A huge thank you to everyone who contributed to our ‘Give a Pet a Christmas Dinner’ campaign which ran throughout December. We received a huge number of donations to help charities support dogs and cats in local shelters waiting for their forever homes. You donated an incredible 673 tins, sachets and trays of wet food, just shy of 40kg of dry food, 90 packets of treats and nearly 100 pet toys, not to mention stacks of pet accessories including pet beds, blankets, towels, leads, harnesses, bowls, brushes, puppy pads and more!
Cat donations have been shared between 4 local cat charities. These are the doggy donations which were dropped off at Birmingham Dogs Home in Coven at the beginning of this week. There were so many that they filled the empty collection bin in the foyer and we had to stack the rest of the donations at the sides!
Pet charities rely on donations like these to undertake the great work they do looking after homeless pets in need. They are hugely grateful for your amazing kindness and generosity.

With predictions for a foot of snow in the next 24 hours, here are some great tips from The Dogs Trust for keeping dogs safe when you’re out and about in wintery weather:
In snowy weather, to help prevent injury, keep dogs on a lead to ensure they don’t unwittingly venture onto unsafe ground or stumble into holes hidden by snowfall.
Do up any lead or harness clips before you set out as they are harder to manage with cold hands.
Some dogs get cold more readily than others. Shorter-haired breeds and puppies will benefit from wearing a dog coat to keep them warm.
Don’t let dogs walk on frozen ponds as the ice may not bear their weight. If they do fall in, do not go in after them. Encourage your dog to swim back to you if possible and call the emergency services.
Make sure you and your dog are easily visible to others in poor weather to keep you safe.
After winter walks, wipe your dog’s legs, feet and tummy as grit and dampness can cause irritation.
If it’s too nasty to go outside for any length of time, have some activities to hand to entertain your dog indoors. Long lasting chews, LickiMats® and enrichment toys are great for engagement. Check out our carefully curated range in our waiting room!

Every December we run a ‘Give a Pet a Christmas Dinner’ campaign to support dogs and cats in local shelters waiting for their forever homes. We collect wet and dry food and treats, but also welcome pet accessories to provide homeless pets with a little extra festive love. Accessories can include collars, leads, toys, blankets, bedding, bowls – pretty much anything you think would be useful for feline and canine wellbeing and care. We collect throughout the month and donations are then distributed to Birmingham Dogs Home (Coven branch) and various local cat charities early in the new year.
Our collection bins are all set up and ready to receive in our 387 and West Midlands Cat Clinic waiting rooms! If you’d like to donate, we’d be incredibly grateful and we know pets in shelter – and the charities themselves – will be incredibly grateful too.
