A 25% increase in pet food prices in recent days has put both pet shop owners and pet owners in a difficult situation.

The increase in pet food prices has become a striking situation. Pet shop owners and pet owners have started to be negatively affected by this situation.

Deniz Kaan Kurt, who has been running a pet shop in Aydın for 8 years, gave information about price changes. Kurt said that rising costs are putting a strain on pet owners.

Deniz Kaan Kurt, who runs a pet shop in the Efeler district, said, “The food that was offered for sale for 300 liras has increased to 350 liras with the new price increase. The food price, which was 85 liras, has increased to 106 liras, but we are selling it to customers for 100 liras.

“The food that was 150 liras has increased to 187 liras, but we are selling it for 175 liras. The food that was 100 liras has increased to 125 liras.”

Deniz Kaan Kurt stated that pet owners are faced with a huge financial burden after the price increase. Kurt said: “We are trying to sell food to customers at the most affordable price possible, but the price increase is enough to strain the budgets of pet owners.”
