If you are looking
for pet food assistance, please email [email protected] to discuss your needs. Please be sure to include all demographic information about your pet(s), and any health conditions that would impact the food that they need. Food Donations
We are currently accepting donations of:
• Dry or wet dog food
• Dry or wet cat food
• Dog and cat treats
We accept both unopened and opened bags of food. However, in order for us to use opened food, it must be in its original packaging and well sealed without major tears or repairs. As always, the expiry date must be visible. Check out our drop off locations here: http://ottawapawpantry.ca/give-back/drop-off-locations/
