  • Dongwon F&B's pet brand Arre has launched 16 types of dog snacks called 'Bab-Ggu' at Daiso stores nationwide.
  • The 'Bab-Ggu' snacks are designed to be sprinkled on dog food to enhance taste and palatability.
  • The Korean pet food market is rapidly expanding, projected to reach 10 trillion won by 2032, with these snacks priced at 1,000 won each.

Dongwon F&B's dedicated pet brand, Arre, is expanding its reach in the burgeoning pet food market with the launch of 16 varieties of "Bab-Ggu" snacks for dogs. These new products are now available at Daiso stores across South Korea and online via Daiso Mall.

The "Bab-Ggu" line, a portmanteau of "Bab" (rice/meal) and "Ggu" (decorate), caters to a growing trend among pet owners to enhance their pets' meals aesthetically and nutritionally. This trend is fueled by the significant growth of the domestic pet food market, which surpassed 2 trillion won in 2023 and is forecast to reach 10 trillion won by 2032.

Each "Bab-Ggu" snack is designed as a topping to be added to a dog's regular food, aiming to improve its flavor and appeal. The snacks come in convenient small portions and can also serve as training rewards or everyday treats. Manufactured in HACCP-certified facilities in Korea, each product is affordably priced at 1,000 won.

The range includes freeze-dried fruit chips (banana, blueberry, strawberry), freeze-dried whole ingredient treats (chicken, vegetable, pollack roe, cod, salmon), freeze-dried yogurt cubes (strawberry, apple, blueberry, mango), and rice crackers called "Rice Pop" (newly harvested rice, purple sweet potato, broccoli, pumpkin). Dongwon F&B stated the new products were developed in response to owners' increasing focus on their pets' health and desire for nutritious snacks to complement their meals. The company plans to continue developing products that satisfy both pets and owners.

As interest in the health of pets grows, we planned these new products for pet owners who want to feed healthy snacks along with their pet's food. We will continue to introduce various products that can satisfy both pets and owners through continuous research and development.
