The pet food market has experienced positive and negative effects during the pandemic outbreak. The Covid-19 lockdown restrictions resulted in heavy purchases among the consumers leading to an increase in demand. On the other hand, to meet the sudden surge in demand, the companies have faced distribution and inventory issues along the supply chain. To meet the increasing demand there were production efficiency issues and supply chain disruptions for the required ingredients. Overall, the pet food industry in Canada has embraced the negative impacts and projecting positive growth in the future.

The increase of pet humanization, wherein pets are treated with increased care and hygiene, is proving to be a major driver for the market and is leading to major changes in product packing and resourcing of ethically viable products. The development of private label stores focusing on unique and locally sourced products to increase their overall appeal and the increasing density of nuclear families are the other major drivers of the market.
