Open a Global Pet Foods in your community.
Our story started in 1976 with a bold vision: to build a pet food store unlike any other—one dedicated to holistic wellness and natural nutrition at a time when these ideas were just emerging in pet care. Nearly five decades later, Global Pet Foods remains at the forefront of innovation in the pet industry. As a proudly 100% Canadian-owned and operated company and North America's largest privately-owned pet specialty retailer, we've expanded to more than 230 locations across the continent. Our growth is built on a dependable, proven system that supports our franchisees and a carefully curated product selection that pet owners know they can trust.
