The Hungry Pooch is a Canadian-owned, family-run pet boutique that has quietly become one of the most trusted curators of clean treats, fresh food and breeder-approved supply in the country.

What sets them apart

Where most pet stores stock whatever the distributor pushes, The Hungry Pooch curates. Every treat on their shelves is vetted for ingredient quality, sourcing, and how it actually fits a Canadian raw, fresh or whole-food feeding plan. You will not find dyed, mystery-meat treats here — you will find Canadian-made single ingredient chews, freeze-dried liver, dehydrated organ pieces, and bakery treats made in-house with recognizable ingredients.

A breeder's shopping list

• Training treats — small, smelly, single-ingredient picks that fit a puppy's daily caloric envelope.
• Whelping & weaning support — fresh raw, goat milk, bone broth, and recovery toppers our sponsoring breeders send home in puppy packs.
• Enrichment — antlers, bully sticks, beef trachea, lamb ears — long chews to settle a busy dog after an adventure.
• Go-home essentials — collars, leashes, slow feeders, and the puppy starter kits we recommend to first-time owners.

Why they sponsor Paw Privileges

The Hungry Pooch shares our standard: Canadian-made, ethically sourced, fresh or whole-food first, and never pushed where it does not fit. When our recommendation engine surfaces a treat suggestion for your dog's next training session or adventure, it is because The Hungry Pooch carries something that genuinely matches — not because a brand paid to be there.

Visit or order

The Hungry Pooch is based in Canada and ships nationally. Browse the shop at thehungrypooch.ca or ask your breeder which Hungry Pooch picks they recommend for your puppy's first weeks home.

Treats should make up no more than ~10% of your dog's daily calories. When in doubt, ask your breeder or your veterinarian what fits your dog's life stage.
