Brand: Global Pet Food

Global Pet Foods, Canada’s largest franchised pet food and supplies retailer, was founded in 1976 by Ken and Doreen Wilford in Guelph, Ontario. The company was established with a mission to provide high-quality, natural pet food and products to help pets live healthier, happier lives. Global Pet Foods is known for its “Healthy Breeds Healthy Pets” philosophy, offering a wide range of premium pet food brands, treats, toys, and accessories for dogs, cats, birds, and small animals. The brand’s commitment to education and customer service has made it a trusted destination for pet owners across the country.

The company has also embraced modern trends, offering online shopping and delivery services to meet the needs of today’s pet owners. Despite its growth, Global Pet Foods remains deeply connected to its Canadian roots, with its headquarters still based in Ontario.
