Chuck & Don’s Donating 15,000 Cans of Cat Food to Support The Bond Between Pet Wellness Center

Chuck & Don’s Donating 15,000 Cans of Cat Food to Support The Bond Between Pet Wellness Center

MINNEAPOLIS (June 20, 2022): Chuck & Don’s Pet Food & Supplies, recently ranked by Newsweek as the number two pet retailer in the nation for 2022, is hosting a donation drive throughout the month of June to secure 15,000 cans of cat food that will benefit the Chuck & Don’s Pet Wellness Center.

The Chuck & Don’s Wellness Center, located in Minneapolis, was created in partnership with The Bond Between (formerly Secondhand Hounds), which is one of the largest animal rescue organizations in the state, having saved more than 25,000 animals since 2009. In 2021, Chuck & Don’s helped The Bond Between expand their facility from 2,000 to 8,000 square feet so that it could house the “People & Pets Together” food shelf, which helps pet parents facing economic hardship receive food and other services in an effort to keep pets healthy and remain in their loving forever homes. Last year, “People & Pets Together” distributed more than 200,000 pounds of dog and cat food to nearly 1,200 households in need of assistance.

The cat canned food drive further demonstrates Chuck & Don’s commitment to nourishment, a key pillar in their 5 Pillars of Pet Wellness®. By providing canned food via these critical donations, through the support of The Bond Between and the Chuck & Don’s Pet Wellness Center, those in need can care for their pets, resulting in fewer pets ending up at the shelter.  

Cat canned food donations can be dropped off at any of Chuck & Don’s 34 retail locations throughout Minneapolis and Wisconsin.

Pump Up the Pumpkin for Pet Digestive Health by Chuck & Don's

Pump Up the Pumpkin for Pet Digestive Health by Chuck & Don's

The holidays mean family, friends, fun and of course, food! For your furry friends, a little too much food can sometimes mean a holiday hangover. But not to worry, one seasonal favorite can be used year-round to help soothe that holiday bellyache – pumpkin!

That’s right, pumpkin is a digestive health lifesaver, the Imodium or Pepto for pets. Packed with both soluble and insoluble fiber content, pumpkin helps to soothe an upset stomach, slows digestion and firms up loose stools.

But that’s not all. The healthy fiber in pumpkin helps your pet feel more satiated so they won’t be hungry if they’re trying to shed a few pounds. Pumpkin is also low in calories and rich in essential nutrients, like vitamins A & C, potassium, antioxidants, fatty acids and beta carotene. Plus, it’s a great source of hydration which can help with a pet’s constipation.

Giving Your Pets Pumpkin Safely

Not sure about the amount of pumpkin to feed your pets? Just a tablespoon per 10 pounds of body weight is all it takes (max out at 5 tablespoons when it comes to the bigger guys). You can add it to your pet’s food, mix with other healthy ingredients & freeze fresh pumpkin, or offer it alone as a tasty treat!

Before you reach into your cupboard for your human-grade canned pumpkin, pumpkin seeds, pureed pumpkin or pumpkin pie filling, check out the special formulations created specifically for your furry friend.
