Program

There are no limits on the number of orders per month for your organization.
Each organization will have an admin account and up to two additional accounts.
You may add multiple shipping addresses during your initial application process. If after the initial setup process you would like to add an additional address, you may do so by emailing the address to sheltercustomerservice@purina.nestle.com. Once the address is approved, you will see it under My Account. (Please note: all shipments should go to a manned location only.
