The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

The rapid escalation of U.S. tariffs and the resulting trade tensions in spring 2025 are having a considerable impact on the veterinary healthcare sector, particularly in the supply of pharmaceuticals, medical devices, and animal care products. Increased duties on imported veterinary medicines, diagnostic equipment, surgical tools, and pet care supplies have driven up operational costs for veterinary clinics, animal hospitals, and livestock health providers, forcing them to either raise service charges or absorb reduced profit margins. The livestock and agricultural industries are facing similar pressures, as tariffs on feed additives, vaccines, and breeding equipment push up production costs and complicate animal health management. Furthermore, retaliatory tariffs in major export markets have weakened demand for U.S.-manufactured veterinary products, adding to revenue challenges. To navigate these headwinds, the sector must now focus on local sourcing, preventive healthcare strategies, and digital veterinary solutions to control costs while continuing to deliver quality animal care.

The pet dental health market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $6.5 billion in 2024 to $6.93 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.6%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increasing pet ownership and humanization, awareness of oral health's impact on overall pet health, advancements in veterinary dentistry, educational campaigns by pet care brands, rising incidence of pet dental disorders.

The pet dental health market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $9.4 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.9%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to growing pet population in emerging markets, e-commerce growth in pet care, focus on natural and organic pet products, rise in pet insurance coverage, and collaborations between pet care and veterinary professionals. Major trends in the forecast period include rising pet ownership and humanization, focus on preventive care and education, innovations in pet dental products, veterinary dental services on the rise, and premiumization of pet dental products.

The forecast of 7.9% growth over the next five years remains unchanged from the previous projection for this market. This reduction is primarily due to the impact of tariffs between the US and other countries. Tariff hikes on precision dental tools and enzymatic products commonly sourced from Europe could inflate prices and limit product availability in this niche segment. The effect will also be felt more widely due to reciprocal tariffs and the negative effect on the global economy and trade due to increased trade tensions and restrictions.

The increasing incidence of pet dental diseases is expected to drive the growth of the pet dental health market in the future. Pet dental diseases refer to disorders that affect the normal functioning of the tissues supporting the teeth in pets, often caused by bacterial infections or oral injuries. These conditions include gum inflammation, gingivitis, periodontal disease, and others. The term pet dental health encompasses the diagnosis, maintenance, monitoring, and prevention of oral health issues in pets, including their teeth and oral tissues, to ensure their overall well-being. For example, a survey published by Banfield Pet Hospital, a veterinary company based in the U.S., reported in February 2024 that in 2023, 73% of dogs and 64% of cats examined at Banfield were found to have dental-related issues. As a result, the rising prevalence of pet dental diseases is fueling the growth of the pet dental health market.

A significant driver of growth in the pet dental health market is the increasing number of pet owners. Pet ownership involves actively caring for domesticated animals within one's living environment and demands a comprehensive approach to maintain pets' oral health. Responsible pet ownership entails a combination of at-home care, veterinary interventions, and preventive measures. Statistics from the World Animal Foundation in October 2023 highlighted the substantial ownership of dogs compared to cats, horses, or saltwater fish tanks, indicating a rising number of individuals taking responsibility for pets, thereby contributing to the growth of the pet dental health market.

Product innovations represent a prominent trend shaping the pet dental health market, with major companies focusing on introducing innovative products to fortify their market positions. For instance, in January 2022, Bow Wow Labs, Inc. unveiled the 4in1 Enzymatic Toothpaste Gel and 4in1 Toothbrush, incorporating natural ingredients such as aloe, manuka honey, sage, baking soda, parsley, and enzymes. These products aim to support healthy gums, reduce plaque formation, eliminate harmful bacteria, soothe gums, and freshen pets' breath, showcasing a trend toward gentle and effective oral care solutions.

Strategic partnerships are being leveraged by major companies in the pet dental health market to promote events such as Pet Dental Health Month. These partnerships involve collaborating with organizations to combine strengths and resources for mutual benefit. For instance, in January 2022, the partnership announced between Kind News magazine and Early Smiles Sacramento for National Children's Dental Health Month and National Pet Dental Health Month aims to educate youngsters about the importance of good oral health for both children and pets. Through bright visuals and engaging content, this collaboration offers innovative ways to educate children while emphasizing the role of early prevention in oral health.
