Founded in 2005 by Richard Bégin, Pitou Minou & Compagnons has become a reference for animal care and well-being across Quebec. With 42 stores, the company doesn't just sell animal products; it champions a philosophy of companionship, treating each pet with care and compassion. Its extensive product range, including specialized diets, stimulating toys, and practical accessories, is carefully curated to address the diverse needs of pets, ensuring both quality and safety.
A deep understanding of pet nutrition is central to Pitou Minou & Compagnons' approach. The team is specially trained to help pet owners find nutritious solutions tailored to the unique needs of their pets, whether dealing with intolerances or specific health requirements. The company favours natural, wholesome ingredients tested for quality, and most of its products are made in Canada, reinforcing its commitment to total traceability and transparency. In collaboration with the Global Pet Foods banner, Pitou Minou & Compagnons advocates for diets that genuinely enhance animal health.
The ethical and eco-responsible dimension is at the core of Pitou Minou & Compagnons' identity. Pitou Minou & Compagnons promotes responsible adoption and actively engages in community initiatives to advocate for animal rights. It strives to provide environmentally friendly products and encourages pet owners to make sustainable choices. Each store is designed to be a welcoming space where pets are comfortable, and owners can exchange experiences and gain knowledge from experts.
With a strong emphasis on local sourcing, Pitou Minou & Compagnons supports the local economy and community producers and suppliers. "By promoting local purchasing, we contribute to job creation, reduce our ecological impact by minimizing transport, and foster a sustainable distribution network. It also strengthens our ties with local partners, ensuring we offer our customers high-quality products that meet the specific needs of their pets while supporting local enterprises," the company states.
By embodying commitment, expertise, and responsibility, Pitou Minou & Compagnons transcends the typical pet product retailer to become a trusted destination where every animal is cherished and animal welfare is paramount.
