Elmira Pet Products Ltd. is a manufacturer of pet foods in Elmira, Ontario, Canada.

In 1979 it expanded into the manufacture of pet foods and rebranded as Martin Pet Foods. Following a succession of sales to Heinz and Del Monte, in 2005 employees Bryan Cook and Ken Morley, purchased the plant and created Elmira Pet Products Ltd.
