Dogit maintains a strong True North score due to its ownership by a major Canadian pet supplies conglomerate. While capital and strategic control are firmly rooted in Canada, its manufacturing and input sourcing align with global industrial standards. This results in high economic retention at the corporate level but lower retention for physical production.
