About Us
It all started with a puppy named Shay…
Shay’s Way was founded in 2020 to solve a common problem faced by pet owners: getting picky eaters to enjoy their food while ensuring they receive the nutrients they need. Our story began with Shay, our family puppy, who constantly refused to eat. We tried everything, but nothing worked—until one day, we offered her some salmon. To our surprise, she devoured it and finally finished her meal, getting the healthy fats she needed.
This breakthrough led to the creation of Shay’s Way. We wanted to share our solution with other pet parents facing the same challenge. Our products are made from simple, natural ingredients like salmon, designed to make mealtime enjoyable for picky pets while ensuring they get the essential nutrients, especially healthy fats, for a balanced diet.
At Shay’s Way, we’re not just feeding pets—we’re providing peace of mind to pet owners. If you’re dealing with a picky eater at home, let us help make mealtime easier, healthier, and more enjoyable.
Join the growing community of pet parents who trust Shay’s Way for happy, healthy mealtimes!
About Our Products
At Shay’s Way, we use sustainably sourced, fresh raw fish—free of entrails—straight from the West Coast of Canada. Once received at our CFIA (Canada Food Inspection Agency) registered facility, the fish is processed into a variety of products, including our signature Shay’s Way pet meal toppers. These are portioned, frozen, and prepared for the next stage of processing.
The portions are thawed, hand-filled into pouches, and then small-batch processed using pressure cooking (Retort), ensuring the product is fully cooked and free from any pathogens that may be present in raw ingredients. Our single-species products allow customers to know exactly which variety of fish—such as salmon—they are feeding their pets, unlike many freeze-dried products that mix species and extrude them into shapes.
We prioritize high-fat fish species to deliver the maximum benefits of fish oils, with our products containing 15% to 20% oil content, compared to the much lower fat levels found in sockeye (6%) or pink salmon (3%). All our raw materials come from CFIA and FDA-registered seafood facilities, ensuring the highest standards of quality and safety in Shay’s Way products.
