Dogs and cats bring a lot of value to working farms, so it makes sense that we should return the favour. Co-op Pet Food is one of the key ways to do so.
Co-op Pet Food is manufactured in Western Canada by Taplow Feeds, a leading pet food manufacturer with 35 years’ experience creating premium dog and cat food formulas. As an award-winning manufacturer, their formulas not only use high-quality ingredients, but their research and development team ensures each batch and bag meets the nutritional needs of your pet. A nutrient-rich formula means less bulk and fewer trips to the local veterinarian.
“When sourcing our brand of pet food, we wanted to ensure that it checked all the boxes for what a high-quality pet food product should be,” explains Kevin Liu, FCL Home and Building Solutions B2C manager. “I’m proud to say that we’ve accomplished that goal with Co-op Pet Food.”
The veterinarian-formulated pet food is a nutritionally dense product that reduces the average amount of food required daily, while still providing the required nutritional and satiety benefits. Farm dogs are on the move all day and need a high-protein diet for muscle and endurance, while cats that live outdoors need dense nutrition to maintain weight and health through cold nights. Available at Co-op Agro Centres and Home Centres, pet owners can take comfort in knowing they’re giving their dog or cat a high-quality product from a team that keeps their health top of mind.
“A healthy pet is a happy pet,’ Liu says.
Co-op Pet Food comes in four options: Cat Food Complete Formula (15 kg and 7.5 kg), Dog Food Complete Formula (15 kg) and Dog Food High Protein Formula (15 kg).
