Natural Cornish to support animals in Ukraine

Natural Cornish Pet has announced it has teamed up with The Dog Groomery in order to help animals in need at the Ukrainian border.

It revealed it is sending a van full of supplies to the border on Wednesday 8 March. Dog Groomery have planned to travel in convoy and in conjunction with Dogbus Transporting Paws, Saving Lives and this will be the first of six planned trips by the charity.

The firm urges donations to this fundraiser to aid filing vans and help with the raising of the funds to enable them to get there.

Maddie Peck, in charge of marketing at Natural Cornish Pet, said: “As we know, the Ukrainian people and animals are desperate and in need of help. Families are fleeing to safety with their pets with very few belongings and supplies. The team will leave on Wednesday and meet their convoy at the euro tunnel to drive across Europe.

“They are mainly asking for large bags (12-15kg) of dog/cat feed, which will go directly over the border into shelters. The other vehicles are taking smaller food bags to help families on the move feed and keep safe their beloved pets.”

She added: “We can’t even imagine how scary life is for these people and pets right now and what uncertainties they might be facing. Many of us locally have wondered how we can help; now you can.”
