Using this value
Either form of this value goes in the google_product_category attribute: the numeric ID (8123) or the full path ("Animals & Pet Supplies > Pet Supplies > Dog Supplies > Dog Treadmills"). 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.

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, 8123, 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 Dog Treadmills
What is the Google product category ID for Dog Treadmills?
8123. The full path, "Animals & Pet Supplies > Pet Supplies > Dog Supplies > Dog Treadmills", 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 Dog Treadmills available?
No. Dog Treadmills is a leaf of Google's taxonomy at level 4, so 8123 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 Dog Treadmills sit in the taxonomy?
At level 4, under Dog Supplies (5). The chain from the top is Animals & Pet Supplies → Pet Supplies → Dog Supplies → Dog Treadmills. If your product does not belong under Dog Supplies, it does not belong here either — check the level above before going deeper.

If none of them fits either, the problem is higher up: go back to Dog Supplies (5) and pick a different branch from there rather than settling for the closest thing on this one.
How big is Dog Treadmills compared with the categories next to it?
