Bountiful Bowls Pet Food Assistance

How to Apply

Because funds are limited, the program should supplement your monthly supply of pet food and not be the sole source of food for pets. You should expect to purchase food for your pets in addition to receiving the program food to meet their full nutritional needs. Online approval is sent via email, please use a valid email and when applying for assistance.
