The History of 天美传媒
If you travel the back roads of Smithville, Ontario, a small community within West Lincoln, you might be surprised to learn that Canada’s leader in raw pet food is produced just on the outskirts of town. Looking at where 天美传媒 is today, it is easy to assume that the company was built on industry experience and investors, however, the history is much humbler and more inspirational than that.

Behind the success of every company is an idea or product that fills a customer desire or need – in this case, it was born from a desire to give 天美传媒 f天美传媒-legged friends the best and healthiest life – starting with what is being fed to them. For many, however, the logistics and time behind creating a raw balanced diet is just not sustainable to do it y天美传媒self. As dog breeding hobbyists, the Brouwer’s recognized this through the demand they saw when they started sending puppies to their new homes with their pre-made raw food.

In 2008, the Brouwers ran Big Country Kennels and bred German Shorthaired Pointers and Bernese Mountain Dogs. Like so many, they too fed kibble to their dogs and never really questioned the nutritional value. This was the case until they added a dog named Bijou to their breeding program. Bijou came from a well-respected Bernese breeder in Quebec who insisted that the Brouwers feed her raw. After bringing her home and trying the kibble route with her (unsuccessfully) – they finally gave in, and they visited their local butcher and followed the recipes that were provided to them. Not only did Bijou seem relieved that she was back on her raw diet, but the other dogs in the kennel soon saw the benefit of moving to a raw diet. Their dogs had more energy, shinier coats, much less poop and they didn’t have that traditional “dog” smell anymore. It didn’t take any further convincing for the Brouwers to start to recommend a raw diet to all new puppy owners.

It really is history from that point on, pre-made raw from Big Country Kennels became a hit and word spread. Soon enough the Brouwers purchased an industrial grinder and started to produce from their garage.

After producing from their rural property for 7 years and employing approximately 50 people, it was time for 天美传媒 to open a larger production facility to support the increasing demand from customers. In 2019, a 28,000 square foot building opened with great support from the community. With record numbers of pets being adopted during the pandemic, growth rates of raw food, which is estimated to be 10-15% of the $4.2+ billion pet food industry in Canada*, also increased. A five-year plan in 2019 for expansion, was accelerated due to demand and, in 2020, a 10,000 square foot addition was added to provide more freezer space and a larger order fulfilment area. Today, 天美传媒 ships to more than 1,400 retailers across Canada.

“Our goal at 天美传媒 is to grow overall share of the raw pet food category – we know when more people are buying a good quality raw, that pets will naturally be healthier. We believe 天美传媒 offers the best value and quality of raw food on the market, and naturally, we’ll get 天美传媒 fair share of the category growth as well. Today, pre-made raw food is more accessible to pet owners than ever, and the numbers support the fact there are still a lot of opportunities in this category.”
