Pet food collection event at Portland Trail Blazers game a success
11/24/2009
This past Saturday, Banfield collected Pet food from fans as they entered the Portland Trail Blazers home basketball game. Bringing in nearly 700 pounds of Pet food, the collection event was a huge success. The food collected at the game, as well as throughout the Season of Suppers campaign, will help keep hungry Pets of homebound seniors fed this holiday season and beyond. Season of Suppers, now in its fourth year, was created with the realization that many seniors were sharing their once-daily delivered meal from Meals On Wheels Association of America (MOWAA) with their Pets, compromising the nutrition of both.

Help feed hungry Pets this holiday season
11/11/2009
As we gear up for the holiday season, you can help feed the Pets of homebound seniors who are in need. Season of Suppers, now in its fourth year, was created with the realization that many seniors were sharing their once-daily delivered meal from Meals On Wheels Association of America (MOWAA) with their Pets, compromising the nutrition of both. Banfield and its charitable arm, the Banfield Charitable Trust (BCT), partnered with MOWAA in 2006 to create the Season of Suppers campaign to fight senior and Pet hunger. In 2008, the campaign raised more than $42,000 and countless bags of food. The BCT is hoping to double monetary and food donations this year to fund or start up new Pet feeding programs for a record number of Pets. Read more »

10/29/2009
Catnip, an herb in the Lamiaceae family resembling a mint with grayish-green leaves, is known to have positive behavioral and emotional effects on cats – and sometimes, even dogs. While some cats will do anything to roll in, sniff, or even eat a freshly-sprinkled pile of the leafy plant, others (approximately one-third, according to some sources) seem to be unaffected by it.
