To be recognized as a leader in environmental education\, stewardship of natural resources\, and service to the community.\n\n\n\nAbout Pet Pantry Warehouse\nPet 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.\n\nWhen 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).\n\nSix 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 Howl & Prowl.
