Our 140 years of experience have taught us that behind every animal in crisis, there is often a person in crisis. That is why we are committed to supporting both pets and their owners in every way possible.
Since launching our first Pet Food Bank in 2019, our reach has grown significantly, thanks to supporters like you. In 2024, we provided food for over 3,800 dogs and cats each month across more than 80 locations in East and Central Scotland. In addition to food, we offer essential pet care items such as harnesses, leads, and grooming brushes, as well as access to affordable vet care and educational courses through our Pet Care Clinics.
At Edinburgh Dog and Cat Home, we believe in love without limits, ensuring that people and pets receive the support they need, whenever they need it.
