Shop Canadian: A Guide to Canadian Brands for Pet-Friendly Outdoor Travel Lovers

ByBritt Kascjak Posted on Updated on

There is no denying that 2025 has been quite the year already, and we’re just getting into it. As you are likely aware, changes in the United States threaten Canada as a sovereign nation and the economy we rely on. As a result, many of us are making changes where possible to shop Canadian businesses.

Of course, finding information about what businesses are Canadian can be challenging…

I have taken the time to research each of the brands on this list, creating a comprehensive resource I believe will help all outdoor lovers and pet parents shop Canadian with confidence.

The following guide includes Canadian camping gear, Canadian hiking gear, Canadian pet food, Canadian pet grooming products, Canadian pet adventure gear, and more.

Note: The brand links on each brand name are NOT affiliate links. This guide was put together to be a resource and not a money-making endeavour.

  2. This list is has so many incorrect claims but you can see why when most of the company’s claim designed in Canada or proudly Canadian and just simply showing a maple leaf but if you going to write an article for canadines to shop some research needs to be done most of the gear company’s are made in China, i looked into a handful and over half was not made in canada!
    Smellydogz is a proudly Canadian company created by two passionate dog lovers. We make stink-free dog collars, leads, and harnesses that your dog will love! – no gear is actually made in Canada and no claim to be so where did the information appear from

    1. There are definitely companies making their gear in Canada. Others assemble their gear using materials sourced from outside of Canada in a Canadian factory. A great example is RC Pets. They have a 20,000 sq ft facility in Vancouver where their gear is made. The information is out there with a little research.
