Main Services
KALŪ is a Canadian brand that offers premium dry food and natural treats for dogs and cats, made with local, high-quality ingredients and backed by strong environmental and social values. We exist to create a healthier world for pets, their humans, and the planet, one bowl at a time.
The company was founded in Montreal by James, a passionate entrepreneur, musician, and devoted dog dad. The passing of his first dog, Callie—nicknamed “Calou”—to cancer was a turning point that ignited his desire to create a better food option for pets. What started as a deeply personal project has now grown into a nationally distributed brand that’s making waves in both independent stores and major chains.
What truly sets KALŪ apart is our unwavering commitment to nutritional excellence. Our formulas are rich in animal proteins—up to 90%—and free of grains, fillers, by-products, and artificial additives. We source local ingredients whenever possible, including Quebec chicken, North Atlantic fish, and even upcycled lobster and brewery grains from sustainable partners. Our Land & Sea cat formula, for example, includes chicken and fish as the primary sources of protein, while our Local Harvest dog food features regional vegetables and fruits like cranberries and blueberries, chosen for their health benefits and traceability.
But KALŪ isn’t just about what goes into the bowl. It’s also about how that bowl impacts the world around us.
We are proudly B Corp certified, meaning we meet high standards of social and environmental responsibility, accountability, and transparency. All our packaging is 100% recyclable and carbon neutral, and we offset emissions by planting trees and building the KALŪ Forest. We’ve also moved away from our former zero-waste containers to adopt scalable, more widely accessible sustainable solutions.
We actively engage our community, organizing trash clean-up events and fundraisers for local animal shelters, as well as free dog training clinics and educational initiatives in schools. Every step of our growth is guided by values of care, transparency, and impact.
KALŪ has also been recognized for innovation, receiving support from CRIBIQ and Nova Science, and partnering with Merinov, an oceanic research institute, to develop an exclusive drying technology for upcycled marine proteins—positioning us at the forefront of sustainable pet food innovation in Canada and beyond.
In just a few years, KALŪ has earned the trust of thousands of loyal customers thanks to the real impact of our food on pet health—from shinier coats to better digestion, and yes, empty bowls. We’ve also built strong relationships with our retail partners, offering marketing support, product education, and customer-friendly policies like a satisfaction guarantee and a frequent buyer program.
KALŪ is not just another pet food brand. We are a mission-driven company creating products that support animal well-being, strengthen communities, and protect the environment.
