Dog Owners Going Premium Dog Food

More and More Dog Owners Going Premium

Premium dog food sales are expected to grow nearly 30% by 2009 according to the Euromoniter International report Pet Food and Pet Care in the USA.

Eric Combelles, head of pet food and pet care research at Euromonitor said that pet owners are expected to continue to choose premium dog foods over other brands and that Americans will pay more for dog foods with health-associated benefits. Some of the growing areas of dog foods include weight loss and weight maintenance diets.

One of the more interesting findings of the report was that Greenies had surpassed Milk Bone as the largest US dog treat brand by dollar sales.
