To keep our Golden PAWS dogs healthy, we use special dog food and treats. If you wish to help keep our dog bowls and treat bags full at the training center and for our recipients that cannot afford it, please consider making a one-time cash gift or you can set up a monthly recurring gift.
- Our specially formulated dog food costs around $53.00 a bag and on average we purchase 35 bags of dog food a month. You can sponsor as many bags as you wish – our dogs will enjoy it all!
- To advance the training of the cadets, our staff and volunteer handlers use a variety of treats. Some dogs need more than others but on average we purchase 63 bags of treats a month. These specially formulated treats cost a little over $10.00 a bag.
- Like humans, occasionally we have a cadet with a sensitive stomach that requires a special diet. It’s usually for a brief period and our “go-to” canned food costs $17.00 per case.
