Fairfield, CT - Pet Pantry Warehouse is thrilled to announce the return of its beloved signature event, Fairfield Dog Days on Sunday, June 22, on the Old Town Hall Green. This lively outdoor festival brings together dog lovers, local businesses, and animal advocates to celebrate community, raise funds for local non-profit shelters, and pamper our four-legged best friends.
"We are so happy and grateful to be picked as a charity for Dog Days," said Christine Amato, Executive Director for Adopt-A-Dog Inc. She continued, "It's a wonderful event for the community with activities for kids and adults, and allows Adopt-A-Dog to show off some of our adorable adoptables! We look forward to having positive and fun days and hope to recruit some new foster families as well".
Vendor Applications Open. This event supports Adopt-A-Dog and other local nonprofit organizations dedicated to animal rescue and adoption.

"The Fairfield event draws over 1,500 people, and although its theme is dogs, attendees are also interested in looking at, or purchasing, other kinds of products as well," said Beverly Balaz, President of the Fairfield Chamber of Commerce. She continued, "This is one of Fairfield’s bigger community events! Vendor tent spots are limited, so we encourage vendors to register early!”

About Pet Pantry Warehouse
Pet Pantry Warehouse is a community-based, family-owned, and operated pet supplies retailer. Products are carefully sourced to ensure quality and value. The history of the Pet Pantry began in 1945 with World War II Army Air Forces servicemen, Mort Davis, and Jac Cohen. The pair formed their alliance over a British puppy adopted by Davis while stationed in wartime England. After accomplishing a stateside transfer for the lucky pup, the two remained friends, joining forces in the pet food business. Davis passed away in the late ‘60s, but Cohen soldiered on with their enterprise through 1995, when the business was purchased by Barry Jacobson and his sons, Adam and Ari, who run the business today.
When the business was re-conceived in 1995, the large warehouse space, which was home to the original Pet Pantry, was converted into a more modern shopping experience, and a new business model was born. The success of the reformatted business paved the way for additional locations. Today, these locations include Rye, Larchmont, and Scarsdale in Westchester County (New York) and New Canaan, Wilton, Riverside, and Fairfield in Fairfield County (Connecticut).
Six out of the seven locations (Scarsdale, Rye, Riverside, Wilton, New Canaan, and Fairfield) have self-serve dog washrooms and host “Clean Your Paws for a Cause” fundraisers with local entities. Pet Pantry also feeds local K-9 Units free of charge in Fairfield and Westchester County and sponsors New Canaan Dog Days, Fairfield Dog Days, Puttin' on the Dog, Fairfield Harvest Market & Pet Parade, and Greenwich Howl & Prowl.
