Using this value
Either form of this value goes in the google_product_category attribute: the numeric ID (6403) or the full path ("Animals & Pet Supplies > Pet Supplies > Fish Supplies > Fish Feeders"). Both are predefined values for the same category. The ID is the sturdier of the two, because renaming any segment above this one changes the path text and leaves the number alone.
Bear in mind that google_product_category is an optional attribute. Google assigns a category automatically, and your value is treated as a signal rather than an override. When an override actually applies.
In your feed, it looks like this
Either row below is accepted. The first is the one to send.
| id | title | google_product_category |
|---|---|---|
| SKU-1001 | Your product title | 6403 |
| SKU-1001 | Your product title | Animals & Pet Supplies > Pet Supplies > Fish Supplies > Fish Feeders |
This path has no comma, so an unquoted cell holds it as it stands — which is not true of every category in the taxonomy. The numeric ID, 6403, is the form that does not depend on how the file is quoted.

These sit under the same parent and start with the same word, which is exactly when the wrong one gets picked.
Questions about Fish Feeders
What is the Google product category ID for Fish Feeders?
6403. The full path, "Animals & Pet Supplies > Pet Supplies > Fish Supplies > Fish Feeders", is the same category written the other way. The ID is shorter, and renaming a segment above this one changes the path text while leaving the number alone.
Is anything more specific than Fish Feeders available?
No. Fish Feeders is a leaf of Google's taxonomy at level 4, so 6403 is the most precise value this branch offers. If it does not describe your product closely enough, the answer is a different branch, not a deeper one.
Where does Fish Feeders sit in the taxonomy?
At level 4, under Fish Supplies (6). The chain from the top is Animals & Pet Supplies → Pet Supplies → Fish Supplies → Fish Feeders. If your product does not belong under Fish Supplies, it does not belong here either — check the level above before going deeper.
What should I use if Fish Feeders is not quite right?
Look across the rest of Fish Supplies first — there are 15 other categories at this level: Aquarium & Pond Tubing (505303), Aquarium Air Stones & Diffusers (505307), Aquarium Cleaning Supplies (500038), Aquarium Decor (5019), Aquarium Filters (5020), Aquarium Fish Nets (505306), and 9 more. If none of them fits either, the problem is higher up: go back to Fish Supplies (6) and pick a different branch from there rather than settling for the closest thing on this one.
How big is Fish Feeders compared with the categories next to it?
It is 10th largest of the 16 at its level, carrying 0 categories below it. A bigger category is not a better one — it just means more of the taxonomy is still open below you after you pick it.
What is the difference between Fish Feeders and Fish Food?
