      Yamas pet products Inc. is a distributor of food, accessories and related products for small animals. The company distributes to pet shops, veterinary clinics, breeders and grooming salons. The current owners, Carl and David Trottier, are the third generation to run the business. In the 1970s, the company, then run by Michel Trottier, was a feed mill in Victoriaville, specializing in processing grain to feed chickens, cows and horses. In 1989, the company changed its vocation to become a distributor in its current form. It moved to Saint-Hyacinthe in 2015, expanding from 1,000 to over 120,000 square feet. Today, Yamas has 70 employees in Quebec, the Maritimes and Ontario. <\/p>\n\t<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
