Buying new clothes for pets is the most direct way to create festive ritual. In 2026, pet New Year clothing emphasizes both ritual and practicality. Dog clothing accounted for 51.54% of sales Cat clothing made up 23.8% This breaks the long-term dominance of “cat economy” in many categories, showing dogs adapt better to dressing up for outdoor visits. Style & Color Trends Traditional Tang suits remain extremely popular Warm cotton-padded clothes sell strongly for winter practicality Red is still the top choice for festival vibes and photos Comfort, safety, and non-restrictive material are the top concerns for buyers. The Spring Festival travel rush also boosted travel clothing and calming apparel for boarding pets, covering every real-life festive scenario. 3. New Trends in Pet Festive Consumption Beyond clothing, food is another core segment, showing trends of ritual, segmentation, and socialization. (1) Pet “New Year Eve Dinner” Becomes a Hit Special pet versions of mooncakes, dumplings, and festive meals are trending. Brands launched limited gift boxes that sell strongly despite higher prices. These boxes have become popular content for sharing on social media. (2) Snack Categories Become More Targeted For cats: freeze-dried snacks and canned treats dominate Freeze-dried is preferred for high meat content; cans for nutrition. For dogs: wet food and air-dried snacks lead High popularity for “fresh meat texture”; biscuits for daily and training use. (3) Consumption Expands to Small Pets Rabbits, birds, and other small pets now have their own festive food.
