Canadian pet-food company Jupiter has entered a partnership with Food 4 Pets Canada as they seek to establish a position in both dry and wet dog and cat foods.
Quebec-based Jupiter was set up in 2019 by two family-run businesses – Canadian poultry processor Groupe Inovo and Groupe Legault, which owns the Mondou pet-store chain. The company is building a production facility in the city of Drummondville which is expected to be up and running by the end of the year for its dry food range.
