iHerb, a major online retailer for health and wellness products, is highlighting its range of pet care products in recognition of National Pet Wellness Month this October. The company offers a variety of products specifically designed for dogs and cats, including dietary supplements aimed at supporting immune health, skin and coat care, and joint and dental health. These products provide additional care options beyond routine veterinary visits.
iHerb has seen an increasing demand for pet supplements as more people adopt pets and prioritize their health. Products like probiotics for digestion and supplements for hip and joint health are among the most popular. This growth comes at a time when U.S. household spending on pets is expected to reach $1,445 per pet by 2026, with the U.S. pet supplements industry projected to hit $1.05 billion by 2027.
Lindsey Wiefels, SVP of Merchandising at iHerb, noted that as more pet owners focus on health and quality of life, the demand for premium pet care products has grown. iHerb offers a range of wellness products, including organic, non-toxic, and hypoallergenic options.
Trending areas in pet health include gut health, hip and joint care, and dental hygiene. Probiotic supplements for pets, such as LactoBif Pet Probiotics from California Gold Nutrition, have received high ratings from customers for their impact on digestive health. Similarly, hip and joint supplements containing glucosamine, chondroitin, and MSM, such as Charlie and Frank Pet Hip & Joint soft chews, are popular for aging or overweight pets. The demand for dental products, including enzymatic toothpaste and tartar control sprays, is also growing as owners focus on comprehensive pet care.
