Dog Food in Canada

HEADLINES

PROSPECTS

Internet retailing continues to shake up dog food distribution

Greater popularity of smaller dogs drives specialised product development

COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE

Nestlé and Mars continue to lead, despite specialist brands’ focus on super-premium, therapeutic and niche demand

Shifts in distribution observed as more owners seek out the convenience and discounts offered by internet retailing

US dog food manufacturers retain their position although Canadian manufacturers are finding increasing favour amongst dog owners
