Cardiff Dogs Home has struck a new dog food sponsorship deal with Burns Pet Food. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

As well as providing enough food for the animals housed at Cardiff Dogs Home the deal also means that everybody who gives a dog a home will receive a free 2kg bag of premium quality dog food. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

Cabinet Member for Environment, Cllr Bob Derbyshire, said: “Cardiff Dogs Home can house up to 44 dogs at any one time and keeping them well fed costs a lot of money. Last year we spent around £5,000 feeding the stray and homeless dogs it looks after. Thanks to the Friends of the Dogs Home and Burns this new deal for dog food will allow us to make important financial savings whilst ensuring that the dogs receive the healthy, balanced diet they need.” ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

Mike Stephens of Burns Pet Nutrition, said: “We are proud to support the Cardiff Dogs Home by providing natural and healthy food for dogs that need it most. High standards of animal welfare are of the utmost importance to us and we are thrilled to have the opportunity to give something back.” ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

If you think you could give one of the dogs currently at Cardiff Dogs Home a place to call home please call 029 2071 1243. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​
