Pet Supplies Plus Donates Nearly $20,000 in Pet Necessities to Support Best Friends Animal Society Amid California Wildfire Relief Efforts

The Nation's Largest Pet Retail Franchise Provides Essential Supplies to Aid Pets Affected by California Wildfires

LIVONIA, Mich., Jan. 27, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- In response to the devastating California wildfires, Pet Supplies Plus, the largest and most trusted pet retail franchise in the United States, has teamed up with Natural Balance, Coastal Pet Products, and Hamilton Pet Products to provide crucial support for affected animals. This timely donation is being given to Best Friends Animal Society and will help ensure that displaced pets have access to essential supplies during this challenging period.

Pet Supplies Plus has gifted $15,000 worth of essential pet supplies from Coastal Pet Products and Hamilton Pet Products, including collars, leashes, and harnesses to support pets impacted by the wildfires. Additionally, through collaboration with Natural Balance, the company has donated 1,152 pounds of dog food, valued at nearly $5,000, to help maintain the wellbeing of affected pets.

"During natural disasters like these devastating wildfires, both people and their pets face immense challenges," said Chris Rowland, CEO of Pet Supplies Plus. "We're grateful for our partnership with Best Friends Animal Society and the opportunity to gift these essential supplies to pets and families who are really in need. Our goal is to provide some relief during this difficult time and support the incredible work being done by local rescue organizations."

Best Friends Animal Society, a longtime partner of Pet Supplies Plus, is a leading national animal welfare organization working to end the killing of dogs and cats in America's shelters. The organization runs lifesaving programs across the country, including L.A., and has been supporting local shelters during the California wildfires while operating a pet pantry out of their West L.A. Pet Adoption Center to provide essential supplies for both people and pets.     

"We are immensely grateful to Pet Supplies Plus for their support of the many pets impacted by the California wildfires," said Julie Castle, CEO of Best Friends Animal Society.
