Decline in pet food sales

Last year's sales of dog and cat food in Germany totalling € 1.9033 bn indicated a 3.7 per cent decline compared with 2003. This statistic emerges from current market data covering both the food retail trade (incl. Aldi) and the speciality pet products trade (incl. DIY and garden stores) supplied by Information Resources Inc. (IRI).
