Executive summary

A growing market with good potential

The pet food and pet care products market in the Czech Republic continues to grow dynamically. The number of dog and cat owners feeding their pets with prepared food (with more pet owners combining wet and dry food) is increasing. Pet food and pet care products on offer in the Czech Republic are wide ranging and colourful. However, unlike in developed European countries, the percentage share of prepared food relative to the cat and dog population is low. Consequently, the potential for volume and value growth is promising.

Cats less common than dogs but becoming more popular

Dog food accounted for the majority of value sales in 2007. The number of dogs in the Czech Republic is almost double the number of cats. The number of cats is relatively high compared to neighbouring countries (in Slovakia, for example, the number of dogs exceeds the number of cats by more than four times). Cats are popular with retired single people (mostly women) and two-person households without children. People in the latter group have busy lifestyle and tend to work late, and do not have time to walk a dog regularly.

Aquariums become the new hobby

Dogs and cats remain the most popular pets in the Czech Republic. The number of other pets continues to decline. The most popular other pets are fish. A new trend in the Czech Republic is the boom in keeping aquariums – at home, in shopping malls and in offices.

Supermarkets/hypermarkets is the leading distribution channel but pet shops gain popularity

Supermarkets/hypermarkets was the leading distribution channel for dog and cat food in 2007. In other pet food and pet care products, pet shops was the leading distribution channel. Pet shops are still very popular with pet owners as they employ staff who can give advice and make recommendations. Pet shops in shopping centres are popular among consumers for their special price offers and discounts. Pet kennel clubs, pet salons, pet hotels and pet farms are also becoming important distribution outlets for dog and cat food, as well as being places where people can seek advice about pet food.

Domestic companies challenge international brands

Dog and cat food remained relatively consolidated in 2006, with the top four producers accounting for majority of value sales. The leading multinationals, Master Foods Ks and Nestlé Purina PetCare CR, enjoyed a significant share of value sales thanks to their early entry, wide product portfolios and strong advertising. Provimi Pet Food CZ spol sro and KSK Bono sro remained the most successful domestic companies.
