 Pet owners have helped to donate more than £30,000 to The Blue Cross pet charity by activating their £2 donation found on specially stickered packs of Hill’s Science Plan dog and cat food.
-
This donation will make a real difference to The Blue Cross; it is enough to provide either 4,338 life saving drips for sick pets, 2,169 vaccinations to help prevent life-threatening diseases, or even fund a community vet nurse for a whole year!
-
Vanessa Rossiter, Corporate Development Manager at The Blue Cross said: "A huge thank you from all of us at The Blue Cross to Hill's Pet Nutrition and to everyone who activated the on-pack codes - what a fantastic result! The money raised will help us care for the hundreds of pets in our adoption centres awaiting loving new homes, as well as the thousands of poorly pets who use our veterinary services every year."
-
The Blue Cross rehomes over 6,000 pets each year and since 2005 Hill’s has lent invaluable support by donating enough food to feed all the cats and dogs in their adoption centres. Marketing Manager, Robert Gundry said: “Hill’s would like to say a huge thank you to everyone who kindly activated the on-pack donation and for being part of this great campaign.”
