Percuro donates £3000 worth of pet food to rescue charity
The donation also included Percuro insect protein 'Snappies' dog treats which are fed to the hedgehogs as a treat when they are being cleaned out or have undergone a treatment
Percuro Pet Food has donated pet food worth £3000 to Digby’s Hedgehog Rescue, a non-profit, voluntary organisation working towards protecting hedgehogs.
The donation of the “hypoallergenic” dog kibble by Percuro Pet Food is part of the company’s commitment to support small animal charities during the current challenging cost of living crisis.
Percuro said that hedgehog populations are in decline in the UK and across Europe.
According to The State of Britain’s Hedgehogs 2022 report there has been a 30% to 75% decline in the number of hedgehogs throughout the British countryside since 2000 and consequently hedgehogs have been placed on the red list of vulnerable species.
The hedgehogs at Digby’s Hedgehog Rescue are being fed Percuro puppy dog food which has insect protein and is cruelty free.
The donation also included Percuro insect protein ‘Snappies’ dog treats which are fed to the hedgehogs as a treat when they are being cleaned out or have undergone a treatment.
Denise Saber, founder of Percuro Pet Food, said: “We are delighted to support Shannan and her amazing team of volunteers by contributing to the feeding programme of the hedgehogs in their care at Digby’s Hedgehog Rescue.
“As natural consumers of insects, we were confident that hedgehogs would favour our delicious insect protein based dog food. We formulated Percuro to help dogs live better longer, and it’s wonderful that our highly nutritious food facilitates the recovery of the hedgehogs to enable their release back to a natural habitat.”
Shannan Hawker, managing director and founder at Digby’s Hedgehog Rescue, added: “Working with Percuro has totally blown my mind on how generous, friendly, helpful and truly heartwarming a company can care about such an amazing little animal like hedgehogs.”
