Market Overview

The pet food market in Russia is represented by the whole industry, starting from the manufacturing and continuing through the distribution and sales of food products that are designed for domestic pets like cats, dogs, birds, fish, and small mammals. The applications cover households, veterinary clinics, pet shops, and online stores, all of which respond to the trend of an increasing number of pets and the growing consumer awareness of proper pet nutrition and wellness.

The government support for domestic manufacturing and import substitution initiatives is the backbone of the pet food market in Russia, where 98% of pet food is produced locally (1.4 million tons in 2023). The adoption of mandatory labeling requirements (October 2024 for dry, March 2025 for wet food), along with quality control inspections carried out by the Russian Veterinary and Phytosanitary Inspection Agency (Rosselkhoznadzor) provide safety and transparency, thus increasing consumer trust and aiding the growth of the local industry.

Some of the most recent developments in the pet industry are the January 2025 merger of Balchug Capital and Raduga, which increased the production of high-quality pet food in the country, and the October 2024 decision of the government to require labels for all wet and dry pet food, which has made the market more transparent. The domestic production has also increased, as over 200 new brands went into the market in 2024. The future of the pet industry is in premium-rich nutrition, health-centric compositions, and local production of pet food to meet the demand created by the increase in pet ownership.
