Service and Product Providers

New Trix Advanced Pet Products

NewTrix generously supports our program by supplying their specially designed dog halters at significantly discounted prices. These halters are crafted to gently discourage young dogs from pulling, offering calm and kind control. This approach not only aids in effective training but also ensures the comfort and well-being of the dogs as they learn. NewTrix's contribution is invaluable in fostering a positive training environment for our young canine partners.

Open Farm

Open Farm, an Ontario-based company specializing in sustainable, grain-free pet food, kindly donates to two of our special-diet puppies in training. Their commitment to quality, locally grown ingredients ensures our puppies receive the best nutrition, crucial for their development. This support is invaluable, particularly for puppies with specific dietary needs, and aligns perfectly with our mission to provide optimal care for our service dogs throughout their training journey.

Pet Smart has generously offered substantial financial support and product discounts, playing a pivotal role in our operations. Their contributions greatly assist in the care and training of our dogs, while also helping to manage costs effectively.

This support is crucial, ensuring our dogs' health and aiding in our fundraising efforts, essential for the success of our programs.
