Maintaining your pet’s oral health on the daily just got easier. Aimé Kitchen® offers complete and balanced formulas with a proprietary recipe delivering “science-based” oral health support for pets with every bite! Our pet food is made with fresh meat, locally sourced ingredients and a formula created by a PhD nutritionist to give pets a palatable, natural food that helps to remove the bacteria in the oral cavity and digestive tract contributing to poor oral health and bad breath. Why not contribute to a pet’s oral health with every meal?
Poor oral health, gingivitis, tooth decay and gum disease are all bacterial issues. The same bacterial acids that destroy tooth enamel can initiate an infection of the gum tissue and bone surrounding the teeth. When the bacterial plaque from the teeth isn’t removed, it hardens into tartar. Though bacterial plaque causes gum disease, tartar buildup gives bacterial plaque a place to thrive.
Our PhD Animal Nutritionist, Dr. Gary, created a formula with a 3-pronged focus attacking the bacterial root causes of poor oral health. When our negatively charged zeolites hit the oral cavity, they are catalyzed by our proprietary formula to be instantly released into the system. As the zeolites travel through the oral cavity and digestive tract, they attract and capture the positively charged bacteria and toxins. Then we replace the bacteria with multiple probiotics and prebiotics that are native to the digestive tracts of dogs & cats. We also deliver a powerful anti-inflammatory knock out with our combination of eggshell membrane and astaxanthin. Finally, our formula supports saliva production, a key bodily function that helps to protect tooth enamel and prevent tooth decay and gum disease.
The net result is a formula that focuses on the root causes of poor oral health and not just the symptoms!

As a Canadian company, we proudly use home-grown ingredients. Our country flourishes on agriculture, and our wide landscape boasts of over 200,000 farms — from large-scale plantations in the prairies to ethical, family-run plots. From this vast selection, we source human-grade ingredients, such as the cage-free chicken, ethically sourced salmon, green peas, pumpkin, butternut squash, apple, blueberry, zucchini and the proprietary egg-shell membrane used in our recipes. Wherever we make our pet food products, Canada, USA (freeze-dried) or Thailand (wet), we use domestically sourced ingredients for quality purposes and efficient traceability.
Aimé Kitchen is a Canadian brand and we endeavour to bring our Oral Health formula’s to dogs and cats around the world in multiple pet food formats. Our dog kibbles and air-dried cat food are proudly made in Canada, in Ontario and British Columbia, respectively. Our freeze-dried dog and cat foods are made in the USA and our wet food line-up is made in Thailand.
We make our Aimé Kitchen freeze-dried foods at a US facility with 20 years’ experience in the pet industry. The USA has long been at the forefront of quality freeze-dried foods and since there are no Canadian facilities currently making freeze-dried pet food, we look south to our American partners. Our formulas, across our formats, are all created by our Dr. Gary.
Thailand produces high quality human grade canned fish products and canned cat food and we want to offer only the best to our furry friends. Thailand is a world leader in producing foods for people (and in our case, pets) around the globe, particularly fish-based foods. We choose to make our food in Thailand because of their close partnerships with Canadian food companies and their ability to meet our stringent manufacturing standards. Furthermore, we strive to be a sustainable business partner by working to protect both the earth’s resources and the living beings that inhabit it. By being diligent with best business practices and maintaining the global standard certifications we hold, we manage each step in our supply chain with ethical and sustainable practices. Our Thai partners are fully involved with both the SDG and the SeaChange sustainability program – focusing on sustainable fishing practices and the eradication of modern slavery and human trafficking in supply chains.
