Charitable Giving

At Purina, our philosophy is to develop long-term relationships with key charity partners to create programs that bring real and tangible benefit to the pet care community. Purina in the UK and Ireland has established strategic relationships with selected animal welfare organisations that share our commitment to pets and the people who love them. Purina supports the work of these outstanding organisations through joint partnerships, ongoing programs, national promotions, special projects and local community events.

Purina's strategic partners include Cats Protection, Canine Partners and the Dublin SPCA. For further information about our involvement with these, and other, organisations, please visit Community Partnerships.

Each year, we receive many requests for charitable donations from individuals and organisations. To help with your enquiries, we have provided a selection of answers to the most frequently asked questions below. If you do not find your particular question answered, please contact the Purina PetCare Team on 0800 212 161 in the UK or 1800 509 368 in the Republic of Ireland, 8am to 6pm Monday to Friday, or Contact Us online.

As a guide, however, it is not our policy to support student expeditions or tours, political organisations or causes, which benefit only one individual. We partner with established organisations with diverse boards, effective leadership, clear objectives, sound financial practices and multiple sources of support. We prefer to give direct to charitable organisations, rather than through third parties. Therefore we do not support sponsored runs, walks, swims and similar, and nor do we buy advertising space in charity programmes.
