Donate to our pet food banks

Your donation will help keep pets and their people together when they need it most.

Blue Cross believes that no pet should go hungry and no owner should face the decision to give up their pet because they can’t afford to feed them. 

We stock a range of pet food at several of our sites, and through partnered food organisations. 
 

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.

What to donate

Do you have any spare pet food? Can you find room in your weekly pet food shop for an extra can or pouch? Even a small contribution could make a big difference to a pet and their owner.

  • Dog pet food – Dried biscuits, canned food, puppy food
  • Cat pet food – Kibble, wet cat food, kitten food
  • Small animal food – Dried food for rabbits, guinea pigs, mice and rats
