The pet food market in Italy concluded 2016 with a business volume of 1.971 million euros (an increase of 2.7% compared with the previous year) and sales of 559,200 tonnes (+1.3%) of cat and dog food, which represent the main segments of the sector.

This market serves a significant population of pets. In total there are over 60 million pets in Italy including an estimated 7 million dogs, approximately 7.5 million cats, almost 30 million fish, 12.9 million birds, 1.8 million small mammals (including rodents and rabbits) and 1.3 million reptiles.
