Top » Column » [gather] What is food made with organic ingredients from Canada?
Gather, which was born in Canada, is organic, sustainable, and practical. It is made with the desire to make food for dogs and cats with ingredients that are transparent and connected to the producers.
This food is made by going to farms, ranches and the sea, painstakingly selecting and collecting ingredients that are harvested appropriately for the soil, plants, livestock and fish.
Bow Wow Place offers a wide selection of high-quality, additive-free pet foods.
This time we will introduce you to the premium food gather from Canada in detail.
1. About the manufacturer of gather
First, let's take a look at Petcurean.
Petcurean 's Promise
Our pet nutritionists focus on a balance of fresh and simple ingredients because the health of your beloved dog or cat is our passion.
◆ Gathering
Every Gather recipe is made with the highest quality, healthy, flavorful ingredients. We have strict standards and select the most trusted farmers, ranchers, and producers. Because we put our partners first, we never use by-products, rendered products, or artificial additives.2. Features of gather
◆ All ingredients are sourced from trusted producers.
All ingredients are sourced from trusted producers who meet Petcurean's very strict standards.
We put pets first, so we do not use any by-products, meat meals from unknown origins, or ingredients imported from China.
And it goes without saying that all ingredients are non-GMO.
It also contains krill, a superfood from the sea, which as far as we know at this stage is an ingredient that is rarely seen in dog food.
Krill oil: Krill (Euphausia superba) is a plankton crustacean similar to shrimp. Krill, which lives in the Antarctic, is an important food source for animals living in the Antarctic Circle, but in recent years it has also been attracting attention as an important source of nutrition for both humans and pets.
◆ Nothing unnecessary is used.
Genetically modified foods
By-products and rendering products
Meat treated with antibiotics and growth hormones
Artificial additives (coloring agents, fragrances, scientific preservatives)
Corn, wheat, soybeans
These are not used at all.
◆ Certification by a third party
・COR Organic CertifiedIt is awarded based on the Canadian Organic Regime (COR). Japan's organic JAS system and Canada's COR system mutually recognize that the organic systems of both countries are equivalent.
・USDA Organic Certified
Organic certification is awarded based on the organic food standards established by the NOP, an agency of the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). To receive certification, it is necessary to prove that no pesticides have been used on the cultivation site for more than three years, submit organic products and other proof such as an organic cultivation plan, and have an on-site inspection by an inspector approved by the government.
◆ Food with an emphasis on sustainability
The packaging is also made from sustainably produced bioplastic made from sugarcane.In recent years, the health hazards of tiny microplastics contaminating natural foods have become a concern, so by using packaging made from 30% plant materials, we are reducing the use of petroleum-based resources. *Excluding the 454g size.
Although we enjoy convenient and prosperous lifestyles in modern times, it has become increasingly difficult to obtain safe, delicious, and sustainable food ingredients.
Gather expands its thoughts beyond the materials it collects, and values the connections with producers who have diligently produced products grown in the earth, creating products within a system that will ensure these connections continue into the future.
3. Gather Fees and Food Costs
Pet food is sold in a variety of gram amounts, so at a glance it can be hard to get an idea of the daily or monthly cost of food.

◆ Gather (gather) food expenses
Calculations are based on the price of gather Free Acre for dogs 2.72kg and for cats 1.81kg.
*The following market prices as of August 2023 are used as a reference. Feeding amounts are calculated by multiplying the median price by 30 days.
Gather Freeacre Dog Food (2.72kg/11,880 yen (tax included))
Gather Freeacre Cat Food (1.81kg/8,230 yen (tax included))
Food costs for adult dogs/month (yen)
| Weight (kg) | Adult dogs (yen) | Adult active dog (yen) |
| 1-2.3kg | Approximately 5,310 yen | Approximately 6,620 yen |
| 2.3-4.5kg | Approximately 9,440 yen | Approximately 11,800 yen |
| 4.5-9kg | Approximately 15,870 yen | Approximately 19,870 yen |
| 9-13.6kg | Approximately 23,400 yen | Approximately 29,370 yen |
| 13.6-23kg | Approximately 33,170 yen | Approximately 41,760 yen |
| 23-32kg | About 45,170 yen | Approximately 56,770 yen |
| 32-41kg | About 56,110 yen | Approximately 70,530 yen |
| 41-50kg | About 66,340 yen | Approximately 83,450 yen |
| 50-64kg | Approximately 78,400 yen | About 98,590 yen |
Food costs for adult cats/month (yen)
| Weight (kg) | Adult cats (yen) | Active adult cat (yen) |
| 2.3-3.2kg | Approximately 5,050 yen | Approximately 6,080 yen |
| 3.2-4.5kg | Approximately 7,170 yen | Approximately 8,670 yen |
| 4.5-6kg | Approximately 9,760 yen | Approximately 11,740 yen |
| 6-7.3kg | Approximately 12,290 yen | Approximately 14,750 yen |
| 7.3-9kg | Approximately 15,220 yen | Approximately 18,290 yen |
The price for a 5kg adult dog is approximately 15,870 yen , and the price for a 4kg adult cat is approximately 7,170 yen , so I think it can be said to be a little expensive among premium foods.
I think it would be a good idea to change the food and adjust the frequency of use.
