The report also cites data from Euromonitor International that says the pet population in Kenya, including cats, dogs, doves, pigeons and rabbits, grew by an average of 3% per year to more than 8 million in 2010. The report predicts Kenya's imports of petfood will continue to increase as pet ownership increases and consumers demand specific types of petfoods.
