Remembrance Day: Poppies for pets?

With 100% of the profits* going to The Royal British Legion

With Remembrance Day just around the corner, people will be showing their support for the Armed Forces community by wearing poppies as a symbol of hope and remembrance. This year, pet owners will also have the chance to get their cats and dogs involved.

After raising over £180,000 last year for The Royal British Legion, Pets at Home has teamed up with the charity for a second year to launch a very special, limited-edition collaboration of poppy accessories for pets.

From glittery poppy collar charms to poppy pac-a-macs, pet owners will be able to showcase their support whatever their pooches’ style, with 100% of the product range’s profits* donated to the UK’s largest Armed Forces Charity.

The Royal British Legion provides lifelong support for the Armed Forces community – serving men and women, veterans, and their families. This support includes recovery after injury or illness, moving on after leaving the military, lobbying the government on key issues and ensuring individuals are not disadvantaged because of their service.

Pets at Home Chief Executive Officer, Peter Pritchard, said: “We are delighted to be supporting The Royal British Legion for a second year, by helping pet owners to get involved while raising money for such a worthy cause.”

Products in the range include embroidered poppy collar charms, poppy bandanas and poppy pac-a-macs and are available in-store and online now.
