Inventory: 6 B.C.-based pet products to pamper your pups

We sniff out six B.C.-based brands offering high-quality dog products

Treat your furry friends to quality B.C.-based pet products from these six vendors.

1. Get That Bag?

Monty’s Bags

Zoë John founded Chilliwack-based Monty’s Bags in 2021 with the launch of its hero product: biodegradable waste bags. Made from plant materials like cornstarch, these bags are designed to decompose within three to six months in order to help pet owners ensure a lower environmental impact for a much-needed pup product.

2. Paw-some Selection

Good Boy Collective

Vancouver-based Good Boy Collective was founded by Dayandra Elrod in 2017 to showcase small brands doing great things in the pet space: from crocheted toys to end-to-end traceable food. Good Boy Collective also sells its own brand of stylish, locally made leashes and collars.

3. Buy Fur-ever

Strange Tails

Savannah Boyd and her husband Jake Meadows founded Vancouver-based Strange Tails in 2021 with a mission to create high-quality gear for their dog, Finley. The custom leashes and collars are handmade, functional, waterproof and stylish.

4. Bone Appétit

Dogged

Husband and wife duo Trevor and Taryn White founded Vancouver-based Dogged in 2023 after the loss of their beloved French bulldog. With the help of Trevor’s background as a certified canine nutritionist and Taryn’s eye for design, they launched their top seller: silicon food bowls that slow down hungry dogs. The “slow feeders” are functional, aesthetically pleasing and free of micro-plastics.

5. Snack Down

Foley Dog Treat Company

Cheryl Foley started out handcrafting dog treats with human-grade ingredients from her home kitchen in 2009. Today, Nanaimo-based Foley Dog Treat Company has expanded its production and guarantees safe, traceable products.

6. New Leash  on Life

Wood Mountain Naturals

When Cathie Bal’s dog, Zara, needed a specialized raw diet and the only compatible brand was discontinued, she conferred with a team of veterinarians and consultants to develop some recipes. Armstrong-based Wood Mountain Naturals offers quality-tested, nutritionally balanced food that’s made from 98-percent Canadian ingredients.
