Did you know Barks and Recreation has always strived to supply top quality pet products with a Canadian-made focus.
Now we'll be working even harder to have a Canadian product selection!
We'll be working to make our Canadian products more visible in-store and online. Currently, you can find Made In Canada stickers on much of our products in-store.
If you're wanting to ensure your food or treats are Canadian-made, we've got you! Some pet products are very difficult to find made in our country but we'll be researching to find alternatives for US-made items we carry.
Here are some highlights of Canadian-made food and products we currently sell:

Canadian Naturals - Canadian Naturals is a small, family owned pet food company from British Columbia. They are committed to sourcing local or Canadian ingredients as much as possible.

Acana/Orijen - Regretfully, this brand was purchased by Mars last year. It is still made in Canada, with mostly Canadian ingredients (some pet food ingredients like vitamins, are difficult to impossible to source in Canada). We have been carefully monitoring these food lines for changes in quality or production and it has maintained stable in Canada.
