Pet food banks

We're looking to build a network of pet food banks across the UK to support pet owners. We’ll do this by supporting volunteers to source pet food and sharing it with organisations who already support vulnerable people and their pets.

And we can’t wait. Covid-19 and the cost of living crisis has already started to have an impact on people's lives. Some pet owners we hear from are forced to choose between their own food and the food of their beloved pets.

How can I donate pet food?

To help us provide pet food to pet owners who need it, we will accept and food donations at:

Sheffield rehoming, advice and behaviour unit

Our Sheffield rehoming, advice and behaviour unit in South Yorkshire has a pet food donation point located outside the entrance.
