Pet Nutrition Goes to the Next-Level

Are you a pet owner looking for pet foods with more nutritional benefits and less environmental impact? Unfortunately, with the long list of additives and chemicals on the pet food product labels, it’s hard to know what your dog or cat is eating. The good news is that pet nutrition has gone to the next level with improvements for 2022 and beyond.

The latest trends have seen a move towards natural and organic ingredients free of harmful chemicals such as fertilizers, pesticides, antibiotics, artificial coloring, and by-products. According to a recent pet food market research report, in 2021, the global natural pet food market was valued at $25 billion and is expected to reach over $37 billion by 2027. Similarly, the global organic pet food market was S1,858 million in 2021 and is expected to reach $3,494 million by 2027.

Organic foods are healthier and more beneficial for your pets. They boost immunity, reduce skin conditions, minimize digestive disorders, maintain a healthy weight, and increase life expectancy.

Insects are used in dog foods as alternative sources of proteins. Compared to meat from livestock production, insect harvesting is more humane and eco-friendly — using less land and water and emitting fewer greenhouse gases. In addition, insect-based foods are great for pets with sensitivities and allergies.
