foresee a rise in the number and variety of pet food choices highlighting the inclusion of nutraceutical ingredients such as probiotics, omega-3 fatty acids, vitamins etc. Including ingredients that are of high quality or even those of human-grade level will be a competitive advantage in this category.”

That’s a strong catalyst for companies, such as Freshpet Inc. (NASDAQ:FRPT), Chewy Inc. (NYSE:CHWY), Petco Health and Wellness Company (NASDAQ:WOOF), and Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN).

It’s Also a Solid Catalyst for Better Choice Company (OTC:BTTR)
