The top July 2025 pet trends spotlight enrichment through food, treats and toys, as pet parents seek more engaging and health-conscious ways to care for their furry companions.

Fresh pet food continues to gain traction, with many owners opting for hybrid feeding approaches—mixing fresh meals with traditional kibble, freeze-dried, or air-dried formats to create balanced and customized diets.

Meanwhile, the humanification of pets shows no signs of slowing down, with culinary-style enhancements making their way into the pet food aisle. This is particularly notable with new-to-market sauces in squeezable packaging like pet-safe nut butter and savory kibble toppers. These pet product innovations are designed not only to elevate the dining experience but also mirror the way people think about their own food, reinforcing the idea that pets deserve gourmet treatment too.
