The Pet Industry Federation (PIF) is calling on the pet trade to renew donations of crucial pet supplies to the abandoned pets in Ukraine as part of the ‘Save the Pets of Ukraine’ project.
UK pet businesses are being asked if they can donate items such as pet food and treats, flea and tick treatments or health and hygiene products. PIF will co-ordinate donations and arrange for a consignment to make its way to Ukraine.
PIF chief executive Nigel Baker said: ‘The Ukraine war is far from over and many abandoned pets still live in shelters which rely on food and product donations to support the pets residing there.
“Pet businesses have dug deep in recent months and we hope we can rely on them once again to help the countless pets in Ukraine, deeply affected by the conflict, to have a fighting chance.”
Anyone interested in donating product should contact [email protected] with the details of the items, including the weight. Donated goods need to be supplied on pallets, although products can be mixed on the pallet.
