Is Bold by Nature Canadian?

The short answer

Bold by Nature produces raw pet food in its own 25,000 square foot facility in Erin, Ontario. Its homepage carries a "made in usa" badge alongside a "proudly canadian" one, which looks like a contradiction and is not: the company’s own FAQ shows the American reference is the origin of two ingredients, duck and fish, rather than a second plant. Ingredient sourcing is documented protein by protein, which is unusually specific for this category.

What “Canadian” means for this brand

These are separate facts and we keep them separate. A company can be Canadian-owned and manufacture abroad, or foreign-owned and manufacture here. Each line below carries its own evidence and its own date.

Made in Canada

Yes

Applies to: production at the company’s Erin, Ontario facility

The product itself is manufactured in Canada. This is about the factory, not the head office.

The "made in usa" badge on the homepage refers to raw ingredient origin for duck and fish, not to a manufacturing location. The company names one facility and it is in Ontario.

Canadian-owned company

Partly

The company that owns the brand is Canadian. This says nothing about where its products are manufactured.

The available source names Caroline Bolduc as President and CEO. That is an officer role, not a shareholding, so it evidences Canadian leadership rather than Canadian ownership. No registry record was obtained.

Made with Canadian ingredients

Partly

Applies to: chicken, pork, rabbit, tripe, turkey and beef are sourced within Canada; duck and fish are not exclusively Canadian

Some or all of the inputs are sourced in Canada. Check the scope note for which ones.

Duck is described as primarily sourced from Canada and the USA, and fish as wild caught from the Atlantic coast of Canada and the Northeastern U.S. Those two are the reason this is partial rather than yes.

How we check this

Every claim on this page links to the source we read and the date we read it. We take origin and manufacturing statements from a company’s own site, its packaging, or a government record, and we do not infer where something is manufactured from who owns the company. Ownership and manufacturing change independently, so each claim is dated separately. The oldest check on this page is from 2026-09-09.

Spotted something out of date? Tell us and we will re-check it.
