Pet Supplements Market Summary

The global pet supplements market size was estimated at USD 2.76 billion in 2025 and is expected to reach USD 4.65 billion by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 6.9% from 2026 to 2033. The rising demand for the pet supplements market can be attributed to the rise in pet humanization, which has led to consumers spending significantly on pet food, supplements, and other related products to keep them active and healthy.

Supplements enhance concentration, focus, and energy levels in pets, strengthen their immune system, and improve heart health. Anti-stress, anti-anxiety, or calming supplements are also witnessing a high demand and are anticipated to gain further traction among pet owners. The pet supplements market is witnessing strong growth as pet ownership increases and pets are increasingly treated as integral members of the family. This “pet humanization” trend has fundamentally changed purchasing behavior, with pet parents prioritizing preventive healthcare, long-term wellness, and quality of life for their animals. Supplements are no longer viewed as occasional add-ons but as part of routine pet care, particularly for managing nutrition gaps, age-related conditions, and behavioral health concerns.

Pet parents today are highly mindful of the supplements they give to their pets, driven by increased awareness of pet nutrition and health outcomes. Increased access to veterinary guidance, online educational content, and peer reviews has made consumers more informed and cautious. Owners closely examine ingredient lists, dosage instructions, and safety claims, often seeking products that are free from artificial additives, fillers, and allergens. Transparency, clear labeling, and claims supported by veterinary recommendations or scientific rationale play a critical role in building trust and influencing purchase decisions.

A key demand driver is the shift toward preventive and functional health management. Pet parents are increasingly using supplements to proactively support joint health, digestion, immunity, skin and coat condition, cognitive health, and emotional well-being. Aging pet populations, particularly in developed markets, have further accelerated demand for mobility and joint supplements, while rising awareness of gut health has boosted interest in probiotics and digestive aids. These trends mirror broader human wellness behaviors, where supplements are used to maintain health rather than only address illness.

Pet supplements provide essential nutrients that help improve the immune system and reduce the risk of heart diseases, cancer, inflammation, and diabetes. In addition, these supplements, such as fish oil, biotin, and amino acids,improve skin health and enhance the ability to fight common problems, such as bacterial infection, itchy skin, and environmental allergies. They also improve cognitive development by providing antioxidants such as vitamin E, vitamin C, L-Carnitine, and Coenzyme Q-10.

Manufacturers are also focusing on multifunctional and condition-specific formulations, combining calming benefits with digestive, immune, or joint support to address multiple needs through a single product. Packaging innovation plays a supporting role, with resealable pouches, portion-controlled chews, clear dosage markings, and premium, human-grade packaging designs enhancing shelf appeal and perceived quality. For instance, in September 2025, Zenapet’s Cat Colostrum Plus is being relaunched as a daily powdered mix-in supplement for cats, formulated with bovine colostrum and other superfood ingredients to support immune function, healthy digestion, and skin and coat health. It is positioned as an easy-to-use wellness booster that can be sprinkled over regular cat food to help maintain overall vitality and resilience, particularly for cats facing immune, gut, or skin challenges.

Type Insights

Over-the-counter (OTC) pet supplements dominated the market and held the largest revenue share of 86.5% in 2025. Pet parents are becoming more proactive in managing common health concerns such as joint stiffness, digestive issues, skin and coat problems, anxiety, immunity, and age-related conditions without immediately resorting to prescription medications. This shift is supported by growing awareness of functional ingredients such as glucosamine, chondroitin, omega-3 fatty acids, probiotics, vitamins, and calming botanicals, which are perceived as safe, convenient, and suitable for long-term use. In addition, easier access through pet specialty stores, e-commerce platforms, and veterinary-adjacent retail channels has normalized supplement use as part of routine pet care.

Prescribed pet supplements are projected to register a CAGR of 6.9% in the market for pet supplements from 2026 to 2033. The market for prescribed pet supplements is rising as pet parents increasingly prioritize preventive healthcare and long-term wellness for their animals, driven by greater veterinary engagement and increased awareness of diet-related health issues. With pets living longer due to improved care, age-related conditions such as joint degeneration, digestive disorders, skin allergies, obesity, and immune deficiencies are becoming more common, prompting veterinarians to recommend targeted supplements alongside or in place of pharmacological treatments. Consumers perceive prescribed supplements as safer, clinically guided, and condition-specific, particularly when supported by veterinary diagnosis and clear dosing guidance.

