How your pet can help you be a local consumer?

Buying local, choosing products made with sustainable ingredients or eco-friendly farming practices… there are plenty of ways to give Fido or Kitty the best while making better choices for the planet.

What does being a locavore mean?

Locavorism is a movement that supports eating foods that were grown locally, as opposed to products that have travelled thousands of kilometres before ending up in your shopping cart. In other words, a locavore is aware of the problems created by the food industry’s manufacturing methods and in response has decided to adopt responsible consumer habits.

What are the advantages of turning your pet into a locavore?

• It’s a healthy option
• It’s a diet that will cater to their refined palate
• It’s a way to support local producers and businesses
• It’s good for the planet
• It’s a practice that reflects your values
