Pet Community Support
This is our community. And so we ask a lot - of our customers and ourselves. Whether it’s fostering needy pets, fundraising for good causes, or stepping up when the worst happens, we are all here for our shared pet community.
20/20 Coupon Program
We love win/wins. And the 20/20 is just that. Our 315+ nonprofit partners hand out this special coupon to pet parents that adopt, license their pet, or get their pet spayed/neutered. The pet parents receive 20% off their purchase, and Pet Food Express donates $20 back to the organization. In 2023, we donated $310,200 back to our partners through this program alone!
