Love and knowledge just moved to Umhlanga – Canine & Co opens in Granada Square
Because at the end of the day, what Canine & Co really sells isn’t pet food - It’s more years with your best friend. And better ones.
There’s a moment that happens in every Canine & Co store. A customer walks in expecting the usual pet shop experience – grab a bag, pay, leave. Instead, someone asks about their pet. Not a sales pitch. A genuine conversation. What breed? How old? Any tummy issues? Fussy eater? And suddenly they’re deep into a discussion about gut health and protein sources – and nobody’s tried to sell them anything yet.
Not your average pet store
Canine & Co is a holistic pet nutrition store, staffed by people who are genuinely passionate about what animals eat. The team understands ingredients, processing methods, species-appropriate nutrition, and the difference between marketing claims and actual science. Their founding philosophy? Love and Knowledge for your pet’s best life.
The food you choose is probably the single biggest factor in how long and how well your pet lives. It’s what goes into the bowl every day that shapes their energy, coat, joints, gut and immune system. Canine & Co exists to translate the overwhelming world of pet nutrition into clear, honest guidance – no judgement, no pressure to spend more than you need to.
A different shelf tells a different story
Walk into the Granada Square store, in Chartwell Drive, Umhlanga, and everything on the shelf has earned its place. The team organises food by nutritional philosophy – natural and holistic, ancestral diets, grain-free alternatives, fresh and raw, and proudly South African brands.
Some of the natural foods you’ll find in-store:
ORIJEN One of our favourite premium foods at C&Co, you can’t do better than ORIJEN. It delivers biologically appropriate nutrition packed with up to 90% fresh, raw and dehydrated animal ingredients for exceptional health and vitality.
ACANA A trusted favourite we often recommend, ACANA combines quality animal proteins with wholesome grains, fruit, vegetables and botanicals to support everything from digestion to weight management.
Taste of the Wild A popular choice for picky eaters and adventurous pets, Taste of the Wild offers grain-free, ancestral-inspired recipes with unique proteins like venison, bison and smoked salmon.
Diamond Naturals One of our best-value recommendations at C&Co, Diamond Naturals pairs quality meat-first nutrition with wholesome grains and superfoods for balanced everyday feeding at an accessible price point.
The people make the difference
Ask any Canine & Co regular what keeps them coming back and the answer is always the same: the staff. They remember your dog’s name, ask how the food switch went, and will tell you honestly if a cheaper option works just as well. The Granada store brings that same calibre of people to Umhlanga – just walk in and have the conversation.
Because at the end of the day, what Canine & Co really sells isn’t pet food – It’s more years with your best friend. And better ones.
