With more and more pets living to a ripe old age, nutritional supplements for pets have become a fast growing business, as pet owners seek out health products for their furry friends that mimic those they use for themselves. At the same time, the regulatory gray area surrounding supplements for companion animals continues to constrict the market, a situation the National Animal Supplements Council is working to change through a concerted push within the industry to self-regulate while moving toward formal categorical recognition for the products. This all-new report covers supplement products in traditional forms, such as pills and liquids, as well as newer, nutraceutical forms addressing the all-important issue of palatability, such as gravies and treats. Its primary focus is on products for horses, dogs, and cats, but coverage also extends to other types of companion animals, including horses, birds, small animals, and herptiles. The report charts historical sales and projections; analyzes marketing and new product trends; profiles key players such as Farnam and Virbac; and examines detailed Simmons Market Research Bureau consumer data on pet owners’ purchasing of pet supplements vis-à-vis number of pets owned, purchasing venues, other types of pet products purchased, and attitudes about health, as well as in relation to human supplement usage.

Information on new product introductions is derived from reports in the trade press and online, as well as detailed Productscan data from Marketing Intelligence Service, Ltd., Naples, New York.
