Factors

Ownership

100.0 reported

CA 100%

The vendor describes itself as a family-owned company of Canadian pet food makers, and madeinca.ca corroborates Canadian ownership. The federal Corporations Canada search returned zero results for the legal name on the site (Lincoln Biotech), which usually means a provincial incorporation; the Ontario Business Registry could not be checked by direct fetch, so no registry confirms the ownership structure.

Manufacturing

88.0 reported

CA 85% · other 15%

The vendor states dry foods are made in Ontario and grain-free wet foods are made mostly in Canada; the qualifier on the wet line implies a minority of production is not domestic, which is estimated here at 15 percent since no exact split is published.

CA 80% · other 20%

Peas, beans and the chicken, turkey, duck and salmon used in dry foods are described as Canadian raised or grown in the prairie provinces and southern Ontario, but lamb is explicitly imported from Australia and the seafood in wet foods is sourced from farms in British Columbia and Thailand, so a minority of inputs are non-Canadian.

  • About Boréal | Boréal Pet Foods · the vendor's own site “The meats used in our dry foods are from Canadian raised chicken, turkey, duck and sustainable salmon farms. Lamb is imported from Australia. Boréal wet foods are from sustainable sea products raised British Columbia and Thailand.”
