Dog food Extrusion is a process of forming the material via mechanical and thermal operations in order to create dry kibble and semi-moist pet food. It involves feeding of ingredients such as proteins, grains, fats, vitamins and minerals in a prescribed ratio to create a formulation that would address the nutritional value of pet foods. This in turn is conditioned using steam and water to activate consequential cooking of the starches and proteins of the food. The obtained mixture is fed to an extruder – a screw conveyor installed in a cylindrical container. Within the extruder, pressure and heat forces gelatinization of the starches and denaturation of proteins during which it is made certain that the food is thoroughly cooked and sterilized. After extrusion the food is dried to reduce the moisture content since this will reduce spoilage. Then, fats and flavours are coated on the kibble in order to enhance the taste and nutrient quality of the food. Last, the kibble is cooled and then transferred to packaging. Extrusion is one of the most efficient and mechanized methods of processing high quality, safe, and shelf stable dog foods.

The product type segment is divided into dry dog food (kibble), wet dog food (canned), treats and snacks and others. The dry dog food (kibble) segment dominated the market, with a market share of around 45% in 2023. One of the major benefits of kibble is that it has a very long shelf life. In contrast, other feeding methods such as wet and raw foods have short shelf life and should be refrigerated. However, kibble can sit at room temperature for several months without going bad. This convinces the pet owners to buy these foods because they don’t have to worry about the leftovers spoiling. Also, kibble is relatively cheaper than the other types of dog foods in the market. Kibble is designed to be hard and crunchy, thus benefiting the teeth and gums; the action of having to chew the kibble will dislodge plaque and tartar from a dog’s teeth. In addition, kibble can be easily measured for the required quantities per day or meal. Altogether, the factors such as durability, low cost, health advantages and availability contribute to the segment’s dominance in the market.
