There is a growing trend of pet humanization, owing to the growing pet-loving culture and increased attention of the media on celebrities with pets. The global population of cats, birds, dogs, and other pet animals is rising. The increase in pet adoption can be due to various factors, including lonely individuals and the aging population seeking the companionship of pets. Studies show that owning pets also has a positive impact on growing children seeking companionship. Pets also contribute to the development of motor skills in children through activities such as feeding and grooming. Moreover, pets encourage outdoor activities, such as taking them on regular walks, and promote emotional development by teaching children the responsibilities associated with caring for animals. According to the 2023–2024 National Pet Owners Survey conducted by the American Pet Products Association (APPA), 66% of the US population (i.e., approximately 86.9 million US households) owned one or more pets, mainly dogs and cats.
Moreover, many pet owners treat their pets as their children. This gives rise to various pet-friendly environments. In Japan, architects design cat-friendly spaces in homes. In France, French Cafés offer fine dining for puppies. Also, companies in the UK provide paid "pawternity" leave for pet owners. In Sweden, regulations are enforced to ensure pets live healthy and happy lives. Norwegians spend the highest on expensive pet food.
Pet parents are increasingly focusing on their pets' diet and health and are taking measures to keep them healthy. They are adopting healthy food enriched with various nutrients such as proteins, vitamins, and fish protein hydrolysate. Thus, key manufacturers in the fish protein hydrolysate market are developing pet food with fish protein hydrolysate and other nutrients to cater to the increasing demand from pet owners.

Fish protein hydrolysates are a rich source of peptides and amino acids. Most fish protein hydrolysates (FPH) are hygroscopic and are in the form of amorphous powder, containing 81–93% protein, less than 5% fat, 3–8% ash, and 1–8% moisture. FPH boosts the metabolic system of animals; hence, protecting them from the risk of infections and diseases. Therefore, the nutritional advantages associated with FPH boost its demand in the animal feed industry.
