The PEDIGREE® brand’s Essential Support Dogs program recognizes all dogs as essential and celebrates the work they’ve done to get us through tough times. As part of the program, the PEDIGREE brand committed to donating $5 per qualifying social post,1 up to $100K, to PEDIGREE Foundation to provide assistance for dogs in need through its Essential Support Dogs Safety Net grants program. Pet parents shared their stories, and despite not yet reaching the full $100k amount through social posts, the PEDIGREE Brand is committed to supporting dogs in need and has donated the full $100K.

“We know how much people have turned to their pets for unconditional love and support over the past few years and through the PEDIGREE brand’s Essential Support Dogs program and its donation to support these grants, shelters across the country can continue to keep people and pets together through challenging times,” said Kimberly Wise, President of PEDIGREE Foundation. “We’re inspired by the work shelters are doing to drive change in their communities and help deserving dogs find loving homes. Now more than ever, shelters need our support as they are at capacity and are unable to take more dogs under their care. We encourage people to adopt, foster, volunteer or donate to your local shelter to help continue to drive this change and end pet homelessness.”
