The inflation you usually read about is for grocery food products like eggs and milk, but I was curious what it looked like for pet food as well.
Turns out the same kind of inflation is present in pet food as well.
I used PriceLasso to track Chewy prices, which is one of the most popular online pet food stores. I just had to add individual products and it price tracked for me.
What I found was actually very similar to this chart by FRED for pet food prices (though mine included more luxury food brands, and was specifically for dog food).
Since 2020, prices to 2025 increased by 20%+.
Sidenote: inflation affects most product categories, but some more than others.
