Welcome to Pawfection Pet Foods
Hello, and thank you for joining us! We’re thrilled to create a community where we can share all things paw’d and celebrate the love we have for our furry companions. We can’t wait to hear from you, learn together, and grow as part of the Pawfection pack.
The Story Behind Pawfection
Pawfection began as a personal mission, not a business. In 2016, I started making homemade treats for Koda and Kilo because I was concerned about the questionable ingredients and sourcing in store-bought options. From the start, my treats have always been simple, 100% meat, often just boiled. They were soggy but loved. Everything changed when I moved back home to PEI and stumbled upon a commercial dehydrator on Marketplace.
What began as a hobby turned into something special as I shared treats with friends and family, quickly winning over their animals. In no time, their pets were devote Pawfection pets, demanding more. (Was I the local neighborhood treat plug? Maybe!) Your encouragement and support gave me the confidence to turn my passion into a business I love; a business with a purpose I deeply believe in.
Our Mission
At Pawfection Pet Foods, our mission is to revolutionize pet nutrition. We’re here to provide animals with the nourishment they need to thrive, not just survive. Through wholesome, accessible, and convenient options, we empower pet parents with knowledge about alternatives to highly processed foods. When we know better, we can do better for our furry family members.
Our Commitment to Local and Sustainable Practices
We’re proud to source high-quality, human-grade ingredients locally, showcasing the exceptional foods PEI and the Maritimes are known for. This not only ensures the best for your pets but also supports the vibrant community that makes it all possible.
When you choose Pawfection, you’re doing more than feeding your pet, you’re reinvesting in our local economy. Up to 70 cents of every dollar spent at local businesses stays within the community, compared to only 48 cents per dollar with larger companies. Beyond the economics, buying local reduces food miles, minimizes carbon footprints, and supports sustainable, eco-friendly practices.
Conventional pet foods often rely on globally sourced ingredients, traveling thousands of kilometers before reaching your pet’s bowl. While many here enjoy exotic treats like avocados and mangoes, the environmental toll of transportation is staggering. Pawfection prioritizes local production and ethical sourcing because we believe pets, people, and the planet deserve the best.
The Pawfection Difference
At Pawfection, we use one of the oldest and most sustainable methods of food preservation: drying. Drying food to preserve it dates back to at least 12,000 B.C.! This method allows us to deliver all-natural food options without preservatives, synthetics, or unnecessary processing.
While no preservation method retains all original nutrients, our state-of-the-art, low-temperature dehydration techniques help preserve as much natural goodness as possible. By gently removing moisture, this process locks in the majority of nutrients while concentrating flavors, resulting in wholesome, delicious treats and meals your pets will love.
Our approach centers on whole nutrition, a complete, balanced array of nutrients designed by nature. By using whole animals in our recipes, we harness the synergistic benefits of all their natural components working together. This is why many of our products, including treats, incorporate whole-prey nutrition by using the entire animal: muscle, offal, bone, and cartilage, to contribute to a naturally balanced diet.
With a diverse range of nutrient-rich options, Pawfection is dedicated to meeting your pets’ needs and helping them thrive. We’re continually evolving to bring you the best, so your furry companions can enjoy a happy, healthy life.
