Pet Food companies in the United States — 72 suppliers
The United States has 72 companies tagged Pet Food in the GlobalPetIndex database, ranking #3 of 49 countries that record any Pet Food companies. That is 0.3% of the country’s 21,297 listed pet businesses and 1.1% of the 6,395 Pet Food companies tracked worldwide.
Those 49 countries average 131 Pet Food companies each, so the United States sits at 0.6× that benchmark. China leads the category with 5,868.
How The United States compares
The United States ranks #1 of 82 countries by total listed pet companies (21,297), and 3,873 of those companies carry at least one product-category tag. 1.9% of the tagged base is in Pet Food, which is the comparison that matters if you are looking for capacity in this category rather than for the size of the market as a whole.
At 1.1% of the global Pet Food base, United States is a secondary rather than a primary source for this category — useful for regional supply, less so for volume programmes that need several qualified factories.
Other pet categories in the United States
Every company can carry more than one category tag, so these rows do not add up to the country’s total. A dash means no company in the United States carries that tag.

About this data
Counts come from the GlobalPetIndex company database, where each company is tagged with one or more industry categories. A company appears under every category it carries, so category counts never sum to a country total. Only published records are counted. Figures reflect the database as of 2026-10-30 00:41 UTC. Only 19.8% of the 111,618 published companies in the directory carry any industry-category tag, so these counts are a floor rather than a census. Pages are generated only where at least 10 companies carry the tag — thinner combinations are left unpublished rather than padded with filler, which is why not every country has a page for every category.
