About this update from Central Garden & Pet Company
[{"type":"text","content":" NEPTUNE CITY, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--\nNylabone, the pet industry-leading provider of innovative dog chew toys, chew treats, play toys, and dental solutions since 1955, has collaborated with American Humane for its Feed the Hungry fund—a program that assists animal shelters and rescue groups in providing care for animals during the COVID-19 pandemic. Throughout September, Nylabone will donate $20,000 and help build campaign awareness through promoting the Feed the Hungry fund donation page on social media.\n\n\nBecause of the worldwide pandemic, animal shelters and rescues are facing a decrease in contributions and events—two of their main revenue drivers. To help these organizations maintain basic services and necessities, American Humane’s Feed the Hungry fund aids in supplying the essential resources that rescues and shelters lack, such as pet food, bedding, and veterinary care for abandoned animals in the United States. Nylabone’s campaign contributions are expected to support thousands of dogs, and the Feed the Hungry fund has already assisted nearly 60 shelter and rescue partners.\n\n\n“As shelters and rescues face the ripple effects of COVID-19, dogs need our assistance more than ever,” said Glen S. Axelrod, President and CEO of Nylabone® Products. “It’s important to us at Nylabone to continue supporting American Humane during these unprecedented times and help provide animals the essential care they need.”\n\n\nIn addition to teaming up with American Humane for its Feed the Hungry fund, Nylabone has been continually involved with the organization and its Pups4Patriots™ program. This honorable program unites qualified dogs in need of homes and dogs with military veterans suffering from serious—but often unseen—mental or physical trauma, helping them rebuild their lives together. Nylabone donates chew toys to ease these dogs’ journeys as they are trained to lend lifesaving assistance to veterans.\n\n\nNylabone supports and donates to hundreds of dog shelters, animal welfare groups, and canine service organizations through the Nylabone Cares program. This initiative gives adoptable dogs the behavioral tools they need to thrive in their forever homes, encourages positive chewing habits, and educates pet parents on why dogs chew.\n\n\nLearn more about the Nylabone Cares mission at www.nylabone.com/about-us/nylabone-cares.\n\...
