U.S. Pet Dental Health Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report By Type (Products, Services), By Animal Type (Dogs, Cats), By Indication (Gum Disease, Dental Calculus, Oral Tumor), By Distribution Channel, And Segment Forecasts, 2025 - 2033
The U.S. pet dental health market size was estimated at USD 2.59 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach at 4.53 billion by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 6.55% from 2025 to 2033. The rise in pet dental diseases, increased awareness among pet owners about preventing painful dental conditions, a surge in veterinary dental check-ups & procedures, the introduction of innovative pet oral care products by leading companies, and the growth in pet ownership rates are key factors contributing to the market expansion.
The growing presence of pet insurance providers like Spot Pet Insurance is significantly driving the U.S. pet dental health industry by making preventive oral care more accessible and affordable for pet owners. The uptake of pet insurance, particularly plans that include preventive care add-ons, encourages regular dental check-ups and treatments by covering costs related to cleanings, exams, and procedures such as dental evaluations. By offering customizable accident and illness or accident-only plans with flexible reimbursement rates, annual limits, and deductibles, insurers enable pet parents to select coverage that aligns with their financial and healthcare priorities. This increased financial support reduces cost-related hesitation, leading to higher utilization of dental services, early intervention, and an overall rise in demand for veterinary dental care, contributing directly to the market's growth.
Moreover, according to an article published by Colorado State University, in January 2024, dental disease, which involves infections and inflammation of the teeth, gums, and supporting structures, is one of the most widespread and serious health conditions affecting companion animals, particularly cats and dogs. It typically begins with plaque and tartar buildup and, if left untreated, can progress to gingivitis, periodontal disease, and tooth loss, potentially leading to systemic health issues like heart, liver, or kidney complications.
Furthermore, according to the American Veterinary Dental Society, over 80% of dogs and 70% of cats exhibit signs of dental disease by the age of three, underscoring the condition's early onset and high prevalence. This widespread occurrence has become a major driver of the pet dental health market in the U.S., as it fuels demand for both preventive and therapeutic solutions. Pet owners are increasingly seeking veterinary services such as dental cleanings, extractions, and oral surgeries, while also purchasing home-care products like dental chews, toothbrushes, and water additives. The veterinary community's growing emphasis on routine dental exams and the rising awareness among pet parents about the long-term health implications of poor oral hygiene are accelerating market expansion. Ultimately, the high prevalence and chronic nature of dental disease create a sustained need for ongoing care, positioning dental health as a vital and fast-growing segment of the broader pet healthcare market.
