If you’re looking for high-quality, locally inspired pet food that prioritizes your pet’s well-being, Boreal is a name you’ll want to know—and we’ve got it right here for you!
What Makes Boreal Special?
Boreal stands out in the pet food world with its commitment to wholesome, Canadian-sourced ingredients and a back-to-basics approach to pet nutrition. Founded by a family with over 30 years of experience in the pet industry, Boreal draws inspiration from the ancestral diets of dogs and cats that once roamed North America’s boreal forests. Their philosophy? Pets thrive on simple, high-quality ingredients—think single-source proteins and low-glycemic carbs—rather than heavily processed fillers.
Here’s what sets Boreal apart:
- Canadian Ingredients: From cage-free chicken and turkey to sustainably farmed salmon and duck, Boreal sources most of its meats from Canadian farms. Even their lamb, imported from Australia, meets strict quality standards. Their peas and beans? Grown right here in Canada’s prairie provinces and southern Ontario.
- Low-Glycemic Nutrition: Boreal ditches high-sugar carbs like corn and wheat, opting instead for peas and beans that keep blood sugar stable and help pets feel full longer. It’s a smart choice for maintaining healthy weight and energy levels.
- Single-Source Proteins: Many of their recipes focus on one protein at a time, making it easier to manage sensitivities and keep diets simple yet nutritious.
- Health-First Formulas: With added antioxidants, prebiotics, and organic zinc (via ProPath®), Boreal supports digestion, skin health, and overall vitality.
A Solution to Pet Obesity
Did you know pet obesity is on the rise, often linked to diets packed with cheap carbs and fillers? Boreal tackles this head-on. Their dry and wet foods—like the grain-free Cobb Chicken or Canadian Atlantic Salmon—are designed to be high in meat and low in unnecessary starches. It’s a recipe for happier, healthier pets—and fewer trips to the vet for weight-related issues.
