About Bark & Fitz

Bark & Fitz is a dedicated retailer of fine pet products with locations in Canada from coast-to-coast. As passionate animal lovers, we see cats and dogs as more than just pets; they are family members. We pride ourselves in carrying only the best available pet supplies and food on the market, and in being a top resource for information.
From all natural foods and baked treats to dog gear, Bark & Fitz has scoured the globe for what we believe are the most nutritious, durable, entertaining and stylish products you will find for you and your dog. We have bundled this proven success story into what we believe is the future of specialty dog retail and are offering franchises through master, area and single-unit franchise development across North America.
Bark & Fitz is looking for dedicated and passionate pet lovers with an owner/operator mentality. Applicants should be excited about taking an active role in their new venture and should be comfortable working with an organization where you will be listened to and valued. We reject the all too typical large franchisor mentality where you are "just another store." We are looking for applicants that will thrive in an environment where you have direct and continued communication between franchisee and franchisor and you truly are a member of the Bark & Fitz family.
