Feeding Your Pet Is Our Priority

Our Story

About Us

Pets In Need Herts CIC was founded due to being in hardship for a short period.
 

We were thankful Foodbank’s were able to kindly donate, but sadly they couldn’t give us the level of support needed. We thankfully were able to get help from family members.

 
We couldn’t get over the ever increasing thoughts that there are many people out there who don’t have family and friends to help them out, and more importantly “ what will be the outcome for their pets”

"Great service and well needed. We have struggled this month with the cost of living going up, so friendly and no judgement either."

How Can We Help?

Our pet food bank is to be used when you are in an emergency situation where you have no immediate finances or family support to buy pet food, and without the support of the pet food bank your pets will go without food.

We will always do our best to help your pet with their daily care needs or any other problems they maybe facing.

We will support owners who may need assistance for any problems they are facing that aren’t related to their pet.

​We are for short term support only, not a long term solution.

We aim to donate at least a months worth of pet food where possible. As well accessories for your pets daily care needs. Such as beds, towels, toys , flea and worm treatments.

Please let us know what items you need in the additional comments box.

Please be aware we rely on donations and can only donate what we have been kindly donated.

We will aim to provide your pet with their dietary requirements if we have the items in stock.

Parcels maybe smaller if we have a limited supply, or, have had a greater number of service users who are waiting.
