Campbell Family ‘15
In Latin “Valens” means: Strong, Powerful & Healthy
“Over the past 30 years I have seen a tremendous change in the way we treat and feed our pets. As members of the family, we
want the best for our pets, and with this in mind our team at Valens Pet Nutrition has developed a unique line of innovative
recipes. We believe that Valens diets reflect the most significant nutritional and technological advances made in pet food to
date. Made in Canada, with locally and regionally sourced ingredients, we believe you will be as proud as we are to offer your beloved companions the very best of what Canadian pet
food can be.”

Purpose
Valens Pet Nutrition is a family-owned Canadian company based in British Columbia’s Fraser Valley and Woodstock Ontario.
We believe our pets should be fed diets with high fresh meat inclusions consistent with their evolutionary digestive capabilities, and are committed to creating and supplying only fresh, natural, wholesome and nutritionally balanced cat and dog food meals in healthy, innovative recipes.
As pet owners ourselves, we have sought to perfect the preparation of pet food. Through research we have gone to the next level in formulation and culinary performance by enhancing our grain free, fresh meat recipes with Vita Cube, Valens proprietary freeze dried pure meat cubes, to achieve a Canadian first and make a global contribution to companion animal nutrition and wellness.
We start our recipe formulation with the belief that dogs and cats should be nourished in a manner consistent with their
nutritional needs and evolutionary digestive capabilities, and combine this belief with current advances in nutritional science that provide evidence that our pets are intended to eat meat-rich, grain-free diets consistent with their ancestral guidelines.
We also recognize that dogs are not wolves and function differently as companion animals in today’s society and have
therefore adjusted our recipes for the modern dog.
We include only ingredients in our recipes that directly benefit your animal’s nutrition. These ingredients must meet the quality of foods that go on our own dinner plate before they are approved to go in the bag. This means we allow only fresh, whole ingredients and natural supplements in Valens. All of our ingredients must play an active role in your pet’s nutrition, and for that reason there are absolutely no artificial preservatives,
colors or flavours in any of our recipes.

Valens is a fusion diet that we call FD+K (Freeze-dry + Kibble), which effectively combines the ease and simplicity of feeding what kibble offers, with the aroma and high palatability of raw meat that dogs and cats instinctually crave.
Each of our recipes is paired with a freeze-dry inclusion that we call our Vita-Cube, to both complement the diet and increase its nutritional value.
Freeze-drying is a process of food preservation that only removes the water content from the meat through the process of sublimation, resulting in the most naturally preserved product possible. Removing only the water keeps the cell wall of the meat intact resulting in a food that retains its natural aroma, taste, color, shape and size, while preserving its inherent phytonutrients that include vitamins, minerals, amino acids and enzymes.
Our FD+K fusion provides you with the security and confidence that your pet is receiving natural, preservative-free, value-added recipes that nourish them naturally.
Fusion DIET FD+K
We source all of our fresh de-boned meats from our network of trusted, local and regional farmers and fishermen in Canada.
All our fresh meats are never frozen and transported under refrigerated strict chain-of-custody conditions to ensure the
highest food safety, freshness and nutrient values possible.
Freeze-dried cubes of meat, the Valens Vita Cube, are combined with the kibble to achieve an innovative nutritional formulation
that is a Canadian first and a global contribution to pet nutrition.
To complement the fresh meats and Vita Cube additions, we add whole fruits and vegetables from the Okanagan
and Fraser Valleys. Because all our recipes are grain free, we include delicious sweet potatoes as a source of low glycemic
carbohydrates.
We complete our Valens meals by adding health-boosting botanicals and micro-nutrients that contribute to a shiny coat,
healthy joints, excellent brain function and fresh breath.
Local Ingredients
At Valens we have an ongoing commitment to your pet’s health, safety and well-being, so our cooking process is a critical component of ensuring wholesome, satisfying meal preparation.
Our recipes are made exclusively in beautiful British Columbia’s newest pet food facility in the Fraser Valley that is certified under the Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI) as being a level-3 SQF facility.
We steam cook our recipes in small batches through extrusion technology at exactly 90 degrees for maximum food safety and quality control, to retain all the satisfying flavor and nutrition your pet desires.
We practice a strict “Hold and Test” policy on all of our products to ensure every batch meets our strictest quality guidelines, as well as your family’s and pet’s highest expectations for food safety.
