Pet Aid is our initiative to support people and pets who are struggling.

Through Pet Aid, we provide essential food supplies for animals through a network of food banks across most of Scotland. Keeping pets and people together is an amazing way to protect animal welfare. Nobody should have to give up their pet because they are unable to afford the items they need.

Calls to our animal helpline to give up pets have more than trebled in 2022. Many people don’t want to give up their animal, but feel they have no choice. Through Pet Aid, we offer people who need a small hand some vital support.

If you need help or advice, you can call our animal helpline in confidence on 03000 999 999.

It’s not okay to abandon an animal, but it is okay to talk to us if you feel you are struggling.

How can Foodbanks and other charities register an interest in offering Pet Aid?

Pet Aid is a pilot, but we are keen to expand it to cover as much of Scotland as possible.

If you run a foodbank or charity and think the people you help could benefit from Pet Aid, please complete this quick survey and we will be in touch.

The Scottish SPCA is now using what3words. Download the app to get the unique three word code for your location and make it easier for our team to respond to your call.

As we are only rehoming via our website right now, please don't call us if that's what you are enquiring about, so our helpline team can assist those with animals in urgent need.
