Canada both imports and exports pet food on a tremendous scale. Canadian pet food manufacturers export to almost 90 countries, according to the Pet Food Association of Canada. The United States receives the majority of these exports. At the same time, Canada is the largest export market for pet food made in the U.S. The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) oversees pet food imports and exports. The organization inspects importation facilities, negotiates export certificates and ensures compliance with foreign rules and regulations. For pet foods coming into Canada, CFIA ensures that ingredients and finished products originated from countries and facilities that meet local and Canadian requirements.
Mordor Intelligence estimated that Canada’s pet food market would reach US$4.79 billion in 2024, reaching US$5.96 billion by 2029 while growing at a CAGR of 4.47% from 2024 to 2029. Meanwhile, Statista forecast Canada’s pet food market to hit US$3.89 billion in 2024 with a CAGR of 3.59% during that same period. Regardless of the varying estimates, the Canadian pet food industry is fueling the growth of homegrown businesses.
