Hi all,
I have been on the search for Canadian owners to chat about pet care. As you all probably know, sometimes having pets in Canada can be more difficult...I have chinchillas (which are considered exotics) so I know ALL about this. However, I have found that finding cat products can be a little hard as well. For example, I am looking for an Innova distributor and have hit nothing but roadblocks.
Anyway, if you're in Canada, say hi!

That's ok!
It's a brand of food...a friend of mine in BC can get it, but I haven't found it here yet.

I knew there had to be at least one other owner from Canada on here.

I did a search on it and apparently we're having the same luck, lol. :tounge2: I found one distributor online in Canada, but when I clicked on it I got a 404 error. Figures.

Good luck with your search!

A site that might ship it to you:

"Shipping of pet food is difficult and expensive, so we would urge you to order it locally. However, if you cannot find good food and are willing to pay shipping charges, we can talk to you further about some options."

But they're in Ontario so it would probably cost an arm and a leg to get it shipped to Alberta.

Welcome fellow Canadian!

I found a list of stores in Alberta that are authorized Natura dealers (the makers of Innova). Here's the list Natura/Innova Dealers

Here is the main website for Natura Pet Products: Natura

You can also ask your local pet store if they will order in the product for you. Usually if many customers start requesting a product the store will begin carrying it because of the demand.

Good Luck!

Wow!! Thanks everyone! I wil definitely check out those sites.


Tamme, I was looking for cat owners...but I also have chins, a dog, fish, and a fiddler crab.

It's so nice to see so many Canadians here.
Interesting that several of you are in BC...I have a pet owners forum for Canadians and we have a huge proportion of members from BC compared to the rest of the province.


Anymore lurkers out there?

Hi all!
I love living in Canada, but frankly, I'm a little sick of this cold snap we're having!

Wow, lots from BC, and lots from Ontario.
You all on the West coast are so lucky to be having such nice weather.

I thought I'd mention for all you Canadians, I have a site that is geared towards Canadian pet owners of all kinds. You are more than welcome to join. It is by no means meant to be in competition to this site (I could never keep up!) but just a friendly community of Canadians.
We also welcome members not from Canada as well. Anyway, I am looking for some good cat experts (especially when it comes to nutrition) so if you feel you can contribute something, by all means jump right in.

Howdy! I live in Montreal, Quebec. If you thought YOUR winter was tough, we've got hip-deep snow and our high today is -10 w/o the wind chill!
