Does Amoré Pet Foods Offer Low-Phosphorus Products or Ship to the US?

Updated

Amoré Pet Foods addresses both questions through its "Ask Barbara/FAQs" section, but the available page evidence only shows that these questions exist — it does not include the answers. What the site does confirm: all food and treats for dogs and cats are made in-house at the Burnaby, B.C. store, and the company describes itself as a local Vancouver business. If low phosphorus content or US shipping is a deciding factor for you, treat these as open questions to verify directly before ordering.

Low-Phosphorus Options for Pets with Elevated Kidney Values

The FAQ list includes the question "Elevated kidney values – any low phosphorus products?" — submitted by a customer named Lori with three pets. This tells you the store fields this type of question, but the excerpt does not reveal the response.

What can be checked from the product listings:

  • The site sells air-dried and frozen food under the MEGA morsels and MEGA Squares lines, for both dogs and cats.
  • Air drying removes only water, which concentrates the nutrients of the original ingredients — including minerals like phosphorus. Concentration is a general property of the drying method, not a statement about any specific product's phosphorus level.
  • No phosphorus values, guaranteed analyses, or low-phosphorus labels appear in the page evidence.

If your pet has elevated kidney values, ask Amoré directly through the Ask Barbara/FAQs channel and request the phosphorus content (typically expressed as a percentage on a dry matter basis) for the specific formula you are considering. Compare that number against whatever target your veterinarian has given you — this is a medical decision, not a marketing one.

Does Amoré Pet Foods Ship to the US?

The FAQ list also includes "Do you ship to the US?" — asked by a customer identified as MS. Again, the answer is not included in the available page evidence, so US shipping cannot be confirmed or ruled out from this material.

What the site does describe about getting products:

  • Shop online and schedule a pickup.
  • Or shop in store, where you can also browse collars, leashes, dog beds, dishes, and toys, plus a free tasting bar.

Both described fulfillment paths are local (Burnaby, B.C., about 10 minutes from downtown Vancouver). The presence of a "Do you ship to the US?" FAQ suggests cross-border customers have asked, but whether the store ships, and under what terms, needs to be confirmed with the store directly.

"Made in," "Product of," or "Packaged in Canada" — Why the Distinction Matters

The FAQ list includes a question from Maria: "Made in, Product of or Packaged in Canada?" These three labels are not interchangeable:

Label What it generally means
Made in Canada The product was manufactured in Canada; ingredients may be imported
Product of Canada The vast majority of ingredients and processing are Canadian
Packaged in Canada Only the packaging step happened in Canada

For Amoré specifically, the page states that 100% of its food and treats for dogs and cats are made in its Burnaby, B.C. store, and the site highlights "locally sourced, human-grade, 100% natural" ingredients. That is a stronger claim than "packaged in Canada," but the excerpt does not break down sourcing by individual ingredient, so if origin matters to you for a specific formula, ask about that formula.

How to Get Answers to These Questions

The site's Ask Barbara/FAQs section is the stated channel for customer questions, and the three questions above show it covers exactly this territory — kidney/phosphorus concerns, Canadian labeling, and US shipping. To use it:

  1. Go to the Ask Barbara/FAQs section of amorepetfoods.com.
  2. Submit your question with the specific product name (for example, a MEGA morsels formula for cats or dogs) so the answer applies to what you would actually buy.
  3. For phosphorus, ask for the value on a dry matter basis so you can compare it consistently across foods.
  4. For shipping, ask whether US delivery is available, and confirm cost and timing if it is.

Quick Reference

  • Low-phosphorus products: The question is listed on the site, but no answer or phosphorus data appears in the available evidence. Ask directly and compare against your vet's target.
  • US shipping: Also listed as a FAQ, with no answer shown. The only fulfillment methods described are online order with pickup and in-store shopping in Burnaby, B.C.
  • Origin: The store says all dog and cat food and treats are made in its Burnaby store, using locally sourced, human-grade ingredients.
  • Prices: Product listings show ranges (for example, $24.99–$575.49 for MEGA morsels Chicken for dogs, and $27.99–$150.49 for MEGA morsels Beef for cats), which typically reflect different bag sizes.
