Nordika Dog Food Launches as a New Premium Nutrition Brand at Ren's Pets

Montreal, Quebec, April 9, 2026 – Pet owners’ habits are changing rapidly, especially when it comes to buying local. Across Canada, 87% of consumers already prioritize or plan to prioritize products made in Canada, reflecting a growing interest in locally made goods.*

At the same time, dog owners are increasingly adopting feeding habits inspired by their own diets, favoring natural, simple, minimally processed recipes without compromising on quality.

It is within this context that Nordika was created, a new Quebec-made dog food brand designed and produced in Quebec using high-quality Canadian ingredients.

Inspired by Canadian nature, Nordika offers protein-rich recipes carefully formulated to meet dogs’ real nutritional needs while keeping pace with evolving consumer expectations.

One Brand, Three Promises:

1. High Protein Content

Nordika stands out with naturally protein-rich recipes made from Canadian animal sources. Produced in Quebec and crafted using a careful selection of fresh ingredients, each formula helps support a dog’s energy, muscle mass, and overall well-being. With a high protein content (up to 50%), Nordika provides complete nutrition tailored to the real needs of dogs, regardless of their activity level or life stage.

Four formulas highlighting 100% Canadian protein:

Pastoral Poultry
Dandy Duck and Cranberries
Rustik Red (beef and pork)
Nordic Salmon

2. Balanced Nutrition

Each Nordika recipe is carefully formulated to provide an optimal balance of proteins, fibers, vitamins, and minerals. This holistic approach supports digestion, strengthens the immune system, and promotes overall well-being. The combination of functional ingredients and natural superfoods ensures complete and consistent nutrition, designed to support dogs throughout the seasons.

"With Nordika, we wanted to create a product line deeply rooted in the Canadian terroir while meeting dogs’ nutritional needs," says Anik Kerr-Denis, Director of Exclusive Brands at Legault Group.

3. Simple, Fresh, Natural Ingredients with Irresistible Taste

Nordika emphasizes a short, simple, and natural ingredient list. Natural superfoods, such as ancient grains, turmeric, and fresh Canadian proteins, play a central role in our recipes. Using fresh ingredients enhances digestibility, nutritional quality, and flavor.

Palatability is one of Nordika’s greatest strengths: in taste tests, 75% of dogs chose Nordika on the first try, proving its appeal and exceptional aroma.
