Pet hunger programs

When families experience food insecurity, their pets do too. PetSmart Charities supports pet hunger programming that helps ensure families receive nutritious meals for their pets alongside meals for themselves. 

Donated pet food

Through our partnership with Feeding America, nutritious, first-run pet food is donated by PetSmart Charities into a wide network of affiliate food banks. Food banks distribute pet food into the community alongside human food to ensure the whole family gets the nutrition they need. We do not fund individual animal welfare organizations within this grant category. If your organization is in need of donated pet food, visit the Greater Good Charities website.

Grants that support pets living with seniors

PetSmart Charities partners with Meals on Wheels America to help community organizations across the country support seniors and their pets. Meals on Wheels America uses the funding they receive through our partnership to power their Meals on Wheel Loves Pets grant program. The program helps local Meals on Wheels providers offer pet food, supplies like litter and treats, and, in some communities, veterinary care for companion animals.
