Why are We Seeing Demand Growth of Hypoallergenic Dog Food?

“Human & Pet Trend Crossover Continues to Drive Demand for Hypoallergenic Dog Food”

Limited ingredient diets have become more recognizable and transparent to alleviate dog allergies. According to veterinary data, approximately 20%-30% of dogs are being diagnosed with allergic skin disease, pruritus, and atopic dermatitis. They also suffer from adverse food reactions (CAFRs) and food allergies (FAs).

These allergies are being prevented by hypoallergenic products and ingredients, which is thereby driving demand for them. Hypoallergenic diets hold mass appeal and are anticipated to witness popularity over the coming years.

There has been increasing demand for digestive wellness, added proteins, and plant-based products. For instance, more than 80% of European dog food buyers look out for digestive wellness to improve overall health.

Thus, with dog owners becoming more conscious of dog food, they are placing enhanced demand for hypoallergenic, plant-based, and highly digestible dog foods, and to fulfill this, manufacturers are incorporating rice proteins in dog food.

“Limited Ingredient Diet (LID) to Support Market Growth in Years Ahead”

Dogs can suffer from sensitivities to the food that they eat, and so dog owners are limiting the ingredients causing discomfort to their dogs. They are looking for natural and simple diets as they do not want their dogs to suffer.

Consumers are shifting to grain-friendly diets from grain-free foods for dogs. With limited ingredient diets (LID), the grain-friendly bag of diet is full of fillers, which is attracting more pet owners.

Dog owners are bringing their dogs to the limited-ingredient diet category to identify possible protein allergies. They are therefore limiting the proteins and ingredients in the dog’s diet to identify issues with their dogs.

The market is witnessing enhanced demand for the protein of LID diets, both, that contain and do not contain grains, as consumers are realizing that allergies may not every time be linked to grains in dog food. This is estimated to propel demand for hypoallergenic dog food over the coming years.

What Issues are Hypoallergenic Dog Food Manufacturers Facing?

“Quality Issues and Product Recalls Restraining Market Growth”

The market for hypoallergenic dog food is facing challenges owing to contamination by the presence of microorganisms such as salmonella, mycotoxins, melamine, etc., coupled with fungal mycotoxins such as aflatoxin, found in dog food, which has led to food recalls over the past few years.

Presence of contaminants may lead to dog sickening, kidney problems, and sometimes even the death of dogs. This has eroded consumer confidence in hypoallergenic dog food to some extent.

Moreover, this issue has also led to enhanced regulatory involvement and procedures in the manufacturing of dog food products, thereby stepping up product manufacturing, quality systems, raw materials, etc. Thus, due to the above-listed factor of recalls, market growth of hypoallergenic dog food is expected to be restricted to some extent over the coming years.
