Due to an increase in demand for pet food, the Veterinary Teaching Hospital is temporarily suspending the online pet food sales platform available to UPEI employees and students.  We will continue to sell food in-person at the Veterinary Teaching Hospital but are currently limiting sales to one bag or case of each kind of food per household while we work at increasing our stock and ensuring we can continue to meet everyone's pet food needs.
