Pets at Home stores to host charity breakfast



Pets at Home stores across the country are to host a Big Dogs Breakfast this weekend.

The Big Dogs Breakfast will take place in stores at 9am on Sunday 2nd November, and visitors are invited - with or without their dogs - to enjoy a hot beverage and some breakfast treats in return for a small donation.

All funds raised on the day will go to Dogs for the Disabled, which works to change lives by providing assistance dogs to those in need.

The charity also supports families with a child affected by autism through specialist pet dog workshops and assistance dogs.

Pets at Home store manager, Steve Spiers, said: “We’re really excited about this event as it’s a great opportunity to meet people from across the community or catch-up with familiar faces over breakfast.

“Whether you’re a dog owner or not, we’d love you to come down to help us raise money and change people’s lives through Dogs for the Disabled’s support.”

As well as breakfast, there will be fun activities on offer for everyone to enjoy, including quizzes and competitions.

Dogs for the Disabled chief executive, Peter Gorbing, said: “It’s great that Pets at Home have been able to get on-board and support our event to help us raise vital funds that will make a huge difference to people’s lives.

“An assistance dog also gives its owner a reason to go out, giving them a new found confidence that opens doors to fresh opportunities including friendships, hobbies, education and even careers.

“The partnerships created by Dogs for the Disabled between people facing great challenges and dogs are life-changing.

“Just £3 will feed a pup a nourishing breakfast for a week, £5 buys a puppy a breakfast bowl, £20 pays for a jacket, collar and lead and £100 will fund four puppy training classes.”

There are currently 181 dogs working in partnership with adults, 52 with children with a disability and 43 working with a family with a child with autism.
