Get to Know Our Partners

With the generous support of sponsors, both at the national and local level, funds raised by each walker goes directly towards Dog Guides’ seven programs.

Title Sponsor

Pet Valu and the Pet Valu Family of Stores

Pet Valu has been the national sponsor of the Pet Valu Walk for Dog Guides since 2017. In addition to its financial support for the Walk, each year, Pet Valu franchisees, store operators and Animal Care Experts across Canada play an active role organizing and participating in walks in their local communities. Pet Valu also provides its premium line of Performatrin and Performatrin Ultra dog food and treats to all puppies, breeding dogs and Dog Guides in training and, in 2023, Pet Valu proudly achieved the impressive milestone of sponsoring its 200th Dog Guide team.

Sponsorship Opportunities

As the largest event of its kind in Canada, the Pet Valu Walk for Dog Guides takes place in local communities in each province across the country. Each walk is organized by local Lions Clubs, community volunteers and Dog Guide recipients. The walks are designed to be accessible to all ages and abilities and everyone, with or without a dog, is welcome to attend. Every year, new communities join to host their first walks and seasoned walks grow in participation and funds raised.
