We supply pet food to people and pets in need. With the aim of breaking the poverty cycle of people sharing their human food with their pets, causing the owners to suffer from malnutrition. Reducing the impact of poverty. The relief of mental anguish of being unable to afford to feed their pet or worse having to give up their furry family members to a shelter. Sadly, we are seeing more and more people in work unable to afford to feed their pets.

“Thank you for the dog food. We worry when we can’t afford food for our boy, he’s part of our family”

We are based in Barry Vale of Glamorgan, where we collect and sort pet food which we then deliver to our 43 outlets across South Wales.
We also run a community pop up shop to help the local community with anything from pet items to household items all priced cheaper than most charity shops. The funds raised go towards our rent costs.
