Red Dog Blue Kat (RDBK) Celebrates 20 Years as the Top Choice for Pet Parents Who Demand the Best for Their Furry Family Members

Since 2004, Red Dog Blue Kat (RDBK) has been the original choice for pet parents who demand the best for their furry family members. Our commitment to human-grade quality ingredients, transparent farm-to-bowl sourcing, and exceptional food safety is reflected in our state-of-the-art, HACCP-verified manufacturing facility in Port Coquitlam, British Columbia.

Inna, Founder and CEO of Red Dog Blue Kat, shares how this journey began: “Over 20 years ago, I met Louise and Linda at McDonald Dog Beach in Richmond, BC. We bonded over our shared belief that pets are cherished family members deserving of transparency in their nutrition. My Irish Wolfhound, Adhara, was suffering from unexplained health issues due to the highly processed, synthetic pet food available at the time.

In 2003, driven by our passion and armed with a meat grinder, we founded Red Dog Deli in the historic Save On Meats building in Vancouver. Our goal was simple: to provide pets with real, fresh food grounded in food science. What started with three women, a kitchen, and a dream has evolved into a 100,000-square-foot state-of-the-art facility, supported by a community of dedicated pet parents and employees. Our commitment remains steadfast—to ensure that pets are fed with the same care and attention as family members.”

Why Retailers are Choosing RDBK:

• Proudly Canadian: Choosing RDBK means supporting a women-led small business based in British Columbia, along with Canadian family farmers, suppliers, and local pet stores that we've partnered with in your community.

• Top Food Safety: Our state-of-the-art manufacturing facility is HACCP-verified, following an internationally recognized food safety defence program used in human food production—providing you with peace of mind, knowing that your family's health is protected in an unregulated industry.

• Whole Food Ingredients: No synthetics, additives, or fillers—just simple, clean, minimally processed, human-grade meats and vegetables, exactly as nature intended.

• Transparency Guarantee: Unlike others who mass print labels and don't update them for ingredient changes, we print our labels on the day of production. This way, you can trust that what’s on the label is exactly what's in the bag.

• Allergen Control: For us, pets with food allergies and sensitivities matter. That's why we have strict cross-contamination controls in place to keep your pets safe in an industry where 'may contain' allergen warnings are not required.

• Ethical Sourcing: We only use human-grade, traceable ingredients, like grass-fed Alberta beef, sourced from the same trusted suppliers that fill our local grocery stores.
