Pet food bank donations
No one should have to choose between feeding themselves and feeding their pet. We collect food and other pet items for Blue Cross pet food banks at our shop and distribute it through our food bank partners. If you need help with feeding your pet, find where you can get food from below. Each and every donation we receive goes to support pets and their families in the local area and helps keep pets in their loving homes.
We accept donations for our pet food bank here at any time during our opening hours. Please let a member of our team know when you arrive and your items will be gratefully received. You can also support us by donating funds to our pet food bank appeal.
The pets helped by our pet food banks are:
- cats
- chinchillas
- degus

How to collect pet food
We’ve partnered with the food banks below so they can give out the pet food, bedding and other items we are donated.

Please note you may need a referral from a frontline professional, Citizens Advice, or a voucher to use our partners’ food banks. Blue Cross is unable to provide a referral.
Black Country Foodbank may not have your pet’s usual food brand or type in stock when you need our help. We’ve put together some useful tips on feeding your pet in a crisis situation to help you manage this.
