An Expert Committee Dedicated to Animal Well-Being

At Ren’s Pets, we strive every day to be the trusted and heartfelt destination for pet parents. This ambition is part of a broader vision led by Legault Group, which brings together the Mondou, Ren’s Pets, and Homes Alive Pets banners.

With more than 170 stores across Canada, Legault Group is a leader in the pet industry. The company manufactures, distributes, and markets pet food, treats, and accessories, while offering in-store a wide assortment of national brands and exclusive brands such as Vetdiet, Romeo, O’Select, BeOneBreed, Tux, and many others.

In this context, animal well-being remains at the heart of our mission and values. To support this commitment with rigor and consistency, Legault Group relies on an independent expert advisory committee: C.A.R.E.

What is C.A.R.E.?

C.A.R.E., the Committee for Animal Responsibility and Engagement, brings together recognized experts with diverse and complementary expertise. Its mission is to inform and guide Legault Group’s thinking, decisions, and initiatives related to animal well-being, grounded in strong knowledge and responsible practices.

Committee members come from several Canadian provinces, including Alberta, Ontario, and Quebec, providing a national perspective that reflects best practices across the country. Their expertise spans key areas such as animal health, nutrition, behavioral science, ethics, and research. They are selected for their credibility, experience, and recognized contributions in their respective fields.

The Mission of the C.A.R.E. Committee

The C.A.R.E. Committee ensures that our decisions and actions remain aligned with our commitment to animal well-being, guided by the insights of independent experts.

It helps us anticipate trends and stay at the forefront of evolving standards across Canada, while ensuring that our brands, products, services, and initiatives meaningfully contribute to improving the lives of animals.

C.A.R.E. also plays an important role in strengthening Legault Group’s credibility and building lasting trust with customers, partners, and the broader community.
