Why Canada, and Why Now?
Canada is home to a large and passionate community of pet parents. According to the Canadian Animal Health Institute’s 2022 Pet Population Survey, about 60 percent of Canadian households have at least one dog or cat.
Those pet parents want the same thing as pet parents everywhere. They want care they can trust, from professionals they can find easily. PetWorks was built to make that connection simple.
Industry leaders see the same bond. Greg Ramier, CEO of Pet Valu, Canada’s leading pet food and supply retailer, said in a July 2026 release: “Pets are a treasured part of Canadians’ lives.”
Tariffs and Pet Care Services: What Pet Parents Should Know
Trade between the U.S. and Canada has been in the news. In August 2026, the U.S. government under President Donald Trump imposed 50 percent tariffs on about $27.6 billion of Canadian goods. Canada responded with counter-tariffs of 15, 25, and 50 percent on U.S. goods, effective September 8, 2026. The Government of Canada’s published product list shows the measures focus on sectors such as steel and aluminum, dairy, appliances, agricultural equipment, pulp and paper, plastics, and electronics.
These tariffs apply to imported goods. PetWorks connects pet parents with pet care professionals for services. Our focus stays on making that connection simple, no matter where the pet parent or professional is located.
“Trade policy will keep changing, but pet parents still need pet care providers they can trust, and professionals still need to be found. Canada is a natural next step for us, and we are here for the long run.” – Kevin Kinyon, President, PetWorks
Trade rules can change quickly. PetWorks will keep pet parents and professionals updated on anything that affects using the platform in Canada.
Same Mission, New Country
The heart of PetWorks is simple. Pet parents deserve access to care they can trust. Professionals deserve a platform that helps their work get seen.
Those goals do not change at the border. Whether you are a pet parent looking for help or a professional building your business, PetWorks is here for you across the U.S. and Canada.
