NSW & ACT organisations receive 53 pallets of pet food donations just in time for Pet Dental Month!

Plenty of dogs were barking with excitement and the cats were feline fabulous across NSW and ACT thanks to the generous food donations by our awesome partner Mars Petcare!

38 pet-obsessed community support organisations and PetRescue members got their share of a whopping 53 pallets of donated pet food. Worth around $265,000 and weighing roughly 91,000 kg - that's the equivalent of over 480 elephants! There was plenty of delicious food to fill empty bowls and keep tails wagging.  

A large portion of the donations included GREENIES dental treats. These treats were delivered to the lucky pets ahead of Pet Dental Month, which is officially recognised in August (even though every month should be pet dental health month!).

• Porsche's Rescue
