Meet the Team
Global Pet Foods Riverbend is owned and operated by us! Sam and Drew. Both originally from London, we met in Barrie, Ontario while working at…you guessed it – Global Pet Foods!
What started as friends joking about one day having a store of our own, turned into business partners moving back home and opening a brand new location in the north-west corner of London.
Along with a natural love for animals, we both share an entrepreneurial spirit and are completely hands-on with the day-to-day operation of the store. Building relationships with our customers and getting to know their pets first-hand is such an important part of our business. It gives us an opportunity to apply our knowledge to each pet’s needs and help build a solution together with the pet parent. Whether it be nutrition related, or simply finding a great toy, we’re here to help you every step of the way.

Meet Cali
Cali is Drew’s Labraoodle. She loves long walks in the neighbourhood, going to Granny’s house and her stuffed LambChop. She’s not a fan of having her toe nails trimmed, but she’ll do it for the treats.
Meet Emma
Emma is Sam’s rescue mix. She’s enjoying her senior years with laser therapy treatments, short walks and bed time snacks…10:30 p.m. sharp! She’s afraid of plastic bags, and hasn’t quite gotten used to the mailman.
