The vegan pet food market is expected to nearly double in value by 2034, reaching approximately $19.7 billion. Consumers are becoming more aware of the animal welfare, environmental, and health concerns associated with traditional meat-based pet food, prompting them to consider plant-based options for their companion animals. While dogs currently account for the majority of the vegan pet food market, there is increasing acceptance and options available for cats as well.

Plant-based and cultivated meat-based pet foods are becoming more common for dogs, with options like Wild Earth's "Unicorn Pate" and Omni and Meatly's cultivated cat food providing complete and nutritious alternatives for feline companions. By transitioning to vegan pet food, consumers can help reduce the environmental impact of traditional pet food, which is a co-product of the meat industry and contributes to animal cruelty, environmental damage, and greenhouse gas emissions. Ultimately, the growth of the vegan pet food market reflects a shift towards more ethical and sustainable choices for pet owners.
