What is Wag It Forward?
Wag It Forward is an annual nonprofit event hosted by Pet Food Warehouse to benefit local animal rescue groups and other animal related nonprofit groups. Every fall, thousands of pet-loving humans, hundreds of dogs, dozens of nonprofit groups, and pet vendors of all types, join us at the Champlain Valley Exposition in Essex Junction, Vermont for a day of pet-centered activities and fun.
Dog dock diving, police canine demos, the annual Chase Away 5K, live music, photo booths, local food and beverages, costume contests (for humans and pets!), bouncy houses, parades, tie dyeing, and scavenger hunts are just a few of the fun times that have been had at festivals past!

WIF FundPart of our mission at PFW is to support animal welfare organizations in their work to better the lives of animals and place them in forever homes. One of the key ways we meet this is via the Wag It Forward (or WIF) event held every fall. This event is made possible by funds raised through customer donations, proceeds from WIF products, and sponsorships from generous vendors and community partners.
Thanks to our generous customers, in 2020, PFW collected almost $7,000 to fund the event, and as a result, we were able to add that to our proceeds at the event and donate $15,936 to the 24 participating humane societies and rescues! Wag It Forward is truly a community event. Funded by, staffed by, attended by, and benefiting the people who care for pets as much as Pet Food Warehouse! If you have any questions about the WIF Fund, please email wecare@pfwvt.com. If you are interested in making a donation, you can do so in-store. Just ask an associate! |
