**Greece Sees Surge in Pet Food Imports Amid Rising Demand**
**Greek Consumers Drive Growth in Domestic Market**
• Greek imports of dog and cat food rose by 12% in Q2 compared to the same period last year.
• The increase is attributed to a growing number of households owning pets, driven by rising consumer confidence and disposable incomes.
• Prices for imported pet food remain relatively stable due to moderate demand from suppliers.
Greek consumers’ increasing appetite for premium pet food products has contributed to a significant rise in imports, with dog and cat owners seeking high-quality food options. This trend is expected to continue as the country’s economy stabilizes and consumer spending power grows.
