Competitive Landscape
Leading Companies Adapt Premium Strategies Amid Shifting Shares and Competition
The dog food market in the Czech Republic remains moderately concentrated with Mars Czech sro holding the leading position, commanding a retail value share of 16% in 2025, although this represents a slight decline from previous years. Nestlé Cesko sro maintains the second position with a share of 15% in 2025, supported by its strong presence in premium segments through brands like Pro Plan, which have sustained consumer interest despite a slight overall market contraction.
Vafo Group Acquisition Expands Growth Avenues for Players

This strategic move enhances Vafo’s distribution capabilities across central and eastern Europe, providing a stronger platform for expanding its brands and increasing market penetration.
