Performatrin's own site, fetched via Wayback Machine after performatrin.com returned 403/503 to direct fetches, states only that it works with 'Canadian-First' suppliers and does not name manufacturing plants. The CANADA List directory reports the dry kibble lines (Performatrin, Performatrin Ultra) and the Naturals and Prime wet lines as made in Canada, and the standard Wet and Ultra Wet lines as made in the US; the mix here is estimated at 4 of 6 known product lines in Canada. The Performatrin Culinary raw and gently cooked line's manufacturing location could not be found on the site or in the directory.

Performatrin's food philosophy page claims Canadian-first supplier relationships but does not quantify ingredient sourcing, and the CANADA List notes that even the Canadian-made lines use 'a mix of domestic/imported ingredients.' This mix estimates majority Canadian and US sourced proteins and grains with a smaller share of ingredients sourced from further afield, such as fish used in some recipes; no published ingredient-origin breakdown was found.
