KAL\u016a 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.<\/p>\n
The company was founded in Montreal by James, a passionate entrepreneur, musician, and devoted dog dad. The passing of his first dog, Callie\u2014nicknamed “Calou”\u2014to 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\u2019s making waves in both independent stores and major chains.<\/p>\n
What truly sets KAL\u016a apart is our unwavering commitment to nutritional excellence. Our formulas are rich in animal proteins\u2014up to 90%\u2014and 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.<\/p>\n
But KAL\u016a isn\u2019t just about what goes into the bowl. It\u2019s also about how that bowl impacts the world around us.<\/p>\n
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 KAL\u016a Forest. We\u2019ve also moved away from our former zero-waste containers to adopt scalable, more widely accessible sustainable solutions.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
KAL\u016a 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\u2014positioning us at the forefront of sustainable pet food innovation in Canada and beyond.<\/p>\n
In just a few years, KAL\u016a has earned the trust of thousands of loyal customers thanks to the real impact of our food on pet health\u2014from shinier coats to better digestion, and yes, empty bowls. We\u2019ve 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.<\/p>\n
KAL\u016a 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.<\/p>\n","url":"http:\/\/kalu.co","url_text":"http:\/\/kalu.co","main_services":"- Pet food - Pet treats - Dog food - Cat food - Dehydrated treats - Natural pet food and treats - Sustainable pet food and treats","intro_text":"","image_1":false,"client_review":"","why_we":"","history":"","image_2":false,"image_3":false},"yoast_head":"\n
