Save A Lot donated more than $27,700 worth of Oliver & Scout private brand pet food to help local animal shelters and charities feed homeless pets during National Pet Month in May.
Participating stores and each of Save A Lot’s seven distribution centers partnered with shelters to donate pallets of the pet food totaling more than 20 tons.
“We’re committed to supporting the communities we live and do business in – which includes helping our furry friends,” said Paul Hoskins, category manager of pet food at Save A Lot.
“National Pet Month created a great opportunity for our stores to build connections with local shelters and highlight our private label offering. This is a cause that is important to many of us at Save A Lot and we’re proud to support the amazing work local shelters are doing to care for animals in need.”
Save A Lot’s Oliver & Scout pet food can be found at stores across the country. Formulations include adult dog food in 3.5-lb, 20-lb, and 50-lb sizes; small dog food in 3.5-lb and 20-lb sizes; and cat food in 3.5-lb and 16-lb sizes.
