“As Canada’s largest locally owned and operated pet specialty retailer, Pet Valu has a strong legacy serving devoted pet lovers and their pets’ needs across Canada for almost 50 years. Over this time, we have curated an extensive portfolio of Canadian brands and products, including local emerging and innovative brands, while supporting devoted pet lovers looking for Made in Canada products,” said Greg Ramier, President and Chief Operating Officer at Pet Valu.

“Today we’re taking our commitment to supporting Canadian brands a step further by introducing new lower prices on an excellent and popular Canadian brand, Performatrin Prime, positioning it as the best priced pet food in the scientific nutrition category within our stores and digital channel.”

Made exclusively in Canada, Performatrin Prime dry dog and cat food is a premium, science-backed nutrition tailored for each pet’s life stage and health needs. Other highlights include a protein-first ingredient deck, which excludes fillers like wheat, soy, animal by-products, artificial flavours, preservatives or colours. Most Performatrin Prime formulas also contain a bonus three-tier dental health system* to help reduce plaque and tartar build up as pets eat.  Performatrin Prime dry dog and cat food is available in Adult, Puppy, Kitten, Senior, Small Breed, Medium Breed, Large Breed Size, Indoor cat, Healthy Weight, Hairball, Sensitive Skin & Stomach, Oral Care and Urinary Care, explained the company.

As the national feeding sponsor of Lions Foundation of Canada Dog Guides, Pet Valu provides Performatrin Prime and Performatrin Ultra® food and treats to all puppies and dogs in training, ensuring these hardworking puppies and dogs have the right nutrition to meet their daily energy and nutrient requirements, it added.
