Therefore, the general objective is to analyze the diversification of the countries supplying pet food imports in Peru 2014 - 2023. The methodology to be used is of a basic type, with a quantitative approach, descriptive scope and non-experimental - transversal design. A documentary analysis was carried out with data obtained from INFOTRADE to evaluate imports and the level of concentration through the years 2014 - 2023, therefore the Herfindahl-Hirschman index will be used. A growth of 9.07% is observed with respect to FOB value, 4.71% in net weight and 5.15% in price, a concentration in supplier countries highlighting Argentina, however, it is in the process of diversification. On the other hand, with respect to companies, there is an overwhelming concentration of Nestlé.
