In the first three months of 2022, various new consumables for dogs and cats appeared on the market. More than 30 new dog, cat and other pet foods, treats and supplements were posted in Petfood Industry’s Pet Food Product Database in the first quarter of 2022. Among those new products, treats were common, many with functional ingredient claims. Cat foods also accounted for several of the new products, perhaps meeting a pent-up demand for cat foods, which David Sprinkle, director of pet market research for Packaged Facts, discussed in his Dec. 2019 Petfood Industry column. Numerous new dog and cat products included cannabidiol (CBD), especially supplements.
