Want to be a better pet parent? The top pet care trends that are going to take 2022 by storm are revealed by Rover — and they include smart solutions for bat separation anxiety.
“There are certainly more chapters to be written before this pandemic ends, but a subplot has already emerged: the love and appreciation for our pets has reached an all-time high,” Kate Jaffe , the trend expert at Rover, told Supermarket News.
“More and more, we are counting on our pets to be our friends and provide emotional support. It is a reasonable assumption that pet parents will repay the favor in 2022, taking the pet industry to new heights.”
Take a look at the trends below…
1. Ways to Fight Anxiety
The lockdown has been tough for all of us – even our pets. According to Rover, the demand for training and anxiety solutions is “ten times higher” than pre-pandemic levels, with owners looking for new solutions to help their pets. If your dog shows signs of separation anxiety, give him something to play with, such as long-lasting treats or chew toys, to prevent boredom.
2. Pet Parents Going Green
Family animals produce a heavy carbon footprint, which is why in 2022 more owners will be choosing sustainable and eco-friendly pet products. According to Rover, we should expect to see more mindfulness, a ‘how do I do’ mentality, and products like sustainable pet food protein sources, packaging, and cat litter.

3. Improving Pet Nutrition
Increasing the quality of pet food and improving nutrition will also be a top trend for 2022, with owners ensuring their furry friends get a healthy, well-balanced diet that is tailored to their needs. At the same time, many of us will seek alternative protein sources that have greater nutritional benefits and less environmental impact, choosing fresh pet food options where possible.
4. Investing in Pet Tech
Enter a new wave of pet-friendly gadgets designed to help pet owners take care of the new members of their family. In 2022, experts predict that owners will invest more money buying technology-based solutions than ever before. Some of these include dog-activated video calls, virtual vet visits, smart collars and health and safety monitoring solutions.

5. Humanization of Pets Continues
The bond between pets and humans will only get stronger in 2022, with many owners spoiling their furry friends with luxuries like organic bedding, food delivery services and TV subscription services.
“If you ask most parents, they’ll say that their top priority is to provide their children with happy, healthy, and fulfilling lives—and they will do everything in their power to make that happen,” Kate says. “I really think we’re getting to the point where the same can be said for pet parents.”
