Supporting Pets & People Through Partnerships & Corporate Giving

Our mission and vision is simple: To be the world’s most trusted company in enriching the lives of pets and the people who love them.

As a company largely made up of pet owners, we believe that pets and people are better together—and we work with the animal welfare community, knowing that pets make our world a better place.  From donations, to sponsoring events that help bring people and pets together, Purina works to ensure our support makes a positive, meaningful difference.

Nestlé Purina PetCare Canada is proud to support registered rescues, shelters and pet therapy/service dogs across the country. We choose to partner with organizations that share our enthusiasm for the bond between pets and people.

Guide and Service Dogs

We support several guide dogs by donating our veterinary products to their puppies and dogs in training who require specialized diets. We believe that our products help fuel the work days of these dogs, so they can provide comfort and independence to Canadians coping with visual or hearing impairments, seizure response, autism assistance and diabetic alert. We know and value the importance of these dogs in the lives of those who need them.

Donation Programs

Our commitment to making complete, balanced, and high-quality pet care products help support pets, people and communities in need. We actively work with many rescues and shelters to provide food the animals in their care. We provide monetary donations to shelters, rescue groups and animal welfare focused organizations, funding their community events and day-to-day costs like veterinary care and rehabilitation costs.

As you may imagine, we receive numerous requests for sponsorships and charitable donations—more than we are currently able to support. To ensure your application receives the attention it deserves, please be advised that non-registered charities will not be considered. Connect with us to submit your request.
