Discover trusted suppliers in Ottawa offering reliable inventory and fast delivery.

If you operate a pet store, grooming salon, rescue, or multi-pet household in the Ottawa region, you already know that sourcing quality cat food at wholesale prices isn’t as straightforward as it should be. You want products that are consistent, ethical, and healthy—without sacrificing profit margin or waiting weeks for delivery.

At Raw Fed and Furry, we hear this every day. That’s why we’ve expanded our wholesale options for cat food buyers in Ottawa and surrounding areas. Whether you’re looking for bulk savings, locally stocked inventory, or just more dependable deliveries, we’re here to make it easier.

Here’s what to look for—and how to build a wholesale partnership that works.


Why Local Wholesale Cat Food Matters

Buying wholesale cat food isn't just about cost savings. For businesses and bulk buyers, it's about reliability, trust, and long-term planning.

When you source locally, you get:

  • Shorter lead times

  • Better control over inventory

  • Easier communication with suppliers

  • The ability to build real relationships

In a supply chain climate where shipping delays and stock gaps are becoming the norm, working with a wholesale provider based in or near Ottawa offers peace of mind—and profit protection.


What Ottawa Buyers Are Struggling With Right Now


Let’s unpack some of the biggest frustrations we’ve heard from business owners in the field—and how to approach them more strategically.

Challenge #1 – Limited Availability of Local Wholesale Suppliers


Many wholesale pet food suppliers are focused on dog products or operate out of province. As a result, Ottawa-area businesses often feel left out when it comes to reliable, cat-focused inventory that’s actually available nearby.

Some suppliers might require minimum orders that don’t fit your scale. Others might offer inconsistent access to popular brands or niche options, leaving you scrambling when demand spikes.

At Raw Fed and Furry, our wholesale cat food program is built with flexibility in mind. We cater to businesses of different sizes and stock locally stored, nutritionally sound options for both raw and conventional feeding styles.


Challenge #2 – Quality Control and Transparency


Whether you’re serving customers or caring for animals in bulk, your reputation depends on the food you stock. And while big-box wholesalers might offer low prices, they often leave you guessing about:

  • Ingredient sourcing

  • Nutritional breakdowns

  • Product recalls or safety alerts

  • Brand integrity

This is where smaller, specialized suppliers can shine.

We’ve partnered with vetted Canadian brands that prioritize ingredient traceability, ethical sourcing, and natural nutrition. Everything we carry is reviewed for quality and backed by our in-house nutrition team—because you deserve better than mystery meat in a bulk box.


Challenge #3 – Competitive Pricing and Profit Margins


Let’s be honest—this is a numbers game. You need to balance competitive shelf pricing with wholesale costs that make business sense. But many suppliers structure their pricing models for national chains, leaving small businesses stuck with less favorable deals.

That’s where we’re different.

At Raw Fed and Furry, our wholesale program is designed with smaller operations in mind. Whether you’re ordering 10 cases a month or 100, we work with you to ensure your margins stay strong and your costs stay predictable.

We also offer:

  • Volume discounts

  • Brand-specific promotions

  • Seasonal bulk pricing

  • Low minimum order quantities

You can even mix and match product types to create custom orders that match your clientele’s needs.


Challenge #4 – Logistics and Delivery Delays


Even the best products won’t help your business if they don’t show up on time. Between national carriers and limited shipping windows, many Ottawa-area businesses find themselves delayed—or hit with surprise freight charges.

That’s why local delivery matters.

Raw Fed and Furry offers streamlined logistics for Ottawa and the surrounding areas. We keep inventory close by, manage our own fulfillment, and offer:

  • Flexible pickup times at our Orleans location

  • Delivery scheduling for business accounts

  • Climate-controlled transport to protect raw and frozen products

Whether you need a same-week restock or a recurring drop-off, we’ll make it work—without disrupting your operations.
