Canadian pet brands based in Ontario
These 11 brands give Ontario, in Central Canada, as the location of their head office or their production facility. Being based here is not the same as being owned here, and neither is the same as manufacturing here, so each card below prints ownership and manufacturing as two separate statements. Where a company has not said something, we say that instead of filling the gap.
Why a brand might be missing
A brand appears on a province page only when the company itself states a city or province we can cite. Several Canadian brands publish no address at all, and a plant in one province does not put a company’s head office there. Rather than place those businesses on a map by inference, we leave them off this page and keep them on their own.
11 brands based in Ontario
Clark Cages Inc.
Made in CanadaNorth Bay, Ontario
Canadian-owned, made in Canada.
Clark Cages makes cages for animal professionals (boarding kennels, groomers, veterinarians, rescues and pet stores) and has been based in North Bay, Ontario since 1978. It is an active federal corporation with its registered office in North Bay. Clark Cages’ own website does not say where the cages are made. The North Bay manufacturing statement comes from a third-party Canadian-made directory.
Open Farm
Partly made in CanadaToronto, Ontario
Canadian-owned, partly made in Canada.
Canadian company, largely not Canadian manufacturing. Open Farm states it is a Canadian company headquartered in Toronto, and that its own manufacturing facility is in the United States. It says it also partners with facilities in Canada and Iceland, but does not say which product lines are made where.
The Crump Group Inc.
Partly made in CanadaMississauga, Ontario
Canadian-owned, partly made in Canada.
Crumps’ Naturals is a brand of The Crump Group Inc., founded in 2006 by Joe and Margot Crump in Caledon, Ontario and now producing from a Mississauga facility. Manufacturing is partial rather than complete: the company also opened a North Carolina facility in 2023 for its sweet-potato products, so not every product is made in Canada. It makes treats rather than complete food, and this site has no treats category yet, so this record is reachable from its Ontario province page and its own brand page.
Big Country Raw
Made in CanadaSmithville, Ontario
Ownership not stated, made in Canada.
Yes for manufacturing. Big Country Raw states that it produces all of its raw pet food in Smithville, Ontario. It names its founders but does not state who owns the company.
Bold by Nature
Made in CanadaErin, Ontario
Partly Canadian-owned, made in Canada.
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. The company’s own FAQ shows the American reference is the origin of two ingredients, duck and fish, rather than a second plant.
Capital Fence & Wire Limited
Made in CanadaOttawa, Ontario
Ownership not stated, made in Canada.
Capital Fence & Wire is an Ottawa fence company, founded in 1967, that manufactures Capital Pen Panels: dog runs and kennel pens that can be built to slope with the floor for drainage when flushing. The company states the panels are available only from it as the manufacturer in Ottawa. Most of its business is commercial and residential fencing.
Carna4
Made in CanadaToronto, Ontario
Ownership not stated, made in Canada.
Carna4 is a Toronto pet food company that states its food is made in Canada. Ownership is a separate matter and remains unstated: the company describes itself as family-owned but does not say where the owning family is, so we do not record a Canadian ownership claim.
Chilly Dogs Inc.
Made in CanadaOttawa, Ontario
Partly Canadian-owned, made in Canada.
Chilly Dogs makes dog coats in Canada and says so on its own About page, describing itself as an independent business producing Canadian-made coats in over thirty sizes. Ownership is recorded as partial: independent means not owned by a larger group, which is a different fact from being Canadian-owned, and the company does not state the latter. We record no design claim at all, because nothing on the site separates where the coats are designed from where they are made. This is apparel, and the site has no apparel category yet.
Healthy Paws Pet Food
Made in CanadaSmithville, Ontario
Partly Canadian-owned, made in Canada.
Healthy Paws Pet Food is a raw pet food maker in Smithville, Ontario. It states that its food is made in Canada and that most of its meats, fruits and vegetables come from local Canadian farms, without naming the exceptions. This company is unrelated to the American pet insurance business of the same name.
Iron Will Raw Inc.
Made in CanadaSt. Catharines, Ontario
Ownership not stated, made in Canada.
Iron Will Raw states that it produces its raw dog food in St. Catharines, Ontario. Ownership is a different matter: the company names its founder, Matt Bonanno, but does not state who owns the company.
Royal Canin
Partly made in CanadaGuelph, Ontario
Not Canadian-owned, partly made in Canada.
No, and yes, depending which question you are asking. Royal Canin is owned by Mars, so it is not a Canadian company. But it built a factory and its Canadian head office in Guelph, Ontario in 2008, and says that plant makes dry cat and dog food.

How this page is built
A province page opens only once at least 4 brands based there carry a verified Canadian origin claim. Below that we publish no page at all, because a province listing with two entries on it is worse than none. Every claim behind these brands links to the page we read and the date we read it.
