We Need Pet Food

All of the pet food we distribute is donated.

Each month we distribute about 100,000 pounds of food to pet-families in need. We could not do this without community support. Learn about how you can contribute pet food to support our mission!

Donation Needs

Here are our top three needs. We will update our priority list as needs change, donations shifts and our inventory depletes.

#1 – Adult Dog Kibble

Each month we distribute 100,000 pounds of pet food, the majority of which is adult dry dog kibble. The need for this type of food is high – this food makes the largest impact to our organization.

#2 – Adult Cat Kibble

We may see a lot of dogs at our pantries, but we served over 55,000 CATS in the past 12 months with food. That’s 44% of our client pets! The biggest help in feeding all these felines is adult cat kibble.

#3 – Canned Dog Food

Canned dog food is a regularly sought-after commodity at our pet food pantries. Many of the pets we see are elderly and can use this type of soft food to thrive.

Donation Policies:
What We Take

100% of the pet food we distribute is generously donated by individuals, businesses, and pet food brands.

  • Pet Food – YES PLEASE! From kibble to canned, puppy to senior, we’ll take it all. Our biggest need is adult dry dog kibble.
  • Open Bag – Not a problem. Be sure to seal any open spots or rips in the bag securely with duct tape so it does not spill during transport to our warehouse.
  • Not in Original Packaging – We’ll still take it! Please put in large ziplock or trash bag. Tape information on the outside of the bag stating the brand and type of food that’s inside.
  • Frozen or Refrigerated Food – For these special circumstances, please reach out to info@coloradopetpantry.org. Depending on your location we can arrange for this to quickly get to our warehouse or we will redirect it to one of our Animal Welfare Share Organizations (primarily pet rescues) to receive this pet food.
  • Short-dated Pet Food – It is our policy to accept pet food that has exceeded its best-by date. To learn more about the specifics of this scenario, please email info@coloradopetpantry.org.
  • Large Donation – If you have a truckload or a car-load of pet food, we prefer to work directly with you, rather than have you drop it off at one of our donation drop-off partners. Please reach out to info@coloradopetpantry.org to coordinate the donation of this amazing gift.
  • Non-Food Items – If it’s pet related, we will accept it and put it to use. We often bring beds, toys and other pet supplies to our open-to-the-public pet food pantries. We build Pet Comfort Kits for our partnership with the American Red Cross, or we redirect the supplies to other nonprofits through our Animal Welfare Share Program.
  • Need a Donation Receipt – If you donate pet food to our organization, we will issue you a receipt. Please fill out this form, and we will issue you an official receipt right away.

Host A Pet Food Drive

As the need for pet food continues to grow across the state, the more we rely on our community for support. Hosting a pet food drive for your business, housing complex, school or other organizations is a tremendous way to support our cause. If you plan to host a pet food drive, please reach out to us via email at info@coloradopetpantry.org so we can help you coordinate this incredible gift.
