I’m holistic cat trainer in Vancouver, and healthy nutrition is foundational part of my work because healthy, natural, well-hydrating food doesn’t only keep our cats healthy, but also emotionally regulated, and deeply fulfilled.
I only recommend canned wet or raw food for the main meals, plus healthy natural treats for snacking in between.
A Quick Note:
My selection of the cat food brands below is based on ingredient quality, ingredient sourcing, manufacturing standards, brand reputation, and recall history.
I will soon publish a master cat food brand review blog post with details on each of my favourite brands, and why I recommend them.
I will link to it here once it’s published.
Why I Recommend Bosley’s in Vancouver
Even though Bosley’s is not a natural pet store, per say. They still carry a wide range of junk food and legacy brands, but they also carry a large collection of natural, high quality brands that I love, and their stores are widely available all over the city.
Store Highlights
Bosley’s by Pet Valu is a Canadian pet supply retail chain operating through a combination of independently owned franchises and corporate-owned stores. With locations throughout Vancouver, they’re a convenient and accessible option for local cat parents.
Both Bosley’s and Tisol operate under the same parent company, Pet Valu, and carry almost the same cat food brands.
That means the brands I recommend below are available at both retailers.
Store Locations

Since both Bosley’s and Tisol have stores almost everywhere, I won’t bother with listing their locations.

My Go-To Healthy Natural Cat Treats
My go-to cat treats are freeze-dried proteins that are meat-based. Those are very simple, easy to digest, natural proteins that are highly nutritious, low in calories, and my cat clients absolutely love them.
Organ treats, especially liver, should be given in moderation.
- PureBites (salmon & chicken meat)
- Orijen (Six fish and poultry)

- Ultra lickables.
