18 top Latin American pet food companies in 2023

Latin America has one of the fastest-growing pet food markets. Although differences exist among the more than 30 nations of Latin America, the region has seen a dramatic cultural shift in the role of pets. In a single generation, dogs and cats went from guards and mousetraps to coddled fur babies and family members. As occurred in many other regions of the world, table scraps were no longer adequate as humanization fueled premiumization. Mexican pet owners became more aware of dogs’ and cats’ specific nutritional needs and demanded products to meet those needs. Urbanization and a rising standard of living have also changed the dynamic of pet ownership, pushing people towards cats and smaller dogs while spending more of those pets. This growth has helped the following 18 Latin American pet food companies that are listed in Petfood Industry’s Top Pet Food Companies database. The data below is divided by nation and provides the companies’ 2023 annual revenue, if available.
