Poppy Day – For Pets Too
After raising more than £180,000 last year for The Royal British Legion, Pets at Home has teamed up with the charity for a second year.
The pet care store has launched a limited-edition collaboration of poppy accessories for pets. The Royal British Legion will receive 100% of the profits from all poppy items sold.
From glittery collar charms to poppy Pac-a-macs, pet owners can show support whatever their pooch’s style. And 100% of the product range’s profits will be donated to the UK’s largest Armed Forces Charity.
Poppy collar charm, £1. Glitter poppy collar charm also available, £1.50

Pets at Home chief executive officer Peter Pritchard welcomed the campaign. He said, “We are delighted to be supporting The Royal British Legion for a second year, by helping pet owners to get involved while raising money for such a worthy cause.”
