  • Pet Care Market Offers Opportunity for Food Producers
    FOOD EXPORT ASSOCIATION OF THE MIDWEST USA®/FOOD EXPORT USA®-NORTHEAST February/March 2017 The bi-monthly newsletter for importers of U.S. foods Vol. 13 No. 1 Pet Care Market Offers Opportunity for Food Producers The pet food market is “exciting” compared to human food and other consumer product markets, according to Susquehanna Financial Group analyst Pablo Zuanic. At the same time, the trend toward natural and premium pet food is disrupting the industry’s traditional leaders. Food companies such as Mars Inc., Nestle and J.M. Smucker Co. are also working to gain market share in the pet food industry. They are currently focusing on specialty products such as grain-free dog food and delicatessen-inspired cat food, and Mars’ focus on clinics and surgery may help it stand out from its rivals in the business. The company is working to diversify outside of its candy business, acquiring veterinary and dog daycare company VCA Inc. for $7.7 billion. The move brings the company deeper into pet care, expanding its offerings to cover products and services from food to surgery, reported The Wall Street Journal (Jan. 10). Nestle currently holds the biggest dollar share of the cat and dog food markets with offerings including Purina Pro Plan, Purina Dog Chow, Friskies, Beneful and Purina ONE, giving it 66.8% and 41.1% shares, respectively. J.M. Smucker has the largest share of the pet treat market at 31.8%. In comparison, Mars holds 7% of the cat food market, 29.3% of the dog food market and 20.2% of the pet treat market.

  • Banfield Pet Hospital
    BANFIELD PET HOspital® State of Pet Health 2013 Report Due to the fact that dogs and cats age much faster than humans—one year for a human is roughly five to seven years for a dog or cat—it is especially important that pet owners understand the potential factors that may impact how long their pet lives. The lifespan of a dog or cat can be impacted by various factors including genetics, whether or not a dog or cat is spayed or neutered, the amount of preventive veterinary care received and, of course, breed type and size. The geographic location where a pet lives may also impact his or her lifespan due to preventable diseases plaguing certain parts of the United States. Preventable diseases such as heartworm disease and Lyme disease are life-threatening and may play a role in a reduced lifespan in certain areas of the country such as the Northeast (Lyme disease) and the Southeast (heartworm disease). Heartworm infection is one of the top three conditions or diagnoses for pets seen in Banfield hospitals in the Southern states including Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama, among others. These three Southern states had the shortest lifespan for dogs in 2012—Louisiana and Mississippi were also the bottom two states for lifespan in cats. Lifespan estimates are based on age at euthanasia for Banfield patients > 1 year of age. breed chart cat toy/small medium large giant Dogs and cats can be prone to certain diseases based on their breed. average weight: 10 lbs weight: <20 lbs weight: 20-50 lbs weight: 50-90 lbs weight: >90 lbs For dogs, breed size can also put them at an increased risk for certain average lifespan: 12.1 yrs average lifespan: 11.3 yrs average lifespan: 10.8 yrs average lifespan: 11.1 yrs average lifespan: 8 yrs diseases and have a significant impact on their overall lifespan.
