Pet mooncakes — festive snacks made for dogs and cats rather than humans — are proliferating across China ahead of the Mid-Autumn Festival, sold by major retailers like Sam's Club as well as online stores and small bakeries (SCMP, September 25). In Chengdu, a pack of pet mooncakes selling for about 50 yuan (US$8) online has sold thousands of units, according to news outlet thecover.cn (SCMP, September 25). The trend reflects broader shifts in Chinese consumer spending, with human demand for traditional mooncakes reportedly softening while pet-focused spinoffs gain traction (SCMP, September 25).
