Battling pet food poverty

Cariad Pet Food Bank is a community project set up and run by Cariad Pet Therapy. Cariad Pet Therapy is a Community Interest Company established in 2018 and runs an award winning pet therapy organisation across West and South Wales.​

Cariad Pet Food Bank was set up in December 2020 with support from the WCVA with a COVID recovery grant for 6 months. It opened its doors on January 4th 2021 at the new pet food bank shop at 113 City Road, Haverfordwest. 

We felt that pet owners in our community shouldn't have to face the difficult decision of whether to feed their pets before themselves. We could see that pet food poverty was a real issue that went often unseen. We estimated that 1.9 million pets are owned by people who use a human food bank. 

Our mission is:

  • to ensure that pets have access to nutritious food during times of financial hardship

  • by offering a pet owner a timely, responsive, individual pet food bank service they will continue to receive the comfort, companionship and wellness that pets provide

  • these measures, in turn, will aid the prevention of a pet being taken into a rehoming facility​

Since January 2021 - February 2022 the pet food bank has donated 109,328 pet food meals to pet owners experiencing financial hardship in Pembrokeshire and Carmarthenshire.
