and “supports a healthy and balanced<br />
digestive system”. In addition, almost half<br />
of pet owners associate prebiotics with gut<br />
health, making this a key ingredient in pet<br />
food manufacturers’ toolbox.<br />
Demand for proteins and<br />
sustainable credentials<br />
The survey also reveals that protein quality<br />
and content are important for 7 in 10<br />
respondents. Additionally, sustainability<br />
claims are considered to some extent by 4<br />
in 5 owners when choosing food for their<br />
pets. With more than half of cat and dog<br />
owners considering plant-based proteins<br />
to be better for the environment, it is no<br />
surprise that vegetal ingredient sources<br />
with sustainability credentials are of<br />
increasing relevance. For instance, more<br />
than 80% of pet owners associate faba<br />
beans with being sustainable. Natural and<br />
high-quality vegetal proteins are therefore<br />
a valuable resource for manufacturers,<br />
allowing them to cater to pet owners’<br />
interests, whilst formulating nutritious pet<br />
food recipes.<br />
Dr. Maygane Ronsmans, Product Manager<br />
Animal Nutrition at BENEO says: “The<br />
findings of this latest pet owner survey<br />
highlight that even in times of inflation,<br />
nutritional value and health remain<br />
a priority for pet food purchasers.<br />
Scientifically proven prebiotics, like<br />
BENEO’s Orafti® Inulin and Oligofructose<br />
from chicory root, are proving popular<br />
with pet food producers as they naturally<br />
support digestive health, whilst allowing<br />
for appealing on-pack communication.<br />
Also, with pet owners more attentive to<br />
sustainability, BENEO’s vegetal proteins,<br />
derived from faba bean, wheat or rice,<br />
are valuable assets in pet food producers’<br />
toolboxes. Thanks to a versatile range of<br />
plant-based ingredients with technical,<br />
nutritional and health-promoting benefits,<br />
as well as longstanding expertise in<br />
healthy nutrition, BENEO is well equipped<br />
to help manufacturers bring to market<br />
innovative and relevant pet food products<br />
that meet consumer demand, even in a<br />
tough economic climate.”<br />
