Peaks Family Pets, made up of people who’ve long called Squamish home, is a family operated pet food and supply store located in Squamish British Columbia. On their web site, they describe themselves as “Squamish’s Original Pet Food Store — Family run and operated.” Oh, and they’ve got cat food, dog food (is it possible anything lasts longer on the shelf?), raw diets, toys and treats and supplies — all made with a local flavor.
They have two brands of cat food, IrRAWsistible and Canadian Naturals. IrRAWsistiable is one of their signature brands which can also be found on its online store, Peaks Family Pets. IrRAWsistible (also spelled “IrRAWsistible”) is a pet food brand offering raw and minimally processed foods, and on their list is a product called “IrRAWastibble Cat Chicken 32 Minis” according to Peaks. IrRAWsistible is less common in both dog and cat food lines but appears to have a slightly more pronounced presence on the Peaks site in the cat food line-up.
The answer to the question is, “What’s in a name?” This is evident at Peaks on the cat food side with another brand called Canadian Naturals. For example, they have Canadian Naturals Whitefish Cat 3 lb on their product list. Canadian naturals cat food is a family owned and operated business that has been producing quality pet food for close to 50 years. They stress regional production, locally sourced ingredients where possible and a West Coast “kitchen” attitude to their recipes. The brand includes grain-free varieties, recipes made with non-GMO ingredients, and they are committed to a philosophy of sourcing. For feline fur parents, Canadian Naturals offers a trustworthy well crafted dry formula to sustain your cat as a daily meal.
At Peaks Family Pets, these brands aren’t just inventory; they embody a philosophy. Peaks is more than a store, it’s a partner in pet care. Their roster indicates that they hand select brands which are up to par with both quality and nutrition. Because they concentrate regionally, perhaps they can be more vigilant about freshness, stock and customer concerns involving diet and transitioning.
So, if you are a cat owner in the Squamish area, here are what practical differences choosing between these brands might entail:
IrRAWsistible provides cat-safe raw or minimally processed products (such as cat-sized patties or minis of chicken) that are more aligned with “raw” dietary trends.
Canadian Naturals provides a good quality dry ‘lid’ (limited ingredient diet) that is appropriate for every day feeding, ideal for those wanting a fixed ‘base’ diet without the handling concerns of frozen raw.
Cons Why not Consider Both: You can also try to combine both — the only thing you wish to find would be Canadian Naturals RAW as your dry food and add in some Paws Greatest Irrawsistible Raw Cat Food for treats or even following-raw-meal snacks if your cat may pile them and should a vet grants. Peaks Family Pets is designed in a way that allows customers to compare options from different brands alongside one another, ask staff members for assistance and place orders online.
