Buying Pet Products made in Canada

In short

Inspiring Canadians lists 40 pet products brands that make their products in Canada. They come from 8 provinces and territories, most often Ontario, British Columbia and Quebec. Examples include Intersand, Boreal Pet Food, Oven-Baked Tradition and Horizon Pet Food.

Canadian pet brands make food, treats, beds, collars, leashes, toys and grooming products. According to the CFIA, pet food is not comprehensively regulated in Canada the way food for people or livestock feed is, so reading labels closely and asking makers direct questions matters more in this aisle than in most.

How to read Made in Canada labels

  1. 01Check where the food is actually made, not only where the company is based.
  2. 02Ask where the main protein comes from; Made in Canada does not mean Canadian meat.
  3. 03Look for a clear ingredient list and feeding guide on food and treats.
  4. 04For toys and beds, check the stitching and choose sizes your pet cannot swallow.

Frequently asked questions

What kinds of pet products are made in Canada?

Canada is home to a wide range of pet products—from natural pet foods and treats to eco-friendly toys, grooming supplies, beds, leashes, and accessories. We feature brands that prioritize quality, safety, and local sourcing.

Why should I buy Canadian-made pet products?

Canadian-made pet products are held to high safety and quality standards. You're also supporting local businesses, reducing environmental impact, and giving your pet products made with care and transparency.

Are Canadian-made pet foods and treats safe?

Yes. Canadian pet food companies must follow strict manufacturing and ingredient regulations. Many go above and beyond with human-grade, organic, or grain-free formulas. We highlight that info in each listing.

Are there eco-friendly or natural pet products made in Canada?

Absolutely. Many Canadian pet brands are focused on sustainability—using recycled materials, natural ingredients, and plastic-free packaging. We tag these in the directory to make them easy to find.

Can I find products for all types of pets, or just dogs and cats?

While most brands cater to dogs and cats, we’re expanding our listings to include Canadian-made products for birds, small animals, and more. Let us know if you have a suggestion—we’d love to include it.

Where can I buy Canadian pet products?

Most brands offer online shopping, and many are stocked in local pet stores, boutiques, and even major retailers. We include links so you can shop directly from the source.

Are these products more expensive than imported ones?

Sometimes—but not always. With Canadian products, you’re often paying for better ingredients, higher quality, and ethical manufacturing. Plus, they last longer and support your local economy.

Is pet food regulated in Canada?

Only in part. The CFIA says pet food is not a comprehensively regulated commodity in Canada compared to food for people or livestock feed. Its own oversight is limited to the import and export of animal products. Some ingredients fall under Health Canada or Environment and Climate Change Canada, and misleading labels can still be a concern for the Competition Bureau.

Does Made in Canada pet food use Canadian meat?

Not necessarily. Made in Canada means the food was made here, but proteins, grains and other ingredients may be imported. If sourcing matters to you, look for a specific statement about where the meat or fish comes from, or ask the brand directly. Brands that source in Canada usually say so clearly.

How can I check a pet food brand before switching?

Ask where the food is made and whether the brand uses its own facility or a contract manufacturer. Ask where the main ingredients come from and whether the recipe is formulated to a recognized nutritional standard. Check Government of Canada recall notices, and talk to your veterinarian, especially if your pet has health issues.

Are Canadian-made pet toys safer than imported ones?

Origin alone does not make a toy safe. What matters is how it is made and how your pet plays. Look for sturdy stitching, a size your pet cannot swallow and materials suited to chewing. Supervise new toys at first and replace them once they start to come apart.

Can I find Canadian-made pet beds, collars and leashes?

Yes. Pet beds, collars, harnesses and leashes are often sewn by small Canadian shops, sometimes to order in custom sizes or colours. Ask about the materials, whether covers are washable, and whether the maker repairs or replaces worn hardware. Small makers often take custom requests that larger brands cannot.
