Global Pet Foods opened the first store in 1976 with a bold vision: to build a pet food store unlike any other—one that prioritized holistic wellness and natural pet nutrition at a time when these ideas were just emerging in pet care.
Nearly five decades later, that single innovative store has grown into 230 franchised locations across Canada. Today, Global Pet Foods stands as North America’s largest privately-owned pet specialty retailer—proudly 100% Canadian-owned and operated and built on a dependable, proven system with the largest selection of Canadian-made and premium products that are not found in mass retail outlets.
Our franchisees help pet parents make informed decisions that lead to longer, healthier, happier lives for pets and their families—while building successful businesses of their own.
We are seeking qualified applicants who are interested in building a thriving business as a Global Pet Foods owner-operator.

Testimonials
Everything I care about is written all over the store—in the products, in the service, in the way we get involved with the community. It’s this perfect merger of all the great things about an independent pet store with all the help and support of a franchise. – Amelia, Multi-Store Owner.
The best thing about being a Global Pet Foods franchisee is having the ability to help owners with the issues their pets may have. I love being able to meet lots of different people and their animals daily. Helping new and experienced pet owners resolve issues with their pets and being able to see/hear about the results has been the most rewarding experiences. Being a Canadian-owned franchise, mixed with my love of pets made the decision easy to open a Global Pet Foods. I would do it all over again. – Marco, franchisee
