Competitive Landscape
Leading Brands Consolidate Positions Amid Fragmented Competition
The other pet food landscape in the UK remained fragmented in 2025 with numerous manufacturers holding relatively small shares, yet a handful of key players maintained a clear leadership position. Burgess Supafeeds Ltd gained leadership with value share of 9% in 2025, reflecting its strong presence in food for rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters and other small pets.
Pets Choice Acquisition Expands Portfolio to Enhance Market Presence
A significant development shaping the competitive landscape of other pet food is Pets Choice Ltd’s acquisition of Pettex Ltd, bringing the latter’s established cat litter and small animal care business under its control. This strategic move allows Pets Choice to broaden its product portfolio beyond food and accessories into complementary hygiene and habitat solutions, enhancing its competitiveness across both companion animal and small pet segments.
