What trade mark class is pet products?
In the UK, pet products usually goes in class 31, class 28 and class 18. Below: the class, example terms from the 2026 Nice list, the mistakes that cause objections, and when a second class is worth it.
Class 31
Pet food is class 31. Class heading: Raw and unprocessed agricultural, aquacultural, horticultural and forestry products; raw and unprocessed grains and seeds; fresh fruits and vegetables, fresh herbs.
Example terms (Nice list, 2026):
- pet food
- dog biscuits
- beverages for pets
Class 28
Pet toys are class 28. Class heading: Games, toys and playthings; video game apparatus; gymnastic and sporting articles.
Example terms (Nice list, 2026):
- toys for pets
Class 18
Leads and collars sit in class 18. Class heading: Leather and imitations of leather; animal skins and hides; luggage and carrying bags.
Example terms (Nice list, 2026):
- leather leashes
When we file, every term is picked from UKIPO's pre-approved list, so the wording itself does not draw an objection. Your mark is protected only for the terms you list.
Common mistakes
- Putting pet food in class 5. Class 5 covers veterinary preparations and dietary supplements for animals.
- Adding every pet class “just in case”. Each term is another chance of a clash.
When a second class makes sense
Pick the classes for what you sell now or within about 5 years. Add class 44 for grooming or vet services, class 43 for pet boarding.
