A prescription diet is a diet given by a veterinarian or animal nutritionist to help restore health based on your pet's illness or nutritional status. Ordinary food is a common diet that meets the basic growth needs of pets and can achieve satiety. In the field of pet prescription food, the development of foreign pet prescription food has been very mature, and international giants and well-known brands such as Hills have been born, but there is a certain gap in the field of domestic pet prescription food in terms of production and consumption, and it is still in the initial promotion stage. And because the prescription food is generally prescribed by the pet doctor for the physical condition of the pet, the personalized factor is strong, and it is subject to the development of pet hospitals and clinics, so the development in China is relatively slow. At present, the main pet prescription food brands in the domestic market are mainly foreign brands, and the development of domestic brands in this field is still a long way from that of foreign brands.
