GREENFIELD, Ind., Feb. 20, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Elanco Animal Health Incorporated (NYSE:ELAN) today announced the launch of Pet Protect, a line of veterinarian-formulated supplements for dogs and cats. With the pet supplement market experiencing rapid growth and increasing relevance, Pet Protect emerges as a modernized, science-backed supplement line specifically designed to cater to the diverse health needs of pets.
As pet owners increasingly recognize the importance of their pets' health and well-being, their expectations for comprehensive pet care have risen significantly, resulting in a heightened awareness to take proactive measures to ensure not only their health but their pet's health too. The U.S. pet supplement market reached a size of $2.7 billion in 2023, achieving a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 20% over the past five years.1 The explosive growth in the pet supplements market has remained constant as customers see value in supplements – with over half of pet supplement purchasers reporting about the same spend in 2023 despite inflation price pressures.2 In response to this growing demand and the shifting focus of pet parents toward proactive wellness, Elanco has introduced Pet Protect to provide comprehensive support for pets' everyday health.
"As the leader in pet health over the counter products, expanding into supplements is a natural fit for Elanco," said Bobby Modi, Executive Vice President, U.S. Pet Health and Global Digital Transformation. "This underscores our dedication to enhancing the health and well-being of pets while driving growth and expanding our footprint in this dynamic market."
