PawSwap Presents, 12 Days of Dog: Advent Calendars

We are now sold out! Join our waitlist to be added to our list to be notified first for our next activity or initiative like this one so you don’t need to miss out, or join a waitlist, next time around! With that being said, we have added the option to donate money to Charlie’s pet food bank by BC SPCA so you can still help us give back to pups in need on the Downtown Eastside this winter.

As the sky darkens earlier and earlier, the wind becomes crisper and people are encouraged to stay home to keep safe, a glimmer of excitement for the holiday season approaches... Even though we cannot come together to celebrate the Christmas cheer, we want you and your furry best friend to have something to look forward to, like a kid on Christmas morning! What better way to thank your pup for being the best snuggle partner this winter and holiday season than with 12 surprise gifts from a round up of PawSwap’s favourite local products/businesses! Snuggle up next to your fireplace with a hot cocoa for our 12 Days of Dog: Advent Calendars, but no sniffing until Christmas!

With COVID putting a strain on so many local businesses, we understand the importance of supporting local especially this Holiday season! Beginning on December 14th, reveal our first of 12 local businesses, for your first mini product in this mystery Christmas box of goodies, with surprise presents until Christmas Day! A QR code on the top of your box will reveal and highlight each product and company on their day of the Advent, so you know where to find them and how to support them for any further Christmas shopping and spoiling for your pup!

Not only is it important to support Local, but to support and help out pups in need this holiday season. The PawSwap Team will personally be handing out dog blankets and dog beds to our four-legged friends on the Downtown Eastside. Any additional beds and blankets not handed out will be donated to Charlie’s pet food bank by BCSPCA whose mission is to improve the lives of pets living in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside with a group of dedicated BC SPCA volunteers that allows them to help more animals and maintain a presence in the community.

Help us give back by donating $3 for a Spot Dog Blanket (valued at $13) and/or $6 for an Unleashed Dog Bed (valued at $28) thanks to our partnership with Anipet Animal Supplies who has provided and partially donating these products. Anipet Animal Supplies is the largest pet product distributor in Western Canada located locally in Surrey, BC!
