Is Iron Will Raw Inc. Canadian?

The short answer

Iron Will Raw produces its raw dog food at a HACCP-certified facility in St. Catharines, Ontario, and states so directly. Ownership is a different matter and we record it as unstated: the company was founded by Matt Bonanno and its About page still describes him leading it, while his LinkedIn title reads former CEO. That is a question about an officer, not about shareholding, so neither source tells us who owns the company.

Head office: St. Catharines, Ontario, Canada

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 St. Catharines, Ontario facility

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

Canadian-owned company

Not stated

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

The company names a Canadian founder but never states its ownership. A chief executive is not a shareholder, so the apparent conflict between the About page and a former-CEO listing does not resolve ownership in either direction.

Made with Canadian ingredients

Partly

Applies to: the majority of proteins, per the company’s own hedged wording

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

The company says the vast majority rather than all, and does not name which proteins are the exception.

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Spotted something out of date?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.
