Oregon, USA - October 7, 2008 - Castor & Pollux Pet Works, one of the most respected
names in organic pet food and treats, has announced distribution in Toronto and other
areas of Eastern Canada.
Distribution covers Ontario, Quebec and the Maritimes and is being handled by Leis Pet
Distributing. Products - including Organix adult canine, feline and puppy formula dry
foods, canned formulas for dogs and cats, and dog cookies and cat treats - are now available
on store shelves at Whole Foods, select Global Ryan's and specialty pet stores. Launched in
the U.S. in 2000, Castor & Pollux is a pioneer in the organic and natural pet products
industry. International expansion and increased consumer demand for organics has lead to
rapid growth and a spot on the Inc. 5,000 ranking in 2007 and 2008. The brand has been
available in Western Canada since 2003.
"More and more consumers are making the switch over to organic and natural pet food
brands as a result of the way they themselves are living," said Hugh Rice of Leis. "Pets
everywhere are being treated as members of the family."
Castor & Pollux Pet Works was founded by Toronto-area natives Shelley Gunton and Brian
Connolly to enrich and expand the lives of pets and people they love. For nearly a decade,
the duo has been creating nutritionally superior food and treats for canines and felines
around the world under the Castor & Pollux name. The new product distribution in
Eastern Canada has brought their careers, and lives, full-circle.
