Direct-to-consumer refers to selling products directly to customers, bypassing third-party retailers, wholesalers, or other intermediaries. The direct-to-consumer pet food market sector has been growing rapidly due to the growing adoption of digital channels. The increasing usage of smartphones and internet penetration has remarkably emphasized online sales. In addition, people's hectic lifestyles, user-friendly websites/apps, and accessibility of products drive the online sales of pet food.

The growth of this market can be attributed to several factors, including the rising pet population and food expenditure, growing incidences of zoonotic diseases, rising demand for premium pet food products, rising number of pet DTC brands, and rise in E-commerce. Moreover, the use of cannabis in pet food is expected to offer growth opportunities for the players operating in this market.

However, quality issues related to pet food products and product recalls restrain the growth of this market. The latest trends in the direct-to-consumer pet food market are the rising demand for customized pet food and the humanization of pets.