Pet Type Insights

The dog supplements market accounted for the largest revenue share of 63.1% in 2025. The dog supplements are also expected to maintain dominance over the forecast period. Dogs are the most popular pets around the world, and the adoption rate of dogs is extremely high. According to the National Pet Owners Survey conducted by the American Pet Products Association, 69.0 million households in the U.S. own a dog. Companies have been introducing new supplements for dogs, which will further propel market growth over the forecast period. For instance, in August 2025, Earth Buddy introduced a new Liposomal Glutathione for Dogs, a first-of-its-kind supplement that uses a liposomal delivery system to enhance glutathione absorption and support canine liver health and detoxification. The product contains no hemp or CBD, expanding the brand’s offerings beyond its usual cannabis-based formulas and is made with organic, non-GMO ingredients, small-batch production, and third-party lab testing with COAs for purity and potency.

Cat supplements are projected to register a CAGR of 7.2% in the market for pet supplements from 2026 to 2033. People are increasingly adopting cats and using supplements for them as lifestyles shift toward low-maintenance companionship and preventive pet care. Cats are well-suited to urban living, smaller homes, and busy schedules, making them an attractive choice for first-time and working pet owners. As cat ownership rises, owners are becoming more attentive to long-term health management, especially for indoor and aging cats that are prone to issues such as digestive sensitivity, hairballs, urinary tract problems, joint stiffness, and skin and coat conditions. This has led to higher adoption of cat supplements formulated to support specific health needs rather than treating conditions reactively.

Form Insights

Chewables pet supplement accounted for a market share of 69.8% of global revenue in 2025. Various pet animals, including cats and dogs, have a hard time swallowing tablets/capsules, or just don’t like the sensation. In such cases, chewable supplements are an ideal form, as intuitively, animals are bound to chew any kind of food, which, in turn, is driving this segment’s growth. A huge benefit of chewable products is their ability to be absorbed in the stomach such as food. Chewing exposes the food to saliva, which contains digestive enzymes that break it down. The longer it is chewed, the more opportunity these enzymes have to deconstruct it.

The powdered form is expected to grow at a CAGR of 7.1% from 2026 to 2033. Supplements in powder form are absorbed more quickly than tablets or pills, are easy to consume, and can be easily mixed into foods and beverages. Such factors are expected to increase product visibility among animal owners, resulting in the growth of powder-based products over the forecast period. Key players offer a wide range of powder-based products. For instance, NOW Foods offers pet supplements in powder form that support cardiovascular system health in both cats and dogs.

Application Insights

Pet supplements for hip and joint health dominated the market and held the largest revenue share of 21.56% in 2025 and is expected to maintain its dominance over the forecast period. Excessive joint pains can lead to limping, stiffness, reluctance to do things, stress, and anxiety in pets, which can be serious health problems related to overall health. Many of the supplements pertaining to joints come with soothing ingredients such as glucosamine and chondroitin, which help protect the joints from severe wear and tear and also prevent arthritis. Several dogs and cats are given supplements containing omega-3 fatty acids, as these offer anti-inflammatory benefits. These factors are expected to drive the demand for supplements that address hip and joint issues.

Pet supplements for digestive health are expected to grow CAGR of 6.3% during the forecast period from 2026 to 2033. Digestive issues such as diarrhea, constipation, food sensitivities, bloating, and poor nutrient absorption are among the most commonly reported health concerns in both dogs and cats, often driven by processed diets, sudden food changes, stress, aging, and antibiotic use. As a result, consumers are proactively adopting digestive health supplements such as probiotics, prebiotics, digestive enzymes, and fiber blends to support gut balance, improve stool quality, enhance immunity, and reduce veterinary visits. This demand is further reinforced by veterinarian recommendations and the growing humanisation of pets, where owners apply human nutrition principles to animal care.

Distribution Channel Insights

Sales of pet supplements through the offline distribution channel dominated the market, accounting for a revenue share of 76.5% in 2025. Consumer awareness of pet wellness has grown substantially, with many owners proactively addressing issues such as joint health, digestion, skin/coat condition, and immunity; offline channels such as veterinary clinics, pet specialty stores, and large retail pet aisles offer professional guidance at the point of purchase, reassuring buyers about product suitability and safety. In addition, the ability to examine packaging, consult with trained staff, and receive immediate recommendations drives confidence and repeat purchases, particularly for premium or condition-specific supplements. Offline retail also benefits from strong brand visibility and experiential promotion, such as in-store demos and sampling, which further encourages trial and adoption.

Sales of pet supplements through online distribution channels are expected to grow at a CAGR of 9.0% in the market for pet supplements from 2026 to 2033. E-commerce platforms enable consumers to browse a broad range of supplements such as probiotics, joint support, vitamins, and calming aids across brands and tailored to specific pet health needs without the limitations of brick-and-mortar shelf space. The ease of home delivery, subscription ordering, and automated re-ordering has further incentivized online purchases, especially among busy or remote consumers. In addition, the growth of digital information sources, peer reviews, and targeted online marketing has improved consumer confidence in selecting appropriate supplements, supporting informed decision-making and repeat purchases.
