History of Pet Food

The first known pet food was made by James Spratt in 1860.

Dogs and cats foraged and ate scraps / left overs from human meals.

In England, James Spratt introduced the first commercial dog biscuit – “Patent Meat Fibrine Dog Cakes” inspired by stray dogs eating discarded ship biscuits.

The first canned dog food, primarily made from horse meat.

During the Depression, cheap fillers like cereal grains including wheat gained popularity. WWII, results in rations of food and cans which lead to shift towards dry food biscuits.

The extrusion process was introduced by Purina in 1956. This invention allowed for the introduction of mass produced, shelf stable kibble.

The pet food industry experienced rapid growth due to advances in equipment manufacturing and speciallised pet food diets.

Advances in modern technology. have provided easier access for entry to market. by smaller scale producers and manufacturers. Well informed consumers through the use of the internet & social media have propelled the need for safer, better quality “natural” and raw food diets and species specific foods. which has created a huge opportunity for those in the pet food manufacturing business. The humanisation of pets has also led to a huge demand for Pet Health Supplements and Nutraceutical’s .
