Donate to our pet food banks

We’re running Blue Cross pet food banks to help make sure no pet has to go hungry and to keep them where they belong – with their loving families.

You can help keep these pets fed and in happy homes. Donate today.

If you have any pet food you can spare, or you wouldn’t mind adding an extra can or bag when you do your weekly shop, please bring it to your participating Blue Cross charity shop, rehoming centre or animal hospital. Other items like bedding, treats or even collars and leads are also very gratefully received.

We’ve partnered with Pets at Home to place pet food donation stations in every store. All donations collected by your local Pets at Home store go to food banks in your local community.

If you're struggling to afford to feed your pet, find out how to get help from our pet food banks.

The pet food bank has helped tremendously. I’ve had days before where I’ve had nothing to eat for a couple of days but still had food for the dog. I’d probably have to do without food myself, just so I could get her some food.

Donate to a pet food bank

Your donation will help us continue to run these urgently needed pet food banks and transform the lives of vulnerable pets across the UK. Money raised by this appeal will go directly to supporting our pet food banks and in the unlikely event we exceed the required funds for this appeal, we will allocate the funds to other projects to further the work of Blue Cross.

When I became ill, in and out of hospital and I had to give up work, the food bank for the cats helped so much.
