Food Banks
We want to ensure that people and pets can remain together, even in the face of a crisis.
Our Pet Pantry program exists to support pet owners who are in emergency need of pet food and basic supplies due to a personal crisis or financial limitations. Please note that the program is not intended to be a permanent, ongoing solution for feeding pets for the long term.
How to Access Food and Supplies
We now offer DROP-IN pet pantry programs at two locations:
Kitchener Waterloo Animal Centre - 250 Riverbend Dr, Kitchener
10 am - 1pm every Tuesday
*Summer months - please head to the back of the parking lot to the Pet Pantry Trailer
*Winter months - please come into the front reception and you'll see signage for the pet pantry in our education room
Stratford Perth Animal Centre - 125 Griffith Rd, Stratford
10 am - 1pm every Friday
*Please enter through the SPAY NEUTER CLINIC reception
Items we offer
We support pet owners with items including:
- cat food (dry and wet)
- dog food (dry and wet)
- small animal food
- cat litter
-small animal bedding
- treats
NOTE: availability of products depends on our volume of stock. We try to accommodate brand requests but we may not have your specific brand at the moment. We may run out of certain items depending on demand, but work hard to keep stock available. If you are looking for any other supplies, please ask and we can let you know if we have anything available. We do not keep a stock or hand out veterinary diets, as this is prescription based.
amount we offer
We ask that you try to access the program once per month. We will give you a one month supply roughly. Of course if you have an emergency need before that time, please drop in.
